These test cases can be created in the the test group CORE_SAMPLES from within the Gateway client.

The currently 75 test cases span from showing how to use $batch, $filter and other query parameters such as $skip, $top and so on.

1. Start the Gateway client using transaction /IWFND/GW_CLIENT
2. Choose Select as if you were to select an existing test case from the database, choose Select
   
3. From the menu choose Gateway Client (1) and then Create Core Samples (2)

5. By selecting one of the entries you open the Gateway Client like shown in the following with a $batch request.
