Adding other scripting languages

You can customize Test Integrations and APIs to use other scripting languages. The language must have a .jar file that supports the Java™ Scripting API and can embed in the product.

You must have completed reading about Library Manager and the tasks that you can perform. See Working with Library Manager.

You must download the required JAR files and then add the JAR files to Library Manager. You must follow this procedure wherever the scripting engine is utilized in the Agent installation.

  1. Start Library Manager in any of the following methods:

    • In Microsoft™ Windows™, you can start Library Manager by using the Library Manager (set-up) option in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\DevOps Test API.

    • Click the LibConfig.exe file in the installation directory of Test Integrations and APIs.

      For example, the installation directory path can be C:\Program Files\IBM\DevOpsTestAPI

  2. Select Scripting Engines as the application.
  3. Click Add in the Provider panel to add the provider of the application JAR files.
  4. Enter a name in the Rename Provider dialog.
  5. Select the provider by clicking the checkbox.
  6. Click Add in the Settings panel.

    The Select Files To Add dialog is displayed.

  7. Open the folder on your computer where you downloaded the files.
  8. Select the JAR files, and then click Add Files.
    The JAR files that you added are displayed in the Resource column in the Settings panel.
    Note:
    The JAR files are installed in the directory displayed in the Installation Directory field after you click OK.
  9. Click OK to install the application JAR files and close Library Manager.
