      - Setting up the integration with Rational Quality Manager
        You can integrate HCL OneTest™ API and IBM® Rational® Quality Manager to run HCL OneTest API tests and suites in Rational Quality Manager centralized test management environment.
      - Working with resources in Rational Quality Manager
        Once the HCL OneTest™ API-IBM® Rational® Quality Manager integration is complete, you can export tests and test suites from HCL OneTest API into Rational Quality Manager. Exported tests and test suites are created as test cases and test scripts in Rational Quality Manager.
      - Troubleshooting: Rational Quality Manager
        You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you work with Rational® Quality Manager.
    - Integration with Rational Software Architect Designer
      With Rational® Software Architect Designer, you can design an organization's services, which include technical description, technical documentation, and links to other technical documentation. As a tester, you can pull this information into HCL OneTest™ API by using a WSDL or WADL add operation and populate the Architecture School quickly and accurately. HCL OneTest API parses the added documents in a way that you can directly use them in your testing.
    - HCL OneTest™ API and Jenkins
      When you use Jenkins for the continuous integration (CI) of your application, you can run tests for testing your application. You can run tests created in HCL OneTest™ API for your application in Jenkins by using the Integration Tester Jenkins plugin.
    - Rational Integration Tester and UrbanCode Deploy
      When you use UrbanCode™ Deploy (UCD) for automating application deployments of your application, you can run tests created for your application that are created in HCL OneTest™ API. You can run the tests from UCD by using the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest API or the UCD plugin for HCL OneTest Virtualization

Troubleshooting: Rational® Quality Manager

You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you work with Rational® Quality Manager.

Table 1. Troubleshooting Rational® Quality Manager
Solutions and workarounds to problems with Rational® Quality Manager
Problem	Resolution
HCL OneTest™ API Agent V9.0 after configuring as a Rational® Quality Manager adapter to use TLSv1.2 does not connect to enable remote test execution.	Install HCL OneTest™ API V9.1.0 or later. Otherwise, for V9.0 add the following Java™ parameter: `-Dhttps.protocols=TLSv1.2` For HCL OneTest™ API, add it to `RQMAgent.ini`. For HCL OneTest™ API Agent, add it to the Library Manager JVM arguments. Note: To see what protocol is used by the Agent when connecting to Rational® Quality Manager, add the following Java™ parameter to `RQMAgent.ini` and `Agent.ini`. `-Djavax.net.debug=all`
After you execute tests or suites from Rational® Quality Manager, and click Test Results on RTCP (Click Here) from the Test Case or Test Suite Results window, a dialog opens prompting you to enter a database name. This dialog shows because you did not configure a project results database to use and so the connection to the database fails.	You must configure the project results database and publish the results database connection details from the HCL OneTest™ API project that contains the tests and suites to HCL Quality Server. For more information, see Working with HCL OneTest API resources in Rational Quality Manager.
When HCL OneTest™ API Agent is using an Asian locale, results from executing HCL OneTest™ API tests and suites in Rational® Quality Manager do not show in an Asian language.	Change the Asian locale to an English locale by using one of the following ways: Edit `Agent_installation_directory/RunTests.ini` and append the following lines: `-nl en` Edit `Agent_installation_directory/LibConfig` and add the following JVM argument: `-Duser.language=en_US` Export the HCL OneTest™ API tests and suites again and execute them from Rational® Quality Manager. The results show in English in Rational® Quality Manager.
