To test Siebel applications,
the Siebel Test Automation and the Microsoft C++ runtime libraries must be installed on the workbench
computer.
About this task
Note: Siebel applications run only on Windows, therefore Siebel tests run only
on Windows. Do not add a
Siebel test to a schedule that you deploy to run on operating systems
other than Windows.
Procedure
To install the prerequisites for testing Siebel applications:
- Obtain the Siebel Test Automation library, ssdtcorr.dll, from Siebel.
- Copy the ssdtcorr.dll file to the workbench
computer in this path: ...\ibm\sdp\rpt\external_files\deployable\siebel\, where ...\ibm\sdp\rpt\ is the product installation
directory.
If the Siebel Test Automation library is
not installed, Siebel tests will fail, and a warning message will
display when you edit a Siebel test. After the library is installed
on the workbench computer, it is automatically deployed as needed
to any remote location. The library must be on any computer that runs
a Siebel test.
You can use the rptExternal variable in the config.ini file to control
where external files must be installed. By default, the rptExternal variable is set to the product installation directory. Edit the rptExternal variable if you want to install the .dll files
to a different location.
For example, if you set
the rptExternal variable to e\:\\ibm\\sdp\\rpt then you would install the Siebel Test Automation library in e:\ibm\sdp\rpt\external_files\deployable\siebel\. Note
that you must use an extra backslash before the colon and backslashes
in the path.
- Copy the Microsoft C++ runtime library, msvcr70.dll, to the workbench
computer in the same directory as the ssdtcorr.dll file. (If necessary, obtain the msvcr70.dll file
from the Microsoft web
site.) The file name is case-sensitive, and must be all lower-case.
The file must be named msvcr70.dll, not MSVCR70.DLL. Once installed in the correct directory on the workbench
computer, the Microsoft C++ runtime library is automatically deployed as needed to any remote
location.
