Running POM files from earlier versions of Rational® Integration Tester

Running a Maven command

You must run the following Maven command if you want to update POM files generated from Rational® Integration Tester 9.2.1.1 or later.

To back up the existing POM file, find the new version from Rational® Test Control Panel and update the version in the existing POM file.

The following example shows the Maven command to update the existing POM file named pom_tp52776.xml.

This command creates a backup of the file and updates the version in the pom_tp52776.xml from 1.920.0 to 1.921.1

Editing the existing POM file

For POM files generated from earlier versions of Rational® Integration Tester edit the earlier POM file by replacing the version number in the old POM file (for example, 1.911.1 for Rational® Test Control Panel version 9.1.1.1) with the version number from Rational® Test Control Panel 9.2.1 (for example, 1.921.0).

The following example shows a section of a new POM file generated from Rational® Integration Tester 9.2.1:

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.hcl.products.test.it</groupId>
            <artifactId>it-plugin-boot</artifactId>
            <version>1.921.0</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.hcl.products.test.it</groupId>
                <artifactId>it-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.921.0</version>

The following example shows a section of an existing POM file that was generated from Rational® Integration Tester 9.2.0:

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.hcl.products.test.it</groupId>
            <artifactId>it-plugin-boot</artifactId>
            <version>1.920.0</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>com.hcl.products.test.it</groupId>
                <artifactId>it-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>1.920.0</version>

Note the value of the version property (version></version> in each of the POM files. To run the existing POM file with Rational® Integration Tester 9.2.1, you must edit the version of the existing POM file and change it from 1.920.0 to 1.921.0.
