You can run the Rational® Performance Tester adapter for Rational Quality Manager as a Windows service.
Before you begin
Before running the
Rational Quality Manager adapter, you must have configured the test workbench and
the adapter.
When you install the test workbench, you also install
the adapter as a Windows service.
By default, the service is set to start manually.
The adapter service
for Windows requires the
computer to have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later.
Note: Do not open the test workbench
in the same workspace while the adapter is running as a Windows service. Doing so might interfere
with the ability of the adapter to run test scripts. Stop the adapter
before you open the workbench in the configured workspace.
Procedure
- Open the Windows service manager.
- To start the service, right-click IBM RPT adapter
for RQM (for Rational Performance Tester) or IBM RST adapter for RQM (for Rational Service Tester), and click Start.
- To stop the service, right-click IBM RPT adapter
for RQM or IBM RST adapter for RQM, and click Stop.
What to do next
Optionally, you can configure the service to start automatically
by right-clicking the adapter listing, selecting Properties, and selecting Automatic as the startup type.
With this setting, the adapter can start automatically when the computer
restarts, without requiring a user to log in.
When running the
adapter as a service, status is printed to the rpt_install_dir\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\logs\adapter.log file. You can also print the status by navigating to the rpt_install_dir\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\bin\ directory, and entering this command: RQMAdapter.bat STATUS.
