Repository entity reidentify test case¶

This test validates that entities can be reidentified.

Operation¶

The entity reidentify tests extract each of the type definitions for entity and creates an instance of that entity type. It ensures that the entity can be retrieved (from the repository) using its original GUID. It then reidentifies the entity with a new GUID. It verifies that the reidentified entity has an updated version and can no longer be retrieved under its original GUID, but that it can be retrieved using its new GUID.

Finally the testcase deletes the entity instance.

Assertions¶

repository-entity-reidentify-01 - typeName new entity created.
repository-entity-reidentify-02 - typeName new entity retrieved.
repository-entity-reidentify-03 - typeName entity is reidentified.
repository-entity-reidentify-04 - typeName entity with new identity version number is version.
repository-entity-reidentify-05 - typeName entity no longer retrievable by previous GUID
repository-entity-reidentify-06 - typeName entity retrievable by new GUID..

Discovered Properties¶

The discovered properties for this test show which of the optional capabilities are supported for this type.

typeName reidentify support : Enabled/Disabled - indicates whether the optional support for the reidentify command is enabled or not.

Sample Output¶

This is the sample output for the DesignPattern type.
