Variables for installrpt environment files

The following variables are located in the installrpt or installrpt-linux environment files provided in the samples for automating the installation of IBM® Rational® Performance Tester and IBM Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality with IBM Rational Quality Manager and Rational Test Lab Manager. You can modify these variables in the Rational Build Forge management console.
Variable Name: im-install-dir
  • Default: C:\Program Files\Installation Manager\eclipse\
  • Expected Change: No

Variable Name: rpt-response-dir
  • Default: FILEROOT\RPT\81\
  • Expected Change: No
  • Description: The location off of source-server BF_ROOT where the Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality response and configuration files should be staged. If the BF_ROOT of source-server is C:\Builds, then create a directory C:\Builds\ FILEROOT\RPT\81\ and place all the Build Forge® assets there. This will be used as the repository for other Build Forge agents.
Variable Name: rqm-config
  • Default: rqmadapter.ini
  • Expected Change: No
  • Staging Required.
  • Description: The name of the file in rpt-response-dir which is the Rational Quality Manager connection file. The Rational Quality Manager connection file can be created in Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality and is located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\RQMConnectivity in Windows® XP. Users should customize this file and stage it in rpt-response-dir.
Variable Name: rqm-config-ws
  • Default: adapter.config.windows or adapter.config.linux
  • Expected Change: No
  • Description: The name of the file in rpt-response-dir which is the Rational Quality Manager configuration file for Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality. It contains the adapter workspace, project area, and adapter name. The Rational Quality Manager configuration file can be created in Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality and is located at C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\config. You should customize this file and stage it in rpt-response-dir.
Variable Name: CONFIG_LICENSE_SERVER
  • Default: N
  • Expected Change: Yes
  • Possible Values: Y or N
  • See: rqm-config, library Configure RQM
  • Description: This variable is used to decide whether the Rational Quality Manager connection configuration file is automatically configured after the install. The variable rqm-config will be the Rational Quality Manager connection configuration file.
Variable Name: CONFIG_RQM_WS
  • Default: N
  • Expected Change: Yes
  • Possible Values: Y or N
  • See: rqm-config, library Configure RQM
  • Description: This variable is used to decide if the Rational Quality Manager adapter configuration file is automatically configured after the install. The variable rqm-config-ws will be the RQM adapter configuration file for Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality.
Variable Name: START_RQM_SERVICE
  • Default: N
  • Expected Change: Yes
  • Possible Values: Y or N
  • See: rqm-config, library Start RQM Service
  • Description: This variable is used to decide whether the Rational Quality Manager adapter Windows service is automatically started after the install. On Linux® the adapter is started in the background and is not automatically started after a reboot.
Variable Name: LICENSE_SERVER_INPUT
  • Default: PortAtHost:2700…52;192.168.1.1;

Variable Name: rqm-adapter-dir
  • Default: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\
  • Expected Change: No
  • Sync with Response File: Yes
  • Description: This is the location of the Rational Quality Manager adapter. This location must be in sync with the response files as it is dependent on where you install Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality.
Variable Name: licadmin-exe
  • Default: Program Files\Installation Manager\eclipse
  • Expected Change: No
  • Sync with Response File: Yes
  • Description: This is the location of the Rational License Key Administrator. If Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality is installed on D: then the license key will install to D:. On Linux this variable is the name of the Rational common licensing configuration file name. The default is $HOME/.flexlmrc. $HOME can not be used in the variable licadmin-exe, therefore it must point to the physical file. For example, if root is the user expected to run Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality: /root/.flexlmrc.
