IBM® Rational® Performance Tester and IBM Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality provide IBM Rational Build Forge® sample
projects that demonstrate the ability to launch automated scripts
fromRational Quality Manager with Rational Test Lab Manager.
IBM Rational Test Lab Manager is a web-based
quality solution integrating the management and deployment of test
environments within the quality management lifecycle. Rational Test Lab Manager relies on Rational Quality Manager and Rational Build Forge to automate the installation
of test products such as Rational Performance Tester and Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality
A
set of sample projects for Rational Build Forge are provided
to demonstrate the automation of Rational Performance Tester, Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality,
and Rational Performance Tester Agent
controller from Rational Quality Manager with Rational Test Lab Manager.
They
also show how automation can be used to configure and start the Rational Quality Manager adapters
in Rational Performance Tester and Rational Service Tester.
Each site will need to customize the Build Forge projects
and Installation
Manager response
files.
Note: All of the files mentioned in this topic are located
in
install_dir \RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\rtlm_buildforge\RPT-RST_RTLM_Samples.zip, where
install_dir is
the directory where the test workbench is installed, for example,
C:\Program
Files\IBM\SDP.
Projects and response files have been
provided for Windows® and Linux®.
See the Rational Quality Manager information
center for more information about integrating with Rational Build Forge.
Troubleshooting
Problem |
Solution or cause |
Projects do not appear in . |
- Check that projects appear in Build Forge.
The projects must be imported into Build Forge before
they appear in Rational Quality Manager.
You can import the projects running import.bat.
- Ensure that Build Forge has
been configured to allow Rational Quality Manager to
connect to it. See the Rational Quality Manager information
center for details.
- Ensure that Rational Quality Manager has
been configured to point to the Build Forge server.
See the Rational Quality Manager information
center for details.
- Some time is required before Rational Quality Manager is
synchronized with Build Forge.
To force synchronization, in Rational Quality Manager,
use the Synchronize/Discover buttons in the view.
- In Rational Quality Manager,
check . This view contains the
logs related to synchronizing products.
|
Servers do not appear in . |
- Check if the server exists in Build Forge.
If it is not defined then you must define the server in the Build
Forge management console.
- Check if the server has connectivity to its Build Forge Agent.
To verify connectivity, click the Test Connection button
in the Build Forge server
details area.
- Check that both Build Forge and Rational Quality Manager are
configured to be used together. Refer to the solutions for projects
not appearing in .
|
The Rational Quality Manager automation
job fails. |
- Check the Rational Quality Manager automation
log for the failed job. Start with the last step executed before the
automation failed.
- In Build Forge,
check the log for the last job. Note: All of the projects end up
calling either the INSTALL or UN-INSTALL Build Forge library
so it is necessary to check the log for INSTALL or UN-INSTALL.
- In Build Forge,
if the job fails because it could not retrieve a response file, then
ensure that the server has GET permission.
- Ensure Installation
Manager is
installed on the target machine before starting any Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality automations
on that target machine. Ensure that the Installation
Manager is
installed in the default location.
