To enable the integration with HP Quality center 12.0,
you must deploy the Rational®
Integration Tester additional files to the ALM
12.0 Server.
Before you begin
- Log in as an administrator on the Application Lifecycle Management
server to update the files.
Note: Before you migrate the projects that contain
Rational
Integration Tester integration tests from one version of Quality Center
to another, you must set up the ALM server to enable the integration
with Rational
Integration Tester.
About this task
The Rational
Integration Tester plug-in files must be added to
the ALM application archive file, qcbin.war, that
is by default available in the C:\ProgramData\HP\ALM\webapps.
Procedure
- Shut down the HP Application Lifecycle Management
Server.
- Locate the Rational
Integration Tester install files
and extract it to a temporary location on the server.
For
setting up HP ALM 12.0 server, extract the QualityCenterServerDist11_5.zip file.
- Locate the qcbin.war file
in the ALM Deployment Directory/webapps.
On Windows 2003
Server, the default location is C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\HP\ALM. On Windows 2008 Server, the default location
is C:\ProgramData\HP\ALM\webapps.
- If they do not exist, create the following
folders in qcbin.war.
- CustomTestTypes
- Extensions
- Copy the following files from the Integration
Tester installation files to the qcbin.war file.
Table 1. File location and destination for deployment| Source |
Destination |
|---|
- GHTesterQCIntegration\CustomTestTypes\GH-Tester.ini
- GHTesterQCIntegration\Extensions\*
- GHTesterQCIntegration\HP\ALM\repository\sa\DomsInfo\Metadata\TEST\GH-Tester.xml
|
- ALM Deployment Directory\webapps\qcbin.war\CustomTestTypes
- ALM Deployment Directory\webapps\qcbin.war\Extensions
- C:\Program Files\HP\HP Application Lifecycle Management
Platform\data\sa\DomsInfo\Metadata\TEST
|
Note: The GH-Tester.xml file is required
for Rational
Integration Tester tests to have version control support in HP
Quality Center. The above destination example is when HP ALM server
is installed in C:\Program Files. The GH-Tester.xml file
cannot be copied into the deployment folder, for example, C:\ProgramData because
the file is deleted by HP Quality Center during redeployment. When
placed in the installation folder, the GH-Tester.xml file
is propagated to the deployment folder automatically by the HP ALM
server.
- Stop the Application Lifecycle Management
server and then start the server.
- After ALM is started, log in to Site Administrator
as a user with administrator privileges.
- On the Tools menu,
click Update Test Types and click Yes to
confirm (the update can take several minutes).
