- System Requirements
  This document includes information about hardware and software requirements for IBM® Rational® Integration Tester.
- Getting Started
  This guide provides an overview and describes the tasks to get you started with Rational® Integration Tester.
- Administrator Guide
  This guide describes how to install Rational® Integration Tester. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as configuration and integration of the product. This guide is intended for administrators.
  - Installation of Rational® Integration Tester
    You can find information about installing IBM® Rational® Integration Tester from the IBM Rational Test Workbench or IBM Rational Integration Tester package.
  - Installation of Rational® Test Control Panel
    You can find information about installing IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel from the IBM Rational Test Workbench, IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server, or IBM Rational Performance Test Server package.
  - Configuring Rational® Integration Tester
    - Installed directories
      When you install Rational® Integration Tester, the following directories are created and populated under the installation directory.
    - User file storage
      Rational® Integration Tester projects store user files, and can be created in any location to which a user has access. However, using a remote or network location can reduce Rational Integration Tester performance significantly, so it is recommended that Rational Integration Tester is installed on a local drive.
    - Changing the display language
      When you want to use the product in a different language other than the display language of your computer, then you can change the language of the product by using the command-line interface. You can find the information to change the language in Linux or Windows.
      - Changing the display language of the product installed on Linux
        When you want to use the product in a different language other than the display language of your computer, then you can change the language of the product by using the command-line interface in Linux.
      - Changing the display language of the product installed on Windows
        When you want to use the product in a different language other than the display language of your computer, then you can change the language of the product by using the command-line interface in Windows.
    - Configuring the project results database
      Historical test data and performance results from agents and probes are stored in the Rational® Integration Tester project results database. It is difficult to estimate the space that is required as the number and type of tests to be run varies. For example, lengthy performance tests can generate large amounts of data. When you create the project results database, 50GB is probably a good starting point.
    - HTTP/TCP proxy setup
      The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application.
    - Setting up the JDBC proxy
      After you install the JDBC proxy, you must deploy the proxy into the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) of the relevant applications, set up the proxy for use, and verify that it is deployed.
    - Rational® Integration Tester tool packages
      To enable IBM® Rational® Integration Tester to work with certain technologies, you must configure the required libraries by using the Library Manager and also install and configure Rational Integration Tester tool packages that are provided with Rational Test Control Panel.
    - Working with Library Manager
      Rational® Integration Tester uses a plug-in architecture to provide support for various middleware and messaging technologies, so the list of third-party products with which it interacts can become large. You can manage this list by using Library Manager. When support for a new architecture or messaging plug-in is required, you use Library Manager to add that support.
    - Debugging failed Windows™ services
      If one of the programs fails to start as a Windows™ service, it can be difficult to determine the cause. Typically the service fails to start but gives no indication of why. The Windows Event log has nothing useful and the process might not have created its log file.
    - Rational® Integration Tester and Rational® Test Automation Server
      You can publish test reports for tests run on Rational® Integration Tester to Rational Test Automation Server. You can create secrets collections for your project and store them securely on Rational Test Automation Server that you can retrieve the secrets from Rational Test Automation Server during tests at runtime.
  - Administering Rational® Test Control Panel
    IBM® Rational® Test Control Panel is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The Rational Test Control Panel allows you to use virtual services published with Rational Integration Tester to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in IBM Rational Test Virtualization Server.
  - Integrating
    Rational® Integration Tester supports integration with various other tools for quality management, change management, software configuration management, and deployment automation tools such as UrbanCode™ Deploy.
- 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.
- Test Manager Guide
  This guide describes the tasks that you can perform for tracking the quality of the application. This guide is intended for Test Managers.
- Troubleshooting Rational® Integration Tester
  While working with Rational® Integration Tester, you might encounter some problems that you can easily troubleshoot.
- Rational® Integration Tester reference
  Rational® Integration Tester is a scripting-free environment for developing tests for service-oriented architecture (SOA) messaging and business process integration projects. Tests can be built by recording existing system behaviors or from requirements, by entering the data to send and the data that is expected in return.
- Security Considerations
  You can take certain actions to ensure that your installation is secure, customize your security settings, and set up user access controls.
