Starting stubs: Rational Test Control Panel method

If you cannot use, or do not have access to IBM® Rational® Integration Tester to control stubs that have been created and published from Rational Integration Tester, use the Environments Dashboard page of IBM Rational Test Control Panel to start the stubs.

About this task

The Environments Dashboard page also enables you to perform the following tasks:

Override a stub’s tag setting.
Control a stub’s behavior configuration.
Adjust a stub’s response time.
Start scenarios, which are collections of configured stubs that can be started and stopped together.

Procedure

Log in to Rational Test Control Panel.
In the application window of Rational Test Control Panel, click the Environments icon or navigation link.
On the Environments page, click the relevant domain and environment.
Note: If you are using Rational Test Control Panel 8.5.1.1 or later and domain-level security is enabled, you can use only the domains to which you have been granted access.
Click View Dashboard.
On the Environments Dashboard page, under the Satisfied by column, click the stub Plus icon (). The Start Stub window is displayed on the Environments Dashboard page. For information on the stub controls, see Rational Test Control Panel: Start stub window
Note: If the Plus icon is unavailable, no stubs are available for the selected operation.
After selecting a stub on the Start Stub window and making the required changes to the stub, click Start stub on the window. A new row is created under the currently selected operation on the Environments Dashboard page, and Deploying is displayed under the Status column.

Results

After the stub has started, Deploying changes to Ready under the Status column, and you have the option to save the started stub as a scenario.

Note: To change the number of agents upon which one or more instances of the stub are running, but without stopping the stub, take the following steps:

Click the stub’s arrow icon ().
Click Clone on the popup menu.
Modify the agent settings on the popup window.
Click Start stub.
