Starting and stopping the Engineering Test Management adapter as a Windows™ service

You can use the Windows™ service to start, stop, and view adapter activities.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Configured the adapter in HCL OneTest™ Performance. See Configuring the Engineering Test Management adapter.
Installed Microsoft™ .NET Framework 3.5.x in Windows systems for the adapter service.
Configured the workspace directory of the adapter. See Configuring the workspace directory of the adapter.

About this task

When you install HCL OneTest™ Performance, you must install the adapter as a Windows™ service. The default status of Startup Type is set to Manual.

HCL adapter for RQM

Optionally, to configure the service to start automatically, you can right-click the adapter listing, and then select Properties. You can then select Automatic from the drop-down list in the Startup Type field. Therefore, the adapter can start automatically when you restart your computer and does not require you to log in.

Notes:

When you start the adapter as a service, you cannot run the Web UI tests of HCL OneTest™ Studio from IBM® Engineering Test Management.
You must not open HCL OneTest™ Performance in the same workspace while the adapter is running as a Windows™ service. You must stop the adapter before you open HCL OneTest™ Performance in the configured workspace.

When you run the adapter as a service, the status of the adapter is printed to the adapter.log file that can be accessed from product_install_dir\HOT-PERF_RQMAdapter\logs.

You can also print the current status of the adapter by navigating to the product_install_dir\HOT-PERF_RQMAdapter\bin\ directory, and then run the RQMAdapter.bat STATUS command.

Procedure

Open the Windows™ services.
Perform the following step either to start or stop the adapter:
- Right-click HCL OneTest Performance adapter for RQM and, then click Start to start the service.
- Right-click HCL OneTest Performance adapter for RQM and, then click Stop to stop the service.

Results

You have started or stopped the Engineering Test Management adapter as a Windows service.
