Add to Provider window

Use this window to add lab resources that are defined in the lab management tool to external tools that are configured as inventory and automation providers. Not all providers support this function. Refer to the documentation included with your external tool provider. The IBM® Rational® Build Forge®, Software Testing Automation Framework, and Software Testing Automation Framework Execution Engine (STAF STAX) integrations that are included with the IBM Rational Quality Manager product support this function.

Rational Build Forge

The Rational Build Forge agent must be installed on the target machine. You must enter the user name and password of the user account on the lab resource that you are adding to Rational Build Forge. In Provider , select the Rational Build Forge server to add the lab resource to. In most cases, the default value is correct.

In Temp Path, you must type the path to the Rational Build Forge agent folder.

If the Rational Build Forge agent machine is configured to use a port other than the default port of 5555, in Port, type the port number.

If you did not configure an alternate port for the Rational Build Forge agent machine or accept the default during the installation of the agent machine, then you do not need to enter anything in Port.

STAF STAX

No additional information is necessary when using the Add to Provider window to add a lab resource to Rational Quality Manager. A STAF agent, version 3.3.0 or later, is required on the target machine. Also, the STAF trust level found in ...STAF/bin/STAF.cfg must be adjusted to include the STAX server that will be issuing requests. This server is typically the same as the Rational Quality Manager server.
