VSI is created with wrong value for recorded request argument

Products

• CA Application Test
• Service Virtualization
• CA Continuous Application Insight (PathFinder)

Issue/Introduction

When creating a virtual service image, we observed one of the request arguments value is not what was recorded.
The VSI is showing a different value of what was recorded.

Environment

All supported DevTest releases.

Resolution

Verify if the de-identify option is checked in the VSE Recorder.
De-identification (formerly called desensitization) means attempting to recognize sensitive data and substituting random, but validly formatted, values for that data during recording.
If this is option is checked, the recognized sensitive data will be replaced.

There is also a De-Identifier data protocol available that can be added in the request side data protocol handler.
