Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install HCL OneTest™ Performance. After you install the product, you can perform administration tasks such as license configuration and integration with other products. This guide is intended for administrators.
Configuration of the product
You must configure HCL OneTest™ Performance when you want to run SAP tests, collect response time breakdown data, or use the product in the Docker container.
Configuring the data collection infrastructure
If you want to collect response time breakdown data from remote computers used in distributed applications, you must install and configure the data collection infrastructure on the remote computers.
Data collection infrastructure overview
The data collection infrastructure collects performance profiling data for distributed applications and sends the data to the workbench computer, where you can view and analyze the collected data. The data collection infrastructure must be installed, configured, and running on all remote computers that will be used in your distributed application. The data collection infrastructure is installed when you install HCL OneTest™ Performance Agent.

    - Instrumenting local servers
      You must instrument application servers to collect response time breakdown data. You can use either a command-line or graphical user interface to instrument application servers to work with the data collection infrastructure.
    - Instrumenting servers by using the command prompt
      You must instrument application servers to collect response time breakdown data. You can use either a command prompt or graphical user interface to instrument application servers to work with the data collection infrastructure.
    - Removing instrumentation
      Before you uninstall the data collection infrastructure, you must remove instrumentation from all application servers that were instrumented to work with the data collection infrastructure.
    - Removing instrumentation using the command prompt
      Before you uninstall the data collection infrastructure, you must remove instrumentation from all application servers that were instrumented to work with the data collection infrastructure.
  - Configuring Docker containers
    Instead of reading through the system requirements list and installing the products, you can now deploy the Docker containers on any computer and get started with testing. To automate playing back tests, you can push the product images to the Docker container.
- Integration with other products
  You can integrate HCL OneTest™ Performance with certain products to run tests, manage test assets, and create defects.

Data collection infrastructure overview

The data collection infrastructure collects performance profiling data for distributed applications and sends the data to the workbench computer, where you can view and analyze the collected data. The data collection infrastructure must be installed, configured, and running on all remote computers that will be used in your distributed application. The data collection infrastructure is installed when you install HCL OneTest™ Performance Agent.

You can monitor a live application in a development or testing environment and collect data from the application in real time. Data collection is supported on the following web servers:

IBM® WebSphere® Application Server, Version 6.1, 7.0, 8.0, or 8.5 running on Microsoft™ Windows™, AIX®, and Linux™
Oracle WebLogic Application Server, Version 9 or 10 running on Microsoft™ Windows™ and Linux™

You can also query IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring for Transaction Performance, IBM® Tivoli® Composite Application Manager for Response Time Tracking, IBM® Tivoli® Composite Application Manager for WebSphere® or IBM® Tivoli® Composite Appliciuiu.uation Manager for Application Diagnostics management server databases to collect past performance data for an application that is deployed in a production environment. Data collection is supported on the following software versions:

IBM® Tivoli® Monitoring for Transaction Performance, Version 5.3 fix pack 1 (5.3.0.1)
IBM® Tivoli® Composite Application Manager for Response Time Tracking, Versions 6.0 and 6.1
