About Rational Manual Tester

IBM Rational Manual Tester provides a simple yet powerful end-to-end solution for teams who are looking for an easy way to add automation to their scripts. It allows non-technical users to develop keyword-driven manual tests that can easily be automated, without the need for programming or scripting experience. It supports test authoring and running of tests, with an easy transition between the two processes. While you run a test, it tracks test results automatically, producing test logs that you can export to a spreadsheet application for further analysis. Manual Tester is now fully integrated with IBM Rational ClearQuest^(R), so if you have ClearQuest installed, you can submit, update, and track defects as you author and test using manual test scripts. If you use CQTM, you can create and execute test suites (which may include manual tests) from within Manual Tester.

Planning to install

Installation scenarios

The following are some of the factors that might determine your installation scenario:

• The format and method by which you access your installation files (for example, from CDs or files downloaded from IBM Passport Advantage^(R)).
• The location for your installation (for example, you can install the product onto your own workstation, or make the installation files available to your enterprise.).
• The type of installation (for example, you can use the Installation Manager GUI, or install silently.).

These are the typical installation scenarios you might follow:

• Installing from the CDs.
• Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation.
• Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive.
• Installing from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server.

Note also that you can install updates at the same time that you install the base product package.

Installing from CDs

In this installation scenario, you have the CDs that contain the product package files, and typically you are installing Rational Manual Tester on your own workstation. See Installing Rational Manual Tester from CDs: task overview for an overview of the steps.

Installing from a downloaded electronic image on your workstation

In this scenario, you have downloaded the installation files from IBM Passport Advantage and you will install Rational Manual Tester on your own workstation. See Installing Rational Manual Tester from an electronic image on your workstation: task overview for an overview of the steps.

Installing from an electronic image on a shared drive

In this scenario, you will place the electronic image on a shared drive so that users in your enterprise can access the installation files for Rational Manual Tester from a single location. See Installing Rational Manual Tester from an electronic image on a shared drive: task overview for an overview of the steps.

Installing from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server

This scenario is the fastest method for installing the product on a network and is different from the shared-drive installation. To place product package files for Rational Manual Tester on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server, you must use IBM Packaging Utility, a utility application, to copy the installation files in a package format that you can use to install Rational Manual Tester directly from an HTTP or HTTPS Web server. This utility is provided with Rational Manual Tester. The directory on the HTTP or HTTPS Web server that contains the package is called a repository. Note that any optional software included with the Rational Manual Tester installation CDs are not placed in the package; only the Rational Manual Tester installation files are placed in the package. See Installing Rational Manual Tester from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server: task overview and Placing Rational Manual Tester on an HTTP Web server: task overview for an overview of the steps.

Upgrading from previous versions of Manual Tester

If you decide to keep version 6.1.x installed while you upgrade, simply install version 7.x using the default installation settings. Note that version 7.x will use the reuse and customizations files that you created using version 6.1.x. If you do not want to use these files, you can change them in the Main page of the Preferences dialog box after installation. (Refer to the online help for additional information.)

You can move your existing manual test scripts to manual test projects, or, if you are not project-based, to any directory that you choose. To simply migrate a script from a previous version of Manual Tester without creating a project, open the script in the current version and click Yes when prompted. After you migrate the script, you cannot open it in the older version. To take advantage of features such as keywords and datapools, you must move to a project-based script storage model.

You can include some or all of your existing scripts when you create a new project or add them after the project is created. Shared reuse statements are designated as keywords and maintained in a keyword library within the project rather than in randomly located scripts. Before migrating scripts with reuse statements, it is best to assign the statements an explicit Name property. Otherwise, the first 32 characters of the reuse statement is used as the keyword name.

If you need to maintain the older versions of your test scripts, be sure to save the new versions in a different location.

Once you install version 7.x and migrate your scripts, we recommend uninstalling version 6.1.x. Although it is technically possible, we do not recommend using both versions concurrently on the same computer.

Installation repositories

If the launchpad is used to start Installation Manager, the repository information is passed to Installation Manager. If the Installation Manager is started directly, you must specify an installation repository that contains the product packages that you want to install. See Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager.

Some organizations bundle and host their own product packages on their intranet. For information about this type of installation scenario, see Installing from a repository on an HTTP or HTTPS Web server. Your system administrators will need to provide you with the correct URL.

By default, IBM Installation Manager uses an embedded URL in each Rational software development product to connect to a repository server over the Internet. Installation Manager then searches for the product packages as well as new features.

Setting repository preferences in Installation Manager

To add, edit, or remove a repository location in Installation Manager:

1. Start Installation Manager.
2. On the Start page of Installation Manager, click File -> Preferences, and then click Repositories. The Repositories page opens, showing any available repositories, their locations, and whether they are accessible.
3. On the Repositories page, click Add Repository.
4. In the Add repository window, type the URL of the repository location or browse to it and set a file path.
5. Click OK. If you provided an HTTPS or restricted FTP repository location, then you will be prompted to enter a user ID and password. The new or changed repository location is listed. If the repository is not accessible, a red x is displayed in the Accessible column.
6. Click OK to exit.

Package groups and the shared resource directory

Package groups

During the installation process, you must specify a new package group for the Rational Manual Tester package, or you can use the default.

A package group is assigned a name automatically; however, you choose the installation directory for the package group.

After you create the package group by successfully installing a product package, you cannot change the installation directory. The installation directory contains files and resources specific to the Rational Manual Tester product package installed into that package group. Resources in the product package that can potentially be used by other package groups are placed in the shared resources directory.

Shared resources directory

The shared resources directory is the directory where installation artifacts are located so that they can be used by one or more product package groups.

Installing silently

Running Installation Manager in silent mode is helpful because it enables you to use a batch process to install, update, modify and uninstall product packages through scripts.

Note that you must install Installation Manager before you can silently install the Rational Manual Tester package. Refer to Managing IBM Installation Manager for details on installing Installation Manager.

There are two main tasks required for silent installation:

1. Create the response file.
2. Run Installation Manager in silent installation mode.

Creating a response file with Installation Manager

To record a response file for installation (or uninstallation):

1. On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager. For example:
   • cd C:\Program Files\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse
2. On a command line, type the following command to start the Installation Manager, substituting your own file name and location for the response file and (optionally) the log file:
   • IBMIM -record <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>. For example, IBMIM.exe -record c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\record_log.xml
   • You can record a response file without installing or uninstalling a product by adding the optional -skipInstall <agentDataLocation> argument. Note that <agentDataLocation> must be a writable directory. The argument causes the Installation Manager to save the installation data without installing the product. You can use the same <agentDataLocation> in the next recording session to record updates or modifications to the product, or to record license management. Note that the products installed or preferences, including repository settings, that you may have set on install when not using the -skipInstall argument are not be stored. Using -skipInstall will make installation faster because the IM is not installing the product, it is just recording the installation data.

     The syntax for using the skipInstall argument is: IBMIM -record <response file path and name> -skipInstall <a writable directory for agent data location>. For example IBMIM -record c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -skipInstall c:\temp\recordData

   Note:
   Ensure the file paths you enter exist; Installation Manager will not create directories for the response file and the log file.
3. Follow the instructions in the Install Packages wizard to make your installation choices. For details, see Installing Rational Manual Tester by using the Installation Manager GUI.
4. Click Finish, then close Installation Manager.

An XML response file is created and resides in the location specified in the command.

Recording a response file with the Installation Manager installer

To record the installation of Installation Manager, follow these steps:

1. Unzip the Installation Manager, then go to the InstallerImage_platform directory.
2. To start recording, enter install -record <response file path and name> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation> -vmargs -Dcom.ibm.cic.agent.hidden=false

Recording a product install with the installer

To start recording a product install with the Installation Manager installer, follow these steps:

1. Go to the InstallerImage_platform directory in location where you unzipped the Installation Manager.
2. Open the install.ini file by removing the following lines: -input and @osgi.install.area/install.xml
3. Enter the following command: install -record <response file path and name> -skipInstall <agentDataLocation>, for example: install -record
4. Start the Installation Manager and complete the Install Packages wizard.

Installing and running Installation Manager in silent mode

Refer to the Installation Manager Web site for additional documentation on how to run it in silent mode. For example, silently installing from a repository that requires authentication (user ID and password).

The following table describes the arguments used with the silent installation command:

-nosplash

--launcher.suppressErrors

-input

-log

Both the Installation Manager installer and the Installation Manager have an initialization or .ini file silent-install.ini that includes default values for the arguments in the table.

The Installation Manager installer is used to install the Installation Manager. Follow these steps to install the Installation Manager silently.

To install Installation Manager silently, unzip the installer and switch to the eclipse subdirectory, then use the following commands:

• installc --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -log <log file path and name> . For example: installc --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -log c:\mylogfile.xml

After Installation Manager is installed, you can use it to install other products. You can also use the Installation Manager installer to install the products.

To run Installation Manager in silent mode run the following command from the eclipse subdirectory:

• IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>. For example: IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml

If you want to silently install products using the Installation Manager installer, from the eclipse directory, enter the following command:

• installc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input <response file path and name> -log <log file path and name>. For example: installc --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input c:\mylog\responsefile.xml -log c:\mylog\silent_install_log.xml

When the Installation Manager installer, or Installation Manager runs in silent installation mode; it reads the response file and writes a log file to the directory you specified. While you must have a response file when running in silent installation mode, log files are optional. The result of this execution should be a status of 0 on success and non-zero number on failure.

Searching for and silently installing all available products

To search for and silently install all available products:

1. On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
2. Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
   • IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -installAll -log <log file path and name>

All available products known to Installation Manager are installed.

Silently installing updates to all currently installed products

To search for and silently install updates for all available products:

1. On a command line, change to the eclipse subdirectory in the directory where you installed Installation Manager.
2. Enter and run the following command, substituting your own locations for the response file and, optionally, the log file:
   • IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -updateAll -log <log file path and name>

All available product updates known to Installation Manager are installed.

Response file commands

There are two categories of commands for the response file:

• Preference commands are used to set preferences that are found in Installation Manager under File -> Preferences, such as repository location information.
• Silent installation commands are used to emulate the Install Packages wizard in Installation Manager.

Silent installation preference commands

When you define preferences in a response file, your XML code will look similar to the following example:

<preference
	name = "the key of the preference"
	value = "the value of the preference to be set">
</preference>

Use the following table to identify keys and their associated values for silent installation preferences:

Silent installation commands

id="the profile (package group) id" 
installLocation="the install location of
 the profile">
<data key="key1" value="value1"/>
<data key="key2" value="value2"/>

version= "3.2.0.20060615">
	</offering>
</install>

</agent-input>

Silent install log files

The silent installation functionality creates an XML-based log file that records the result of the silent install execution (as long as a log file path is specified using -log <your log file path>.xml). If your silent installation session is successful, the log file will contain just the root element of <result> </result>. However, if errors occur during the installation, the silent install log file will contain error elements with messages such as:

<result>
	<error> Cannot find profile: profile id</error>
	<error> some other errors</error>
</result>

For detailed analysis, you can look at the logs generated in the Installation Manager data area. By using a preference command, you can optionally set the data area to your preferred location, as shown in the response file topic.

Managing licenses

Trial licenses that came with the 7.0 and later versions of some Rational products expire 30 or 60 days after installation. You need to activate your product in order to use it after the expiration date.

Using the Manage Licenses wizard, you can upgrade trial versions of an offering to a licensed version by importing a product activation kit. You can also enable Floating license enforcement for offerings with trial or permanent licenses to use floating license keys from a license server.

For more information on managing licenses for your Rational product, see:

• The technote at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21250404 dealing with Rational product activation.
• The Rational licensing support page at http://www.ibm.com/software/rational/support/licensing/.

Licenses

Authorized User License

An IBM Rational Authorized User license permits a single, specific individual to use a Rational software product. Purchasers must obtain an Authorized User license for each individual user who accesses the product in any manner. An Authorized User license cannot be reassigned unless the purchaser replaces the original assignee on a long-term or permanent basis.

For example, if you purchase one Authorized User license, you can assign that license to one specific individual, who can then use the Rational software product. The Authorized User license does not entitle a second person to use that product at any time, even if the licensed individual is not actively using it.

Authorized User Fixed Term License

An IBM Rational Authorized User Fixed Term License (FTL) permits a single, specific individual to use a Rational software product for a specific length of time (the term). Purchasers must obtain an Authorized User FTL for each individual user who accesses the product in any manner. An Authorized User FTL cannot be reassigned unless the purchaser replaces the original assignee on a long-term or permanent basis.

If you notify IBM that you do not want to extend the license term, then you must stop using the product when the license expires.

Floating license

An IBM Rational Floating license is a license for a single software product that can be shared among multiple team members; however, the total number of concurrent users cannot exceed the number of floating licenses you purchase. For example, if you purchase one floating license for a Rational software product, then any user in your organization may use the product at any given time. Another person who wants to access the product must wait until the current user logs off.

To use floating licenses, you must obtain floating license keys and install them on a Rational License Server. The server responds to end-user requests for access to the license keys; it will grant access to the number of concurrent users that matches the number of licenses the organization purchased.

License enablement

Licenses for Rational Software Delivery Platform offerings are enabled in two ways:

• Importing a product activation kit
• Enabling Rational Common Licensing to obtain access to floating license keys

Activation kits

Product activation kits contain the permanent license key for your trial Rational product. You purchase the activation kit, download the activation kit .zip file to your local machine, and then import the activation kit .jar file to enable the license for your product. You use IBM Installation Manager to import the activation kit to your product.

Floating license enforcement

Optionally, you can obtain floating license keys, install IBM Rational License Server, and enable Floating license enforcement for your product. Floating license enforcement provides the following benefits:

• License compliance enforcement across the organization
• Fewer license purchases
• Serve license keys for IBM Rational Team Unifying and Software Delivery Platform desktop products from the same license server

For more information on obtaining activation kits and Floating licenses, see Purchasing licenses.

Viewing license information for installed packages

To view license information:

1. Start IBM Installation Manager.
2. On the main page, click Manage Licenses.

The package vendor, current license types, and expiration dates are displayed for each installed package.

Importing a product activation kit

If you have not purchased an activation kit, you must do this first. If you have purchased a product or a product activation kit, insert the appropriate CD or download the activation kit from IBM Passport Advantage to an accessible workstation. The activation kit is packaged as a .zip file containing a Java archive (.jar) file. The .jar file contains the permanent license key and must be imported to activate your product.

To import an activation kit .jar file and enable the new license key:

1. Start IBM Installation Manager.
2. On the main page, click Manage Licenses.
3. Select a package and click the Import Activation Kit button.
4. Click Next. Details for the selected package are shown, including the current license kind and the product version range of the license.
5. Browse to the path on the media CD or download location for the activation kit; then select the appropriate Java archive (JAR) file and click Open.
6. Click Next. The Summary page displays the target install directory for the activation kit, the product the new license applies to, and version information.
7. Click Finish.

The product activation kit with its permanent license key is imported to the product. The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the import is successful.

Enabling floating licenses

Before enabling Floating license enforcement, you must obtain the license server connection information from your administrator. For details on license server, license key, and Rational Common Licensing administration, see the IBM Rational License Management Guide.

You can find the most recent version of the License Management Guide online at: http://download.boulder.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/v7/rcl/701/docs/install_instruction/install.html

To enable floating licenses as the license type for specified packages and configure license server connections:

1. In the IBM Installation Manager for the Rational Software Delivery Platform, click File -> Open -> Manage Licenses.
2. Select a version of a package and then select the Configure Floating license support button.
3. Click Next.
4. Click the Enable Floating license enforcement button.
5. Configure one or more license server connections.
   1. Click an empty field in the Servers table or click the Add button.
   2. If your administrator provided you with information for a redundant server environment, click the Redundant Server button. Fields for the primary, secondary, and tertiary server names and ports appear.
   3. Enter the host name of the license server in the Name field.
   4. (Optional) Enter a value in the Port field for environments where a firewall is used. Do not assign a value to this port unless your administrator instructs you to do so.
   5. For redundant server environments, enter the names and ports (if required) for the secondary and tertiary servers.
   6. (Optional) You can click the Test Connection button to confirm that the connection information is correct and that the server is available.
   7. Click OK.
6. Click Next.
7. (Optional) Configure the license usage order for your shell shared or custom packages. The order of licenses in the list determines the order in which your package attempts to obtain access to license keys for a given licensed package.
8. Click Finish.

The Manage Licenses wizard indicates whether the floating licenses configuration is successful.

Now, when you next open the enabled product, a connection is created to the license server to obtain a license key from the pool of available floating license keys.

Purchasing licenses

To purchase licenses and enable your product, complete the following steps:

1. Determine the type of license you want to purchase.
2. Go to ibm.com^(R) or contact your IBM sales representative to purchase the product license. For details, visit the IBM Web page on How to buy software.
3. Depending on the type of license you purchase, use the Proof of Entitlement you receive and do one of the following to enable your product:
   • If you purchase Authorized User licenses for your product, go to Passport Advantage and follow the instructions there for downloading your product activation kit .zip file. Once you have downloaded the activation kit, you must import the product activation .jar file using Installation Manager.
   • If you purchase Floating licenses for your product, click the link to the IBM Rational Licensing and Download site, login (IBM registration is required), and then select the link to connect to the IBM Rational License Key Center. There you can use your Proof of Entitlement to obtain floating license keys for your license server.

     Optionally, you can also go to Passport Advantage to download the activation kit for your product. After importing the activation kit, you have the option of switching from a floating to a permanent license type if you use your computer offline for long periods.

When you want to import the activation kit or enable floating license support for your product, use the Manage Licenses wizard in IBM Installation Manager.
