Tester Guide
This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for testing various domains, technologies, and applications. To enable testing, you must configure and enable the environment for testing.
Integration Tester Reference
This guide provides the topics to help the Integration tester use the product by using the user interface, commands or scripts. This guide is intended for Integration testers.
Working in non-GUI mode
Many test actions can be completed in non-GUI mode by using the command line, Ant, or REST interfaces.
Managing stubs
You can manage stubs by using the command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
Stop a stub by using an Ant task
You can stop a stub by using the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Ant tasks.

  - Extending Rational® Integration Tester functionality by using custom functions
    You can add more calculations and operations to tests by using the Rational® Integration Tester custom function class. Rational Integration Tester custom function is a Java™ class that extends the com.ghc.ghTester.expressions function.
  - Working in non-GUI mode
    Many test actions can be completed in non-GUI mode by using the command line, Ant, or REST interfaces.
    - Command-line interfaces
      Rational® Integration Tester command-line client is available in Rational Integration Tester 8.0.1 or later.
    - Ant tasks
      Support for the environment, scenario and stub Ant tasks is supplied with Rational® Test Control Panel.
    - REST services
      Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. When used in conjunction with IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel, HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) are mapped to actions on domains, environments, scenarios, stubs and other resource types.
    - Running tests
      Use Rational® Integration Tester to run tests with command-line and Ant APIs.
    - Managing test results
      Use IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel to manage test results with command-line APIs.
    - Managing domains
      You can create, list, update, and delete domains with the Rational® Test Control Panel REST API.
    - Managing environments
      Locking a Rational® Test Control Panel environment prevents other users from changing the state of that environment, for example, starting or stopping stubs.
    - Managing scenarios
      Use IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel to manage scenarios with command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
    - Managing stubs
      You can manage stubs by using the command-line, Ant, and REST APIs.
      - Selecting stubs to be published
        You can use various options to select stubs to be published.
      - Selecting a stub to start or stop
        You can use various options to select a stub to start or stop.
      - Publish stubs by using the command line
        You can publish a stub to IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel, Dockerfile and build context, or Kubernetes by using the Rational Integration Tester command line.
      - Start a stub by using the command line
        You can start a stub by using the Rational® Integration Tester command line.
      - Stop a stub by using the command line
        You can stop all instances of a stub by using the Rational® Integration Tester command line. This option is useful in situations where Ant is not available.
      - Publish stubs by using an Ant task
        You can publish stubs by using the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Ant task, the Dockerfile and build context Ant task or the Kubernetes Ant task.
      - Start a stub by using an Ant task
        You can start a stub by using the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Ant tasks.
      - Stop a stub by using an Ant task
        You can stop a stub by using the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Ant tasks.
      - REST services
        Representational state transfer (REST) is a simple stateless architecture that generally runs over HTTP. When used in conjunction with IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel, HTTP methods (such as GET and POST) are mapped to actions on domains, environments, scenarios, stubs and other resource types.
- Integration Tester Guide (Service Virtualization)
  This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for using virtual services or stubs to simulate parts of an environment if the real services are not yet available or because they are difficult or expensive to use. This guide is intended for Integration Testers.

Stop a stub by using an Ant task

You can stop a stub by using the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Ant tasks.

Here is an example syntax:

  <taskdef name="stopStub" classname="com.ghc.ghTester.ant.StopStub" classpathref="tasklib" />

<stopStub domain="<Domain name>"
 environment="<Environment name>" component="
<Component name>" operation="<Operation
 name>" name="<Stub name>" version="<Stub
 version number>" serverUrl="https://<Host name
 or IP address>:5443/RTCP/"/>

The following example usage files for the Ant tasks are available in the AntClient.zip package that can be downloaded from Rational® Test Control Panel. For more information, see Rational® Integration Tester tool packages.

create-update-delete-environment.xml
lock-unlock-environment.xml
publish-stubs.xml
start-stop-scenario.xml
start-stop-stub.xml

The following table lists the attributes that you can use with the stopStub Ant task for stopping a stub.

Table 1. List of available attributes
Attribute	Description	Required
serverUrl	URL of the Rational® Test Control Panel	Yes
domain	Domain name	Yes
environment	Environment name	Yes
component	Component the stub exists within.	No
operation	The operation the stub exists within on the server.	No
name	The name of the target stub to stop.	Yes
version	Version of the target stub to stop.	No
async	Run asynchronously (flag).	No, default is synchronous.
username	Specify the user name to authenticate with the server if the environment is locked and the domain security is disabled.	No
securityToken	Specify the security token generated for you to authenticate with Rational® Test Control Panel when the domain security is enabled. In the locked environment mode, the operation can be performed by the user who locked the environment.	No, default is to send no token.
haltOnFailure	Set to true to fail the Ant script if the stub fails to stop (flag).	No, default is false.
failureProperty	The name of a property that is set in the event of a failure.	No
