Error description

  • When environment tags are used in the Resource Name of an
    operation, the tag value is not substituted when creating the
    HTTP proxy rule.
    This prevents these messages from being routed to the stub.
    
    STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
    
    1. Run the Rational Integration Tester Platform Pack (RIT-PP)
    HTTP Proxy Agent.
    2. In Rational Integration Tester (RIT) create an environment
    tag, e.g. "URL".
        Give the tag a value for the current environment.
    3. Open the Message Exchange Pattern tab of an operation in
    Architecture School > Logical View
    4. Add this tag to the URL used in Resource Name.
        e.g. /RTCP/examples/calculator/calculatorService/%%URL%%
    5. Create a stub from this operation.
    6. Run the stub.
    7. Check the rules configured for the HTTP Proxy agent in the
    Rational Test Control Panel (RTCP) Agents view.
    
    EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
    
    The routing rule is created with the value of the tag, e.g.:
    
    /RTCP/examples/calculator/calculatorService/myDevURL
    
    ACTUAL BEHAVIOUR:
    
    The routing rule is created with the name of the tag, e.g.:
    
    /RTCP/examples/calculator/calculatorService/%%URL%%

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * When environment tags are used in the Resource Name of an    *
    * operation, the tag value is not substituted when Rational    *
    * Integration Tester creates recording or routing rules for    *
    * the HTTP proxy.  This means that events are not correctly    *
    * recorded or routed to the stub.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    * Upgrade to Rational Integration Tester 8.6.0                 *
    ****************************************************************
    

Problem conclusion

  • This problem was fixed in Rational Integration Tester 8.6.0
    where tags are correctly expanded prior to the rule being
    created.
