Running the adapter
To use Engineering Test Management with HCL DevOps Test Embedded Studio (Test Embedded Studio) or HCL DevOps Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE (Test Embedded for Eclipse IDE), the Test Embedded adapter must be running on the computer.
Before you begin
As an RQM or ETM user, you must have write access to a valid RQM Public URL and project, and the appropriate RQM CALs.
Before running the adapter, ensure that both the PATH and JAVA_HOME environment variables are properly set to the correct location of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later.
From Test Embedded 9.0.0, Engineering Test Management 7.0.2 must be used.
Procedure
To start the Test Embedded
and Engineering Test Management
adapters, follow these steps:
- Run the command prompt as an administrator user on Windows. On Linux open the command shell and enter sudo to have root rights.
-
Start the Engineering Test Management adapter service with the following command, located in the
\RQMAdapter\TestRTadapter folder of the product installation
directory:
- On Windows™, enter the following command:
startTestRTAdapter.bat
C:\Program Files\HCL\DevOpsTestEmbedded\RQMAdapter\TestRTAdapter\"startTestRTAdapter.bat"
- On UNIX™, enter
startTestRTAdapter.sh
sudo startTestRTadapter.sh
Note: The adapter requires access to a writable temporary directory. The %TEMP% variable is used to access to the default directory. If the adapter encounters permission problems with the default settings, add the following option to the command to specify a writable directory: -tempDir=temp_directory. For example: startTestRTAdapter.bat -tempDir=C:\temp. - On Windows™, enter the following command:
startTestRTAdapter.bat
-
If you run the adapter for the first time, you must configure the adapter in the
command window when prompted as follows:
The adapter only asks these questions the first time it is run. If you need to change the server URL or login information, run the adapter with the -reconfigure option as follows:
- On Windows,
enter:
C:\Program Files\HCL\DevOpsTestEmbedded\RQMAdapter\TestRTAdapter\"startTestRTAdapter.bat" -reconfigure
- On Linux, enter:
sudo startTestRTadapter.sh -reconfigure
- On Windows,
enter:
