How can I pass a parameter from XML Response tag in a new GET XML Request in Soap UI?

I have tried to find a solution in this community in different threads but yet to find one that I am looking for.

I am using SoapUI version 5.3.0 My Application have a couple of RESTful APIs. Initially I am sending json request to a WebService and getting back the following XML Response:

<StartDataExtractResult xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/AriaTechCore" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <StatusCode>1</StatusCode>
   <StatusText>success</StatusText>
   <RequestNumber>397</RequestNumber>
</StartDataExtractResult>

As soon as RequestNumber tag is generated. I have to access to 2 more XML EndPoints (where the value of RequestNumber is appended) to know the Status as below:

A. http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetExtractionDetails/396

B. http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetRequestStatus/396

As of now, I have created the 2 seperateTestSteps for the above mentioned XML Endpoints:

A. http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetExtractionDetails/

B. http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetRequestStatus/

Now I need to append the value within tag in the GET Request to get back a response from the WebServices.

Update: I have created a 'Property Transfer' at Testsuite level as "TSreqNum". This 'Property Transfer' is getting updated as per the initial Response. But I am not sure how would I append "TSreqNum" to construct the complete GET Request as: http://quickextract.quickaudit.in/webs/quickextract.svc/GetExtractionDetails/TSreqNum

Can anyone help me out please?

Solution

  • You can use the property within the URL of the GET request:

    http://host:port/path/${#TestSuite#TSreqNum}

    The URL gets updated with the property value.
