You need the agent to record and virtualize Db2®
activity in COBOL and PL/I applications on z/OS®
systems.
About this task
Install the agent so that you can record and virtualize
CICS® COBOL and PL/I
Db2® programs
on
z/OS®. The agent consists of two components:
- The agent front-end running on your workstation.
- The agent back-end (probe), running on z/OS® systems.
With both components active, you can use
HCL OneTest™ API to record
and virtualize
Db2® activity
in COBOL and PL/I applications on
z/OS®.
Procedure
-
Download the tools component named
HCL OneTest™ API Agent
for Db2® on
z/OS.
-
Go to the Tools link of HCL Quality Server and
download HCL OneTest™ API Agent for
Db2®
on z/OS.
-
Extract the contents to a temporary folder on your
workstation.
-
Install the agent. For more information about installing tool packages, see HCL OneTest API tool packages.
-
Edit the
registration.xml
file to specify the IP address and port numbers used by HCL Quality Server. The default registration.xml
contains the following line that specifies that HCL Quality Server is running on the same system as the agent:
<server base-url="https://localhost:5443/RTCP/">
If HCL Quality Server is not running on the same system as the Agent for z/OS, change localhost
to the host name or IP address of HCL Quality Server.
-
Download the beta copy of IBM z/OS Debugger.
-
Go IBM DB2 Virtualization - Rational Integration Tester
to download the software.
Note: You can ask questions, report problems, or provide feedback from the
Support tab after you log in to IBM DB2 Virtualization - Rational
Integration Tester.
-
Extract the contents of the download to a temporary folder on your
workstation.
-
Follow the instructions included with the beta copy of IBM z/OS Debugger to set up the required software on your z/OS system.
Note: You must set up the Profile Service and the DELAYDEBUG capability when you set up IBM z/OS Debugger.
