Before you can use test resources from a shared network
location, an administrator must make the resources available to Rational® Quality Manager.
Before you begin
For Windows® servers, Rational Quality Manager must
be able to access the shared resource using the UNC naming convention.
For example, if the test resources are stored on a server in the C:\MyRemoteAssets directory,
an administrator must map a UNC path, such as \\9.27.150.168\RemoteTestAssets or \\OurTestServer\RemoteTestAssets to
those test resources.
For Linux®, AIX®, and Solaris servers, Rational Quality Manager must
be able to access the shared resource using an appropriate pathname.
The shared resource locations can be pre-mounted or can be configured
to auto-mount when used.
In addition, the user must be able
to access these resources without having to supply a password.
