Setting up adapter properties

Set up the public URI root for the adapter and the URL for the HP ALM server before you use the adapter.

Before you begin

The application server, either Apache Tomcat or WebSphere® Application Server is set up to work with the adapter.

About this task

Set up the properties to run the adapter.

Procedure

  1. Open the adapter by specifying the host name of the server that you are running the adapter on.

    For example, http://myserver.com:9443/hpqm/

    The Adapter Properties page opens.

    Tip: If you want to see this Adapter Properties page later, you can click the Admin (Administration) icon in the upper right portion of the banner.
  2. In the Public URI Root field, set the value for the Public URI Root for the adapter. This value must be a fully qualified host name.
  3. In the HP ALM Server URL field, specify the URL for your HP ALM server. Click Connect. The Connect to HP ALM dialog opens.
  4. Type in your HP ALM login name and password to connect. This user is added as an administrator for the adapter.

    A message indicates that you successfully connected to the HP ALM server and that you can save to complete the setup.

  5. Optional: Click Add in the Administrators area if you want to add more administrator user IDs. In the dialog that opens, type a valid HPQC administrator user ID for your HP ALM installation. This user ID must match an existing administrator user ID. Click OK.
