The Computer Address macro is used to insert IP and MAC addresses into the strings generated by a data source using the Custom String data generator.
The macro is an analog of the Computer Address data generator.
Syntax
The macro has the following syntax:
%COMP(AddressFormat)
Parameters
AddressFormat
Specifies the format of generated data. The parameter can have one of the following values:
-
IPv4– Default. Generates IP addresses – for example,131.88.16.212. -
Mac48– Generates MAC addresses – for example,77:D6:85:8A:69:74.
 |
The values are case-sensitive. |
Examples
The following examples demonstrate how to use the Computer Address macro:
-
http://%COMP(IPv4):8080

Generates a URL to an IPv4 address.
-
%COMP(Mac48)
Generates MAC addresses.
-
%COMP(MAC48) <- Invalid value
The parameter is case-sensitive, so ReadyAPI will not parse the custom string.
