Starting and stopping the Rational Quality Manager adapter from the command line

You can use the command line interface to connect, disconnect, and view adapter activities from the test workbench.

Before you begin

Before running the Rational® Quality Manager adapter, you must configure the test workbench and the adapter.

About this task

When running from the command line, adapter activities are printed to the rpt_install_dir\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\logs\adapter.log file. To print the current status of the adapter, navigate to the rpt_install_dir\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\bin\ directory, where rpt_install_dir is the workbench installation directory, and enter this command: RQMAdapter.bat STATUS.

Note: Do not use the workbench while the adapter is running. Doing so might interfere with the ability of the adapter to run test scripts. Stop the adapter before you open the workbench.

Procedure

Open a command-line window, and navigate to the rpt_install_dir\RPT-RST_RQMAdapter\bin\directory , where rpt_install_dir is the directory where the test workbench is installed, for example: C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP.
To start the adapter from the command line, run the adapter command:
- In Windows, type: RQMAdapter.bat START
- In Linux, type: RQMAdapter.sh START
To stop the adapter from the command line, run one of these adapter commands:
- In Windows, type: RQMAdapter.bat STOP
- In Linux, type: RQMAdapter.sh STOP
