Creating a WebSocket Action

This section describes how to create a WebSocket action from the ground up. To record a request using an existing client, see Record a WebSocket request.

A right-click on a Container (Transaction, page, etc.) gives access to:

• Insert after > WebSocket Request,
• Insert as child > WebSocket Request.

A WebSocket action is created.

Name: The default websocket_request incremented name can be modified.

WebSocket channel: Because a WebSocket action requires a WebSocket channel, Neotys Design Studio automatically associates the first channel found in the scenario. The associated channel is displayed as a link to access it directly in the design view. When there is no channel available or when it is necessary to assign another channel, a click on the Change channel button makes it possible to select another channel.

WebSocket request: This is the call to the WebSocket application, for example CONNECT.

• Information: For more information about the WebSocket channel, see Create a WebSocket channel.
