A data file must be created for each simulator provided by the offline tester. These are called tester files.

Each tester file is written in a specific data format. However, the user can easily create the tester files by command input, using the offline tester. This is called the tester file creation facility.

Table 10-1 lists the tester files that can be created using the tester file creation facility.

Table 10-1 Tester files created by tester file creation facility

Tester files		Simulator using the tester file
Service request data files	RPC request data file	Client UAP simulator
	XATMI request data file	Client UAP simulator
	TxRPC request data file	Client UAP simulator
Service response data files	RPC response data file	Server UAP simulator
	XATMI response data file	Server UAP simulator
	TxRPC response data file	Server UAP simulator
XATMI receive data file		Client UAP simulator
MCF receive message file		MCF simulator
Operating command result data file		Operating command simulator

To generate the tester files, the tester file creation facility uses data in a test data definition file that is created beforehand by the user. Use a text editor to create the data. Data for a number of tester files can be set in the same test data definition file.

Tester files can also be created in the required file format using a binary editor.
