With Rational Quality Manager, you can create test scripts that refer to automated tests that were created with other test tools. These automated tests can be saved on local test machines or on shared network locations. Tests that are saved on shared network locations are accessed via Universal Naming Convention (UNC) shares.
By default, when WebSphere Application Server runs as a Windows® service, it logs in as a local system account. In this case, it is possible that Rational Quality Manager will be unable to access UNC shares because the local system account lacks security credentials. Therefore, be sure to set the WebSphere Application Server Windows service to log in as a specific user account with security credentials. This allows the service to connect to any UNC shares that match the security credentials of that user account.
