Contacting Rational Technical Support
1. Stop all Rational products.
2. When you are installing TestStudio, you must stop the ProxyServer
Service (rtpxsr.exe) if it is running on your computer. Do the following:
·
For NT servers:
a)
Select
Start->Settings->Control Panel->Services.
b)
Select
ProxyServerService.
c)
Click Stop.
·
For Windows 2000:
a) Select Start->Settings->Control Panel->Administrative
Tools->Computer Management.
b) Click Services and Applications.
c) Click Services.
d) Select ProxyServerService.
e) From the Action menu, click Stop.
3. To stop the Agent process for NT and Windows 2000 test agents
a)
Open Task Manager.
b)
Select the Task Manager
Processes tab.
c)
End the agent process
called rtprvd.exe.
4. If you are going to be doing DCOM recording, you should unregister
your existing version of rtxcomspy.dll:
a) Select Start->Run and then type cmd. A command prompt appears.
b) Change (cd) to the
folder that contains your existing Rational Test installation (%RATL_RTHOME%).
c) Type the
command: regsvr32 -u rtxcomspy.dll
5.
If you have previously done DCOM recording, your registry
will contain two keys related to DCOM recording, Exclude CLSID Set and PreCache
Typelib Set. These keys must be
replaced. If these keys are not present
in your registry, skip this step. If
the keys do exist, use regedit to rename them
a)
Select
Start->Run and then type regedit.
The Registry Editor will appear.
b)
In the
Registry Editor, navigate to the selection:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Rational
Software\Rational Test\8\Robot\VU Recording\API Recording
c)
Rename the “Exclude CLSID Set” entry to “RTM Exclude CLSID Set” by right clicking on the “Exclude
CLSID Set” entry.
d)
Rename the “PreCache Typelib Set” entry to “RTM PreCache Typelib Set” by right clicking on the “PreCache
Typelib Set” entry.
The keys will be
automatically re-generated with updated values the next time you record.
1. If you have downloaded the service release consolidated patch zip
file, rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch.zip, you’ll need to first extract teststudio2001A.04.01.293.004.zip
from it. If you already have the teststudio2001A.04.01.293.004.zip
file, skip Steps 2 through 4 below and go to Step 5.
2. Go to the folder in which you downloaded the service release
consolidated patch zip file.
3. Open the consolidated patch zip file and select teststudio2001A.04.01.293.004.zip.
Extract teststudio2001A.04.01.293.004.zip by clicking on Extract and specifying
a new folder, such a C:\Temp\TestStudio.
This extracts teststudio2001A.04.01.293.004.zip to the folder rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch
contained in the new folder you specified.
4. Go into
the rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch folder in the folder that you specified
in Step 3, for example, C:\Temp\TestStudio\rs_2001a.04.01_consolidated_patch.
5. Extract
the files from teststudio2001A.04.01.293.004.zip into a
new folder named SR1.
6. When the
extraction is complete, select Start->Run and then type cmd. A command prompt appears.
7. Change (cd) to the SR1 folder that contains the extracted
files.
8. Install
the service release.
·
To install the service release for a local (non-agent)
computer, change (cd) to the
Windows folder and type the following command:
xcopy /e
/s *.* “C:\Program Files\Rational”
This command copies all service release files into their
corresponding Rational folders. If you originally installed in a folder other
than C:\Program Files\Rational, use that folder name in the xcopy command.
·
To install on a Windows
Test Agent computer, copy the contents of the Windows_Agent directory to the
Rational installation directory.
Change (cd) to the
Windows_Agent folder and type the following command:
xcopy /e
/s *.* “C:\Program Files\Rational”
This will copy all service release files into their
corresponding Rational folders. If you originally installed in a folder other
than C:\Program Files\Rational, use that folder name in the xcopy command,
9. If you are going to be doing DCOM recording, you must register
the updated version of rtxcomspy.dll:
a) Select Start->Run and then type cmd. A command prompt appears.
b) Change (cd) to the folder that contains your existing Rational Test installation
(%RATL_RTHOME%).
c) Type the command: regsvr32 rtxcomspy.dll
Note: On Windows NT and Windows 2000 hosts, both the ProxyServer
Service and agent process are configured by default to start at boot time. If
you do not reboot after installing the service release, restart the ProxyServer
Service on local hosts and the agent process on agent hosts.
