  You can find information about installing IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel from the IBM Rational Test Workbench, IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server, or IBM Rational Performance Test Server package.
- Configuration of Rational® Integration Tester
- Administering IBM® Rational® Test Control PanelRational® Test Control Panel
  is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The Rational® Test Control Panel allows you to use virtual services published with Rational Integration Tester to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in IBM® Rational Test Virtualization Server.
- Integrations
  Rational® Integration Tester supports integration with various other tools for quality management, change management, software configuration management, and deployment automation tools such as UrbanCode™ Deploy.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Apache Maven
    Apache Maven is a software build tool that is based on the concept of a Project Object Model (POM). You can use the Maven plug-in that is provided for Rational® Integration Tester to run integration tests and test suites as part of your Maven build.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Azure DevOps
    When you use Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment of your application, you can create tests for your application in Rational® Integration Tester and run those tests in Azure DevOps pipelines. You can integrate Azure DevOps with Rational Integration Tester by using the IBM Rational Test Workbench extension that is available in the Visual Studio Marketplace portal.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and change management tools
    Rational® Integration Tester can be integrated with the OSLC-compliant Change Management Integration Providers such as Rational Team Concert™. It can also be integrated with Team Foundation Server Change Management Integration Providers (such as Microsoft™ Team Foundation Server), and Atlassian Jira. After integration, defects and projects can be tracked directly through Rational Team Concert.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Git
    The Git integration feature provides a flexible test asset management method to track, back up, and collaborate on a project with multiple users. Collaborators in Git can import projects and test assets from shared repositories into IBM® Rational® Integration Tester and contribute their own assets and changes to the project so that everyone has access to the changes.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and HP Quality Center
    The Rational® Integration Tester add-in for HP Quality Center provides a way to integrate the powerful test creation and execution functionality of Rational Integration Tester with the organizational structures provided by Quality Center.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and IBM® Engineering Test Management
    When you integrate Rational® Integration Tester with Engineering Test Management, you can run Rational Integration Tester tests and suites in the centralized test management environment of Engineering Test Management.
    - Setting up the integration with IBM® Engineering Test Management
      You can integrate Rational® Integration Tester with Engineering Test Management to run Rational Integration Tester tests and suites in the centralized test management environment of Engineering Test Management.
    - Working with Rational® Integration Tester resources in IBM® Engineering Test Management
      After the IBM® Rational® Integration Tester-Engineering Test Management integration is complete, you can export tests and test suites from Rational Integration Tester into Engineering Test Management. Exported tests and test suites are created as test cases and test scripts in Engineering Test Management.
    - Troubleshooting: Engineering Test Management
      You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you work with Engineering Test Management.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and IBM® Rational® Quality Manager
    The integration of Rational® Integration Tester with IBM® Rational Quality Manager enables the execution of Rational Integration Tester tests and suites in Rational Quality Manager centralized test management environment.
  - Integration with Rational Software Architect Designer
    With Rational® Software Architect Designer, you can design an organization's services, which include technical description, technical documentation, and links to other technical documentation. As a tester, you can pull this information into Rational Integration Tester by using a WSDL or WADL add operation and populate the Architecture School quickly and accurately. Rational Integration Tester parses the added documents in a way that you can directly use them in your testing.
  - Rational® Integration Tester and Jenkins
    When you use Jenkins for the continuous integration (CI) of your application, you can run tests for testing your application. You can run tests created in Rational® Integration Tester for your application in Jenkins by using the Integration Tester Jenkins Plugin.
  - Rational Integration Tester and UrbanCode Deploy
    When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application that are created in Rational® Integration Tester. You can run the tests from UCD by using the UCD plugin for Rational Integration Tester or the UCD plugin for Rational Test Virtualization Server
  - Rational® Test Virtualization Server with Engineering Test Management
    You can implement Rational® Test Virtualization Server in Engineering Test Management integrated with Rational Test Virtualization Server by using Rational Test Control Panel.
  - Rational® Test Virtualization Server with Rational® Quality Manager
    You can implement Rational® Test Virtualization Server in Rational Quality Manager integrated with Rational Test Virtualization Server by using Rational Test Control Panel.

Troubleshooting: Engineering Test Management

You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you work with Engineering Test Management.

Table 1. Troubleshooting Engineering Test Management
Solutions and workarounds to problems with Engineering Test Management
Problem	Resolution
Rational® Integration Tester Agent 9.0 after configuring as a Engineering Test Management adapter to use TLSv1.2 does not connect to enable remote test execution.	Install Rational® Integration Tester 9.1.0 or later. Otherwise, for 9.0 add the following Java™ parameter: `-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2` For Rational® Integration Tester, add it to `RQMAgent.ini`. For Rational® Integration Tester Agent, add it to the Library Manager JVM arguments. Note: To see what protocol is used by the Agent when connecting to Engineering Test Management, add the following Java™ parameter to `RQMAgent.ini` and `Agent.ini`. `-Djavax.net.debug=all`
After you execute tests or suites from Engineering Test Management, and click Test Results on RTCP (Click Here) from the Test Case or Test Suite Results window, a dialog opens prompting you to enter a database name. This dialog shows because you did not configure a project results database to use and so the connection to the database fails.	You must configure the project results database and publish the results database connection details from the Rational® Integration Tester project that contains the tests and suites to Rational® Test Control Panel. For more information, see Working with Rational Integration Tester resources in IBM Engineering Test Management.
When Rational® Integration Tester Agent is using an Asian locale, results from executing Rational® Integration Tester tests and suites in Engineering Test Management do not show in an Asian language.	Change the Asian locale to an English locale by using one of the following ways: Edit `Agent_installation_directory/RunTests.ini` and append the following lines: `-nl en` Edit `Agent_installation_directory/LibConfig` and add the following JVM argument: `-Duser.language=en_US` Export the Rational® Integration Tester tests and suites again and execute them from Engineering Test Management. The results show in English in Engineering Test Management.
