Integration is implemented through
the use of an adapter.
The adapter is installed by default when you install IBM® Rational® Performance Tester.
After the installation, you must configure and run the adapter.
The adapter
can be run in three modes:
- In GUI
mode, from within the test workbench itself
- From the command
line
- As a Windows® service
Further
details can be found in the Rational Performance Tester Information
Center.
Known limitations
- When
shell sharing Rational Performance Tester and Rational Service
Tester, the adapter registers itself as a Rational Performance Tester adapter.
To register as a Rational Service Tester adapter, Rational Service
Tester must be installed as it's own software package.
- Running
tests from Rational Quality Manager with
encrypted data pools is not supported. Password prompting when using
such a datapool is not done in the adapter service or in the command-line
mode. This is also discouraged in the GUI mode, because it requires
user interaction with Rational Performance Tester for
a run initiated from the Rational Quality Manager Web
user interface.
- Only one adapter per product installation
on a given computer
should be started. Using multiple adapters on the same computer requires
that you install each product as its own software package in it's
own directory. If you are running multiple adapters on the same computer,
ensure that they are using different workspaces.
