In IBM® Rational® Integration Tester,
tests and stubs reference the logical resources in a project, so you
must create at least one logical TCP connection for each TCP transport
that you want to use.
Before you begin
Ensure that there is at least one environment in your Rational Integration Tester project.
If there are no environments, you must create one.
Procedure
- Open the Logical View of the Architecture School perspective
of Rational Integration Tester.
- On the toolbar of the Logical View, click .
The New TCP Connection window
is displayed.
- In the Name field, enter a name
for the connection.
- Click OK.
The New
TCP Connection window is closed and the new logical TCP
connection is displayed in the canvas of the Logical View.
- Optional: To bind the connection to a physical TCP server
resource in an environment, right-click the TCP connection and click or Existing TCP server in
the pop-up menu.
- Double-click the new logical TCP connection.
The TCP
Connection window is displayed.
Alternatively, right-click
the logical TCP connection and click Open in
the pop-up menu.
- If you want to associate the new logical TCP connection
with a different logical resource, complete the following tasks:
- Click Parent.
The Select
a Resource window is displayed.
- Under Logical, select a different
parent resource.
- Click OK.
The Resource
Path field on the Properties tab
of the TCP Connection window displays the updated
resource path information.
- Optional: Click the Bindings tab.
Note: As an alternative to using the Bindings tab
in the TCP Connection window, you can click in the menu bar to open the Environment Editor window
and click the Bindings tab to modify the bindings
of the selected environment.
- Optional: If you did not bind the TCP connection to a physical
TCP server resource, UNBOUND is displayed under Binding.
To bind the TCP connection, complete the following tasks:
- Clicking UNBOUND displays a list
of all physical TCP server resources in your Rational Integration Tester project.
- Select a physical TCP server resource.
Note: If
there are no physical TCP server resources displayed, you must create
one.
- Optional: Click the Monitoring tab
if you want to add a log file for the new logical TCP connection.
The log file can be monitored during the execution of a test
that involves the new logical TCP connection.
- Optional: Click the Documentation tab
if you want to enter additional information about the new logical
TCP connection.
Note: Although you do not have to enter
this additional information, it might help with the maintenance of
the resources in your Rational Integration Tester project
or it might help future users of your project.
- Click OK.
Results
The new logical TCP connection is added to your Rational Integration Tester project.
