About creating file locations

Many test assets have references to external resources. External resources are either located on a common shared volume or made shareable through Rational ClearCase, a configuration management system. To reference any external resource (a test motivator file or test script) from Rational ClearQuest Test Manager records, you must create a file location to define where the test assets reside.

Typically, the administrator creates the file locations for a site. If Rational Functional Tester, Rational Performance Tester, or Eclipse Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP) tools are used, the file location is also associated with an Eclipse project.

Creating a file location is a two-step procedure. First, an asset registry record must be created. Next, you create a file location in the Test Manager view of a Rational ClearQuest® Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse.
