Configuring Rational Integration Tester for recording IMS Connect traffic

You can set up IBM® Rational® Integration Tester to record IBM Information Management System Connect traffic.

About this task

Configuring Rational Integration Tester for recording IMS™ Connect traffic involves modifying the registration.xml file of the HTTP/TCP proxy, which is a component of IBM Rational Integration Tester Platform Pack.

Note: Only Rational Integration Tester 8.5.1.1 or later supports virtualization of IMS Connect traffic. If you are using a version of Rational Integration Tester earlier than 8.5.1.1, you cannot create stubs for IMS Connect services.

Procedure

You must set up port-forwarding in the HTTP/TCP proxy’s registration.xml file to forward IBM IMS Connect traffic into the proxy, and then to the actual IBM IMS Connect server. This file is in the httptcp folder in the IBM Rational Integration Tester Platform Pack installation directory.
Add a forward bind line in the registration.xml file as shown:
```
   <forward bind="ritserver01.com:1234" destination="ImsConnectServer.com:5678" type="imsconnect"/>
```
Note: Rational Integration Tester 8.5.1 or later supports two type values for configuring forward bind. In addition to the type value imsconnect, we now support ims. These values can be used as aliases to each other.
