Publishing specific results to the server

If you have a single test result or multiple test results that are not published to IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server, you can publish a single or all of them simultaneously.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

  • Accessed Rational® Test Automation Server.

  • Created an offline user token to connect to Rational® Test Automation Server from Rational® Performance Tester. For more information, refer to Managing access to the server.

  • Created or joined a project in Rational® Test Automation Server.

  • Configured the firewall so that Rational® Test Automation Server enables connection on port number 443.

  • Upgraded legacy reports to the Web Analytics report format.
    Note: You can right-click the report and select Upgrade to upgrade the legacy report to the Web Analytics report.

About this task

You can publish the statistical reports to Rational® Test Automation Server at this moment.

Procedure

  1. Open Rational® Performance Tester, and then go to File > Export.
  2. Expand the Test folder, and then select Execution Result to Rational Test Automation Server.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Expand the project, and then select one or more test results that you want to publish.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on all the test results that you want to publish from Test Navigator, and then select Publish Results.

    Tip: You can press the Ctrl key to select the results from across projects.
  5. Click New Server and specify the URL of Rational® Test Automation Server.

    The format of the URL is https://fully-qualified-domain-name:443.

    Note: If you had added the publish parameters in the product Preferences, then the Server field auto-populates the URL of Rational® Test Automation Server.
  6. Enter an offline user token that you created on Rational® Test Automation Server.
  7. Select a project from the Project Name drop-down list.

    The Project Name drop-down list displays all the projects on Rational® Test Automation Server. The name of the team space for the project is displayed within parenthesis. You can select the appropriate project when there are identical project names in different team spaces.

    You cannot create a project from the desktop client. If there are no projects or if you are not a member of any project or team space, then you must create a project or become a member of a project or team space on the server.

  8. Click a row against the result and type the name of the label in the Labels column to add labels to the result.
    Note: If you run the test assets by using the -labels option from the command-line interface, then the Labels field contains the name of the labels that you provided during the run time and labels that you added to the performance report.
  9. Optional: Click Add Common Labels and type the name of the label to apply a common label to the selected results.
  10. Select the reports that you want to publish to the server from the Reports section.
  11. Click Publish.
