How do you generate an RFT script to run on ITCAM for Transactions?

Prepare the environment

The latest version of the ITCAM plugin is available in the Rational Integration Support package in ITCAM 7.4 FP01 (7.4.0.0-TIV-CAMRT-FP0001) in FixCentral. - Close all applications before beginning a recording.
- Configure RFT with the application(s) needed for the recording.
- Don't use the copy paste function during the recording.
- Use the keyboard, rather than the mouse, when possible.
- Check for RFT other best practices and help content for assistance.
Start with Rational Functional Tester workbench and connect to an existing project, or create a new project for your new script.

Recording the script
