Defining a repository for a file location

Before you create a file location, you must define the repositories for test assets. How you define the repository depends on which Rational Test tool or Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform test tool you use with Rational ClearQuest Test Manager. The repository can either be set up by the administrator for an entire site or by each user on their desktop. Before you define a repository, you must create associated asset registry and iteration records.
To define a repository for a file location:
  1. For RFT or RPT, create a new Eclipse project by clicking Window > Open > Open Perspective > Other and selecting Resource and then click File > New > Project. This places a RFT or RPT Eclipse project in the Eclipse workspace.
  2. An Eclipse project location can then be added as a file location with Rational® ClearQuest® Test Manager. To create a file location for the Eclipse project, on the Planning page of the Test Manager view, select the File Locations folder and click New File Location.
  3. The Rational Test tool (RMT) does not use the Eclipse workspace, so the process of adding a file location for a RMT project is different. When the testing project is not in an Eclipse workspace, you must create a shared location for the RMT test assets. The RMT project location must then be defined as a file location. Using the Planning page of the Test Manager view, select the File Locations folder and then click New File Location.
When using test plan, test case, and configured test case records with a Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, when you click Associate Test Script or Associate Test Motivator File, only the Rational ClearQuest Test Manager file locations are displayed for selection.
