Before You Begin

This 15 minute tutorial shows you how to setup postman which is used throughout this training to make rest calls.

Background

This tutorial uses the Postman application to interact with the Workers API.

What Do You Need?

• Postman App or another client.

Add an Environment

The samples provided use a URL token. Setting an environment variable allows postman to replace the token with the environment string. This step is optional. You may manually replace the token with your environment details.

1. Click Manage Environments.

   

2. Name the environment Oracle Test Env.

3. Give the environment the following variables:

   Note: The Initial Value must come from your environment.

   Attribute	Value
   Variable	url
   Initial Value	https://environment.us.oracle.com/
   Variable	User
   Initial Value	Integration_User01
   Variable	Password
   Initial Value	Password123

4. Click Add.

Create a New Collection

1. Create a collection.

   

2. On the Description tab, name the collection ##_UserAccountsCollection.
3. On the Authorization tab, set type as Basic Auth, and set the credentials to {{User}} and {{Password}}

4. In the Pre-request Scripts tab, enter the following code:

   var moment = require('moment');
   pm.globals.set("dateStamp", moment().format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
   
   pm.globals.set("5DaysAgo", moment().add('days', -5).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
   
   pm.globals.set("4DaysAhead", moment().add('days', 4).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
   
   pm.globals.set("5DaysAhead", moment().add('days', 5).format("YYYY-MM-DD"));
   
   pm.globals.set ("endDate" , '4712-12-31');
