The Physical View

The Physical View displays available physical resources and their location within the enterprise. Resources in this view are organized by subnet and host. If a resource is not associated with a subnet or host, it is displayed under Unconnected Resources.

Use the General menu on the toolbar to add resources, such as agents, hosts, and databases to the Physical View. The main toolbar for the Logical view

Physical resources represent testable items in your system. These items are accessible only when bound to a logical resource, by using the environment that is in use by a test.

A logical resource can be bound to only one physical resource at a time. Therefore, for use in different environments, you can create multiple versions of a physical resource.

Each transport displayed on the other toolbar menus can be applied to messaging actions in Rational® Integration Tester.
