Task flow: Working with the IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel Environments dashboard
You can use the Rational® Test Control Panel Environments dashboard to perform various tasks such as starting, stopping stubs and scenarios, and modifying stub configurations after you have published stubs to Rational® Test Control Panel. You can also lock the environment that contain the published stubs.
The task flow presents tasks that a Tester can perform in the Rational® Test Control Panel Environments dashboard. The following links to the associated topics provide more information to complete the tasks.
| Task | More information | |
|---|---|---|

| 1.2 | By using the command line. | Publish stubs by using the command line |
| 1.3 | By using an Ant task. | Publish stubs by using an Ant task |
| 2. | Verify that the stub is published by checking the output directory from the publish step. | Verifying stub publication to Rational Test Control Panel |
