Installing HCL OneTest™ API mediator for WebSphere® Application Server Service Integration Bus

To record and virtualize SIBus destinations, you must install HCL OneTest™ API SIBus intercept mediator in WebSphere® Application Server.

About this task

HCL OneTest™ API SIBus intercept mediator package is provided with HCL® Quality Server.

Procedure

  1. Download and extract the SIBus intercept mediator package (IBMWebSphereSIBus.zip) from HCL® Quality Server into a location.
    For more information, see HCL OneTest API tool packages
  2. Install the greenhat.sibus.agent.ear file in WebSphere® Application Server. It installs as an enterprise application in two modules:
    • The mediation handler: This module can be configured as a mediation and then applied to destinations on which recording or stubbing is required.
    • The agent: This module provides the communication with HCL® Quality Server. The agent starts when the installed enterprise application is started and then the agent intercept registers itself with HCL® Quality Server.
  3. The agent uses the registration.xml file that is distributed with IBMWebSphereSIBus package. You must edit the registration.xml file to point to HCL® Quality Server. To access the registration.xml file, the agent uses a Java™ system property called com.ibm.rational.rit.registration. You must edit this property to include the path to the registration.xml file.
    1. Ensure that the server base-url setting specifies the HCL® Quality Server instance that you want to use.
    2. To specify a name for this intercept, uncomment and edit the identifier name.
      The name will be displayed for the agent under the Engines tab section on the Infrastructure Dashboard of HCL® Quality Server. Assigning a name to an intercept makes it easier to identify it when there are two or more intercepts of the same type registered with HCL® Quality Server.
    3. Set the required statistics initial state in the file.
      • Setting statistics initial-state to on will set the Observation level for this intercept in HCL® Quality Server to Statistics when the intercept first registers with HCL® Quality Server.
      • Setting statistics initial-state to off will set the Observation level for this intercept in HCL® Quality Server to None when the intercept first registers with HCL® Quality Server.
