Integration with Rational® Service
Tester for
SOA Quality is implemented through the use of an adapter. The adapter
is installed by default when you install Rational Service
Tester for SOA Quality Version. After the installation, you must configure
and run the adapter.
The adapter can
be run in three
modes:
- In GUI mode, from within the test workbench itself
- From the command line
- As a Windows® service
Further details can be found in the Rational Service
Tester for SOA Quality Information Center.
Known
limitations
- When shell sharing Rational Performance Tester and Rational Service
Tester, the adapter registers itself as a Rational Performance Tester adapter.
To register as a Rational Service Tester adapter, Rational Service
Tester must be installed as it's own software package.
- Running
tests from Rational Quality Manager with
encrypted data pools is not supported. Password prompting when using
such a datapool is not done in the adapter service or in the command-line
mode. This is also discouraged in the GUI mode, because it requires
user interaction with Rational Performance Tester for
a run initiated from the Rational Quality Manager Web
user interface.
- Only one adapter per product installation
on a given computer
should be started. Using multiple adapters on the same computer requires
that you install each product as its own software package in it's
own directory. If you are running multiple adapters on the same computer,
ensure that they are using different workspaces.
