Postman Visualizer for IFS Cloud Trace

You can get the IFS trace data for a projection call by adding the query parameter odata-debug. This will add the trace information in ifs-trace node of the response message. Since the trace data is in JSON format, it's hard to interpert the information using tools like Postman.

Postman Visualizer is a good tool where you can visually represent the request responses. Here you can find a visualizer script for representing IFS trace information in readable format in Postman.

How to Use

• Create a new Postman Collection
• Add a new request to the collection, and use any IFS projection call.
• Go to the Tests tab of the collection
• Copy the code from src/postman-visualizer-ifscloud-trace.js and paste in the Postman Tests. You can add the test script to the collection if there are many requests.
• Make sure the query parameter odata-debug is included in the request.

Eg: {{ifs_url}}/main/ifsapplications/projection/v1/YOUR_PROJECTION_CALL?odata-debug=json

• Go to the Visualize tab in the response. Trace information can be seen in readable format.

Features
