Rational Quality Manager script arguments

You can pass arguments from IBM® Rational® Quality Manager while running a HCL OneTest UI script.

You can pass the following types of details while running functional test scripts from Rational Quality Manager:

Script arguments: These arguments are available to a script writer within the script as arguments to the testMain() method.
Execution arguments: These arguments govern playback. See Command line interface.
Datapool iteration: If there is a datapool associated with the script, you can pass the number of times the scripts must run by accessing the records from the datapool.

Additionally, details about the Rational Quality Manager execution task can be passed to the functional test script so that information about the Rational Quality Manager test cases can be accessed during the script execution.

To access the execution task details within the testMain() method in a functional test script, get the path to the XML file that describes the Rational Quality Manager execution task.

In the functional test script, add String path = System.getProperty("rqm.task") to get the path of the XML file.

Note: The Rational Quality Manager details you pass using this method are specific and local to the script. If you want to specify details from the Rational Quality Manager test script, test case or test suite levels, use execution variables. For information about using execution variables, see Rational Quality Manager execution variables.
