Porting existing STAX files

To use existing Software Testing Automation Framework Execution Engine (STAX) task files with IBM® Rational® Quality Manager, they either must be modified to follow the format described in Importing STAX files, or a facade task can be created.

About this task

A facade task is a simple STAX XML file that is used to specify the basic elements Rational Quality Manager requires (default call, title, description, arguments, and return code). The facade task then imports and calls the legacy STAX function.

Procedure

The facade task must be located in the staxPath directory, however the legacy STAX XML files (since they do not follow the Rational Quality Manager format) must be located outside of this directory. In this example, the facade task is located in staxPath in D:\stax\myLegacyTask.xml and the legacy task file is located in D:\legacy\myOldTask.xml.
