Starting and stopping the Engineering Test Management adapter from the command line

You can use the command-line interface to start, stop, and view activities of the Engineering Test Management adapter that you configured in HCL OneTest™ Performance.

Before you begin

You must have performed the following tasks:

Configured the adapter in HCL OneTest™ Performance. See Configuring the Engineering Test Management adapter.
Configured the workspace directory of the adapter. See Configuring the workspace directory of the adapter.

About this task

When you run test assets from the command-line interface, the adapter activities are printed to the adapter.log file that can be accessed from product_install_dir\HOT-PERF_RQMAdapter\logs.

To print the current status of the adapter, you must navigate to the product_install_dir\HOT-PERF_RQMAdapter\bin directory, and then you can run the RQMAdapter.bat STATUS command.

Where, product_install_dir is the installation directory of HCL OneTest™ Performance.

Warning: You must not use HCL OneTest™ Performance while the adapter is running. You must stop the adapter before you open HCL OneTest™ Performance for any reason.

Procedure

Open a command-line interface.
Navigate to the product_install_dir\HOT-PERF_RQMAdapter\bin\ directory.

Perform the following step either to start or stop the adapter:

Run the following command to start the adapter from the command line:

Operating system	Command to be run
Windows™	RQMAdapter.bat START
Linux™	RQMAdapter.sh START

Run the following command to stop the adapter from the command line:

Operating system	Command to be run
Windows™	RQMAdapter.bat STOP
Linux™	RQMAdapter.sh STOP

Results

You have started or stopped the Engineering Test Management adapter from the command-line interface.
