This topic describes how to configure the Agent Controller
on Linux to enable remote execution of configured test cases.
Before you begin
Before you can configure the Agent Controller, you must
install it. The Rational Performance Tester installation procedure
installs the Agent Controller and lets you configure it, so you should
not have to perform any additional configuration steps for that testing
tool. This topic applies if you use Rational Functional Tester, or
Rational Robot. See the Help topic, Working with the Agent Controller in
the testing tool Help for additional information.
You must edit
your PATH environment variable to include the path to the Java Runtime
Environment (JRE) installed on the computer. From the bash shell,
enter the export command to update the PATH environment variable.
For example: export PATH=/opt/IBM/RFT70/jdk/jre:$PATH.
About this task
To configure and run the Agent Controller, perform the
following steps:
- From the command shell, navigate to the Agent Controller bin directory.
For example: cd /opt/IBM/SDP70Shared/AgentController/bin.
- Enter SetConfig.sh and press the Enter
key.
- The configuration utility displays the following prompt: Specify
the fully qualified path of "java.exe". The default value
is the path to the JRE installed with the testing product. Press the
Enter key to accept the default path shown, or enter another path
and press the Enter key. For Rational Functional Tester, the JRE version
must be the same JRE version that was used to compile the test scripts
associated with the configured test cases that you plan to execute
on the remote computer.
- The configuration utility displays the following prompt: Network
access mode (ALL=allow any host, LOCAL=allow only this host, CUSTOM=list
of hosts). The default value is LOCAL. Enter ALL and press
the Enter key to allow any ClearQuest Test Manager client to execute
configured test cases on this computer.
- The configuration utility displays the following prompt: Security
enabled. (true/false). The default value is FALSE. The
Security enabled option is not currently supported. Press the Enter
key to accept the default value.
- Accept the default values on the remaining prompts.
- Now that the Agent Controller is configured properly, enter RAStart.sh and
press the Enter key to start the Agent Controller.
