Configuring Rational AppScan Tester Edition Adapter

To run Test Execution Records containing AppScan Tester Edition Test Scripts, you must configure an adapter to pass execution information from Rational® Quality Manager to AppScan Tester Edition and vice versa. All external test tools use this method to accept requests to run, and to deliver results back to Rational Quality Manager. For AppScan Tester Edition, the adapter is located on the Rational Quality Manager server itself.
Ensure that Rational Quality Manager server is started and that communication with the AppScan server has been established before continuing.
  1. Log on to the server hosting Rational Quality Manager.
  2. Run the Adapter Setup. This can be launched from the Start Menu (IBM® Rational Quality Manger > IBM Rational AppScan Tester Edition Adapter > Setup IBM Rational AppScan Tester Edition Adapter). This utility will prompt you for connection information, such as the location of Rational Quality Manager, and the account under which the adapter will run. The utility only needs to be run once. It will save an encrypted file containing connection information and used in subsequent launches of the adapter.
  3. Once the Adapter setup has completed successfully, launch the adapter from the Start Menu (IBM Rational Quality Manger > IBM Rational AppScan Tester Edition Adapter > Start IBM Rational AppScan Tester Edition Adapter).
  4. When the adapter has started successfully, test scripts can be executed from within Rational Quality Manager.
  5. To stop the adapter, launch the Stop item from the Start Menu (IBM Rational Quality Manger > IBM Rational AppScan Tester Edition Adapter > Stop IBM Rational AppScan Tester Edition Adapter).
