Considerations for running virtual services on remote API agents
Before you configure a run of a virtual service resource on a remote API agent from IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server, you must read the considerations that you must take into account.
Supported virtual services
You can run all virtual services that virtualize services on a remote API agent
registered with a team space in Rational® Test Automation
Server except the following
services:
- Virtualized DPL calls in CICS® Transaction Server.
- Virtualized services for IBM® Db2® on IBM® z/OS®.
Prerequisite tasks
Before you run any of the supported virtual services on a remote API agent from a
project on Rational® Test Automation
Server, you must
have completed the following tasks:
- Installed the IBM® Rational® Integration Tester Agent on the remote computer. See Management of API agents.
- Configured the API agent with your offline user token so that the API agent can connect to Rational® Test Automation Server.
- Added the remote API agents to your project on Rational® Test Automation Server. See Adding an API agent to a project.
Licensing
When a virtual service is run on an API agent, the licenses configured for the installed agent determine the license type and the license server that is used. This might be different from the license server that is configured for the team space.
