Integrating Rational Quality Manager and Tivoli Application Dependency Manager

You can use IBM® Tivoli® Application Dependency Manager discovery services to discover resources in a test lab that is managed with the IBM Rational® Quality Manager lab management feature. An adapter reads information on lab resources that Tivoli Application Dependency Manager discovers and populates the Rational Quality Manager database.

About this task

You must configure Tivoli Application Dependency Manager to discover resources from the test lab environment that the Rational Quality Manager lab management feature manages. For example, you configure dependency management to discover resources by subnet or IP address range, depending on how the test lab environment is set up. Tivoli Application Dependency Manager discovery runs with sensors only. Discovery library adapters are not needed to support the Rational Quality Manager integration.

Tivoli Application Dependency Manager can be deployed specifically for integrating with Rational Quality Manager or an current Tivoli Application Dependency Manager deployment can be used for the integration.

After the Rational Quality Manager-Tivoli Application Dependency Manager adapter has run, the lab resources that Tivoli Application Dependency Manager discovers need to be configured to be saved in Rational Quality Manager so that the lab resource data is available in Rational Quality Manager.
