Setting up Rational Integration Tester
After installing Rational® Integration Tester, you must set up the results database, configure the libraries to enable testing the SUT based on certain technologies and also set up the required proxies for enabling testing.
- Installed directories
When you install Rational Integration Tester, the following directories are created and populated under the installation directory. - User file storage
Rational Integration Tester projects store user files, and can be created in any location to which a user has access. However, using a remote or network location can reduce Rational Integration Tester’s performance significantly, so it is recommended that Rational Integration Tester is installed on a local drive. - Configuring the project results database
Historical test data and performance results from agents and probes are stored in the Rational Integration Tester project results database. It is difficult to estimate the space that is required as the number and type of tests to be run varies. For example, lengthy performance tests can generate large amounts of data. When you create the project results database, 50GB is probably a good starting point. - Rational Integration Tester tool packages
To enable Rational Integration Tester to work with certain technologies, you must configure the required libraries by using the Library Manager and also install and configure Rational Integration Tester tool packages that are provided with Rational Test Control Panel. - Working with the Library Manager
Rational Integration Tester uses a plug-in architecture to provide support for various middleware and messaging technologies, so the list of third-party products with which it interacts can become large. You can manage this list by using Library Manager. When support for a new architecture or messaging plug-in is required, you use Library Manager to add that support. - HTTP/TCP proxy setup
The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application. - Setting up the JDBC proxy
After you install the JDBC proxy, you must deploy the proxy into the Java virtual machine (JVM) of the relevant applications, set up the proxy for use, and verify that it is deployed.
