Prerequisites for Siebel testing

To test Siebel applications, the Siebel Test Automation and the Microsoft C++ runtime libraries must be installed on the workbench computer.

About this task

Note: Siebel applications run only on Windows, therefore Siebel tests run only on Windows. Do not add a Siebel test to a schedule that you deploy to run on operating systems other than Windows.
Note: Rational® Performance Tester 64-bit workbench does not support testing Siebel applications.

Procedure

To install the prerequisites for testing Siebel applications:

  1. Obtain the Siebel Test Automation library, ssdtcorr.dll, from Siebel.
  2. Copy the ssdtcorr.dll file to the workbench computer in this path: ...\ibm\sdp\rpt\external_files\deployable\siebel\, where ...\ibm\sdp\rpt\ is the product installation directory.

    If the Siebel Test Automation library is not installed, Siebel tests will fail, and a warning message will display when you edit a Siebel test. After the library is installed on the workbench computer, it is automatically deployed as needed to any remote location. The library must be on any computer that runs a Siebel test.

    You can use the rptExternal variable in the config.ini file to control where external files must be installed. By default, the rptExternal variable is set to the product installation directory. Edit the rptExternal variable if you want to install the .dll files to a different location.

    For example, if you set the rptExternal variable to e\:\\ibm\\sdp\\rpt then you would install the Siebel Test Automation library in e:\ibm\sdp\rpt\external_files\deployable\siebel\. Note that you must use an extra backslash before the colon and backslashes in the path.
  3. Copy the Microsoft C++ runtime library, msvcr70.dll, to the workbench computer in the same directory as the ssdtcorr.dll file. (If necessary, obtain the msvcr70.dll file from the Microsoft web site.) The file name is case-sensitive, and must be all lower-case. The file must be named msvcr70.dll, not MSVCR70.DLL. Once installed in the correct directory on the workbench computer, the Microsoft C++ runtime library is automatically deployed as needed to any remote location.
