# IngestTest

The `IngestTest` action instructs CFS to ingest data for testing purposes. You can use this action to perform tests on a small volume of data and verify the output from the import process.

`IngestTest` is similar to the `Ingest` action, but has the following differences which make it suitable for testing:

- `IngestTest` is a synchronous action, and the document data is returned in the ACI response.
- Indexing, whether as a result of ingestion or as a result of an import task, is disabled.
- Update and Delete commands are disabled (you cannot use the `updates` and `removes` action parameters like you can with the `Ingest` action).

- Any writer tasks that have been configured (`IdxWriter`, `XmlWriter`, `JsonWriter`, `CsvWriter`, `SqlWriter`) are disabled.

- Logging to the import log stream is disabled. The log messages are redirected to the action response.
- The global Lua variable `is_test` is set to `true`. You can use this variable in your Lua scripts to prevent certain parts of your scripts from running when you use the `IngestTest` action.

## Syntax

    /action=IngestTest
    	   [&config=<base64_encoded_config>]
    	    &adds=<adds_xml>

## Parameters

The `IngestTest` action takes the following parameters:

Parameter Name | Description
--- | ---
`config` | An optional base64 encoded configuration file. If this parameter is set, then the HPE CFS configuration file is ignored and the encoded configuration options are used instead.
adds | An XML string containing the documents to be ingested by CFS. You can specify any combination of document content, metadata, and source files. HPE recommends that you restrict use of the `IngestTest` action to small numbers of documents.

## Example

The following command is an example `IngestTest` action. The `config` action parameter contains a base64 encoded configuration that runs a single Lua post task (`script.lua`):

    /action=IngestTest
            &config=W0ltcG9ydFRhc2tzXQpQb3N0MD1MdWE6c2NyaXB0Lmx1YQ==
            &adds=<adds><add><document><reference>MyRef</reference>
    	       <xmlmetadata><type>file</type></xmlmetadata></document>
                  <source filename='test.txt' lifetime='permanent'/></add></adds>

You must URL encode the action before you can send it to CFS.

## Response

The example action above runs a single Lua post-import task (`script.lua`). If you use the following script:

    function handler( document )
       document:setFieldValue("LUA_CALLED", "true")
       return true;
    end

...the response to the action is:

If the action specifies multiple documents, or processes a container file, the response will contain multiple `<document>` elements.
