Lesson 1.3: Install sample data

After you set up your sample team and users, you are ready to install the sample data. The sample data is essential to the tutorial because the tutorial begins with a partially completed test plan.
Using the sample data will decrease the time that it takes for you to complete the tutorial because completed forms of test requirements, test cases, and test scripts are available to you. You can also choose to create these test artifacts from the beginning; however, at minimum, you need the sample test plan.
Note: If another user completed this tutorial and altered the sample data, you can follow the below steps to reinstall a clean set of sample data.

To install the sample data:

  1. If the server is not running, start the server:
    1. In Windows®, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    2. In Linux®, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > Start IBM Rational Quality Manager Server.
    Note: The server is running when the message, INFO: Server startup, displays in the server log window.
  2. When the server is running, open Rational® Quality Manager in a browser:
    1. In Windows, click Start > All Programs > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
    2. In Linux, click Applications > IBM Rational Quality Manager > IBM Rational Quality Manager.
  3. Log in as the administrator (Userid: ADMIN, Password: ADMIN) when prompted with the login dialog box.
    Note: If you restarted the server after creating a new project area, select the project area, Quality Manager Sample, from the list and click OK.
  4. Open a command prompt, and change to the directory that contains the sample script:
    1. In Windows, go to C:\Program Files\IBM\RQM\samples\classics.
    2. In Linux, go to /opt/IBM/RQM\samples\classics.
  5. Run the installation script:
    1. In Windows, type install_samples.bat /a project /s https://localhost:9443/ /u ADMIN /p ADMIN

      where project is the name of your project area, localhost is the host name of your server, and 9443 is the port number.

      Tip: If the name of your project area contains spaces, replace them with plus signs. For instance, Quality Manager Sample is Quality+Manager+Sample.
    2. In Linux, type install_samples.sh -a project -s https://localhost:9443/ -u ADMIN -p ADMIN

      where project is the name of your project area, localhost is the host name of your server, and 9443 is the port number.

      Tip: If the name of your project area contains spaces, replace them with plus signs. For instance, Quality Manager Sample is Quality+Manager+Sample.
    Note: Installation of the sample data might take a few minutes to complete.
  6. The artifacts are created in the repository. To view the artifacts:
    Tip: If you are in the Admin page from the previous lesson, return to the administrator home page by clicking Back to Rational Quality Manager at the upper, left corner of the page.
    1. To see the test plans, point to the Planning icon (Planning), and click View Test Plans. In the View Builder window, deselect My test plans only, and click Run.
    2. To see the requirements, point to the Requirements icon (Requirements), and click All Requirements.
    3. To see the test cases, point to the Construction icon (Construction), and click View Test Cases. In the View Builder window, deselect My test cases only, and click Run.
    4. To see the test scripts, point to the Construction icon (Construction), and click View Test Scripts. In the View Builder window, deselect My test scripts only, and click Run.
      Note: If you do not see the sample data, click the Refresh icon (Refresh).
  7. Log out as administrator.
