Optionally restrict types when running the CTS

[mandy-chessell]

Description

CTS Update

The CTS repository workbench now supports an option called testEntityTypes to provide a list of entity types. The repository workbench will then restrict the instance tests to:

• These listed entities.
• Their super types.
• Any relationships that have the selected entity types at both ends.
• Any classifications that can be attached to the selected entity types.

If the new option is either an empty list or not set then all known types from the technology under test is tested.

Integration connector update

There is a new method on the integration context that allows an integration connector to test if refresh is running. The associated flag is maintined by the integration daemon's IntegrationConnectorHandler.

This enables the integration connector to ignore events while refresh is running since most of these events are likely to be the result of the integration connector's activity.

The Atlas integration connector is now using this feature.

Testing

• Running the CTS notebook with the new option.
• Running the Atlas integration connector which is no longer processing events during refresh.

Release Notes & Documentation

There is a matching PR going into egeria docs.
