Installing or Upgrading to Rational Performance Tester
ITCAM for Transactions 7.4 supports the Rational Performance Tester 8.3 and Rational Performance Tester 8.6 (32 bit).
- If you are upgrading Rational Performance Tester to version 8.3 or version 8.6, export your existing Rational Performance Tester scripts so they can be later imported into Rational Performance Tester version 8.3 or version 8.6. When you do this task, be sure to select the option, Test Assets with Dependencies. See Copying test assets with dependencies for more information.
- ITCAM for Transactions 7.4 currently only supports the Rational Performance Tester 8.3 and 8.6 (32 bit). If you have installed the Rational Performance Tester 8.3 64 bit architecture, remove this installation and then install the 32 bit version. Verify the architecture through IBM Installation Manager. Click on Update and select IBM Software Delivery Platform, the architecture value is displayed.
