Setting up HP ALM server for auto deployment of files to
the clients is a simple way to enable functionality for any client
that is accessing the server. In some organizations, however, auto
deployment is not a feasible scenario (for example, if security policies
prohibit clients from having local admin privileges). In such cases,
clients that require the integrated functionality can have the plug-in
files deployed manually. In this way, the plug-in files can be targeted
to only the clients that require them, rather than all HP Quality
Center users.
About this task
To deploy the required files to a HP Quality
Center client:
Procedure
- Deploy the IBM® Rational® Integration Tester installation
file IntegrationTester.ini to the HP ALM server.
- Extract the QualityCenterServerDist11.zip (for
HP Quality Center 11.0) file or QualityCenterServerDist11_5.zip (for
HP Quality Center 11.5 and 12.0) to a temporary location.
- Copy the IntegrationTester.ini from the GHTesterQC11Integration\CustomTestTypes to
the ALM Deployment Directory\application\20qcbin.war\CustomTestTypes
- Log in to the HP Quality Center using a browser and verify
that you have all the required files in the client workstation.
- Log out from the HP Quality Center and locate the HP ALM-Client
folder. By default, the location is C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\HP\ALM-Client\server_name ,
where the user_name is your operating system user
name and the server_name is the name of the HP
Quality Center server to which the client is connected to.
- Extract the contents of QualityCenterServerDist11-client-only.zip or QualityCenterServerDist11_5-client-only.zip to
the ALM-Client folder.
- Open the command prompt, change the directory to ALM-Client and
run the script RITIntegrationSetup.cmd. Each
of the required components are registered in the client workstation.
