In Rational®
Integration Tester, tests and stubs reference the logical
resources in a project, so you must create at least one logical TCP
connection for each TCP transport that you want to use.
Before you begin
Ensure that there is at least one environment in your project.
If there are no environments, you must create one.
Procedure
- Open the Logical View of the Architecture School perspective.
- On the toolbar of the Logical View, click .
The New TCP Connection window
is displayed.
- In the Name field, enter a name
for the connection.
- Click OK.
The New
TCP Connection window is closed and the new logical TCP
connection is displayed in the canvas of the Logical View.
- When a logical connection is created, a new physical resource
is also created and bound in this environment. To view or edit this
physical resource, right-click the new connection and click Physical
Resource.
- Double-click the new logical TCP connection.
The TCP
Connection window is displayed.
Alternatively, right-click
the logical TCP connection and click Open in
the pop-up menu.
- If you want to associate the new logical TCP connection
with a different logical resource, complete the following tasks:
- Click Parent.
The Select
a Resource window is displayed.
- Under Logical, select a different
parent resource.
- Click OK.
The Resource
Path field on the Properties tab
of the TCP Connection window displays the updated
resource path information.
- Optional: Click the Bindings tab.
Alternatively, click in the menu
bar to open the Environment Editor window and
click the Bindings tab to modify the bindings
of the selected environment.
- Optional: If you did not bind the TCP connection
to a physical TCP server resource, UNBOUND is
displayed under Binding. To bind the TCP connection,
complete the following tasks:
- Clicking UNBOUND displays a list
of all physical TCP server resources in your project.
- Select a physical TCP server resource. If there are
no physical TCP server resources displayed, you must create one.
- Optional: To add a log file for the new logical
TCP connection, click the Monitoring tab. The
log file can be monitored during the execution of a test that involves
the new logical TCP connection.
- Optional: To enter additional information about
the new logical TCP connection, click the Documentation tab.
Although this additional information is optional , it might help with
the maintenance of the resources in the project or help future users
of the project.
- Click OK.
Results
The new logical TCP connection is added to the project.
