Configuring the RQM Agent as a Windows service

If you have installed only IBM® DevOps Test Integrations and APIs (Test Integrations and APIs), you might want to set up the RQM Agent as a Windows service.

You have configured the Agent.config file in Test Integrations and APIs as an adapter for IBM Rational® Quality Manager.
You can configure the RQM Agent that is included with Test Integrations and APIs as a Windows service.
  1. Run a command prompt as an administrator from the Test Integrations and APIs installation folder. Install the RQM Agent as a Windows service: 
    
prunsrv //IS//IBMRITRQMAgent --DisplayName="IBM RIT RQM Agent" --Description="IBM Rational Integration Tester RQM Agent" --Startup=auto --StartImage="C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalIntegrationTester\RQMAgent.exe" --StartPath="C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalIntegrationTester" --StartParams="-c C:\Program Files\IBM\RationalIntegrationTester\config\Agent.config"

    The Java™ services are started by using the Apache Commons daemon. For more information, see Procrun Documentation.

  2. Verify that the new Windows service is installed. Open the Services applet in the Control Panel by clicking Start > (All) Programs > Administrative Tools > Services. The Windows service name is IBM RIT RQM Agent.
  3. Start the service from the Service window. You can also change other properties such as the type of startup.
  4. Optional: Delete the service if you no longer want to run the RQM Agent as a Windows service. Run a command prompt as an administrator from the Test Integrations and APIs installation folder: 
    prunsrv //DS//IBMRITRQMAgent
