Question & Answer


Question

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

Answer


Prepare the environment

  • Install RFT and the ITCAM plugin.
    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.

Beginning with the RFT workbench
Start with Rational Functional Tester workbench and connect to an existing project, or create a new project for your new script.
  • Connect to an existing project


  • Create a new project.




Begin creating a new recorded script
  • Right click on the project name and select "Add Script Using Recorder".


  • Choose a name for the new script and select Finish.



Recording the script
  • Recording the script begins with the Recording window.


  • Choose an application. This is the object of the recording.


  • Use the application. Remember this application runs several times after the script is saved, exported and scheduled for played back.




  • When the intended functions have been recorded, be sure to close the application before ending the recording.


Stop the recording
  • Use the stop button in the recording window when the intended functions complete recording.


  • When the script stops, the recording window closes, and you are returned to the RFT workbench.


Test the recording
  • While the script is playing back, do not use the keyboard or mouse.
  • Allow the recording to playback without any interaction from you.
  • The display must be unlocked and unencumbered for playback.
  • Select the script name from the project list, right click on the name, and select "Run".


  • You may be asked to select a log name. Select "Finish".


  • Ensure the playback is successful and executes all the functions properly.


  • Note any errors and resolve.


Export the recording
  • Right click on the script name from the project and select "Export".


  • Choose "Other -> ITCAM for Transactions".


  • Provide the AMC host name.


  • Select the project and the script to export.




  • Wait for the successful upload.

When this process is complete, the RFT script is available in the AMC Editor.
