The following variables are located in the installrpt or installrpt-linux environment
files provided in the samples for automating the installation of IBM® Rational® Performance Tester and IBM Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality with IBM Rational Quality Manager and Rational Test Lab Manager.
You can modify these variables in the Rational Build Forge management
console.
- Variable Name: im-install-dir
- Default: C:\Program Files\Installation Manager\eclipse\
- Expected Change: No
- Description: The location where the Installation
Manager is
installed. It is expected you will have automation to install Installation
Manager before
running these scripts. The path must end with the operation system
path separator (/ or \).
- Variable Name: rpt-response-dir
- Default: FILEROOT\RPT\81\
- Expected Change: No
- Description: The location off of source-server BF_ROOT where
the Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality response
and configuration files should be staged. If the BF_ROOT of
source-server is C:\Builds, then create a directory C:\Builds\
FILEROOT\RPT\81\ and place all the Build Forge® assets
there. This will be used as the repository for other Build Forge agents.
- Variable Name: rqm-config
- Default: rqmadapter.ini
- Expected Change: No
- Staging Required.
- Description: The name of the file in rpt-response-dir which
is the Rational Quality Manager connection
file. The Rational Quality Manager connection
file can be created in Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality and
is located at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\IBM\RQMConnectivity in Windows® XP. Users should customize this
file and stage it in rpt-response-dir.
- Variable Name: rqm-config-ws
- Default: adapter.config.windows or adapter.config.linux
- Expected Change: No
- Description: The name of the file in rpt-response-dir which
is the Rational Quality Manager configuration
file for Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality.
It contains the adapter workspace, project area, and adapter name.
The Rational Quality Manager configuration
file can be created in Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality and
is located at C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\config.
You should customize this file and stage it in rpt-response-dir.
- Variable Name: CONFIG_LICENSE_SERVER
- Default: N
- Expected Change: Yes
- Possible Values: Y or N
- See: rqm-config, library Configure
RQM
- Description: This variable is used to decide whether the Rational Quality Manager connection
configuration file is automatically configured after the install.
The variable rqm-config will be the Rational Quality Manager connection
configuration file.
- Variable Name: CONFIG_RQM_WS
- Default: N
- Expected Change: Yes
- Possible Values: Y or N
- See: rqm-config, library Configure
RQM
- Description: This variable is used to decide if the Rational Quality Manager adapter
configuration file is automatically configured after the install.
The variable rqm-config-ws will be the RQM adapter
configuration file for Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality.
- Variable Name: START_RQM_SERVICE
- Default: N
- Expected Change: Yes
- Possible Values: Y or N
- See: rqm-config, library Start RQM
Service
- Description: This variable is used to decide whether the Rational Quality Manager adapter Windows service is automatically
started after the install. On Linux® the
adapter is started in the background and is not automatically started
after a reboot.
- Variable Name: LICENSE_SERVER_INPUT
- Default: PortAtHost:2700…52;192.168.1.1;
- Expected Change: Yes
- See: CONFIG_LICENSE_SERVER
- Description: If CONFIG_LICENSE_SERVER is set
to Y, then this variable will be the input to the Rational License Key Administrator. This
input specifies which license servers to use. See the License Key
documentation for possible formats of this value.
- Variable Name: rqm-adapter-dir
- Default: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\
- Expected Change: No
- Sync with Response File: Yes
- Description: This is the location of the Rational Quality Manager adapter.
This location must be in sync with the response files as it is dependent
on where you install Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality.
- Variable Name: licadmin-exe
- Default: Program Files\Installation Manager\eclipse
- Expected Change: No
- Sync with Response File: Yes
- Description: This is the location of the Rational License Key Administrator. If Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality is
installed on D: then the license key will install
to D:. On Linux this
variable is the name of the Rational common
licensing configuration file name. The default is $HOME/.flexlmrc.
$HOME can not be used in the variable licadmin-exe,
therefore it must point to the physical file. For example, if root is
the user expected to run Rational Performance Tester or Rational Service Tester for
SOA Quality: /root/.flexlmrc.
