Tool Mentor: Establishing the Test Environment on NT
Purpose
This tool mentor describes a simple scenario of setting up Component Broker (CB) server
and client run-time environment on NT. Depending on the requirements, refer to the
Component Broker Planning, Performance, and Installation Guide for setup details.
Related Rational Unified Process activity: Activity Execute Functional
Integration Test on the Development Platform.
Overview
To set up the CB server:
- Plan Server Configuration
- Install Prerequisite Software
on the Server
- Install the CB Server
- Test the CB Installation
In this tool mentor, it is assumed that a typical Java client machine is set up. To set
up a typical CB client:
- Install
Prerequisite and Other Support Software on the Client
- Install the CB Client
In many cases, setting up an NT server without workload management is enough for
functional integration testing.
For more complex topologies for performance testing on NT, refer to the
section titled "Configuration and Capacity Planning" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install DB2 server. See "User ID Configurations" and "Installing and
Configuring DB2" in the Planning, Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install JDK. See "Installing and Configuring the Java Development Kit" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install VisualAge C++. See "Installing VisualAge C++" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install VisualAge for Java. See "Installing VisualAge for Java" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install DCE server. See "Installing and Configuring DCE" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install the CB server with System Manager option. See "Installing Component Broker
for Windows NT" in the Planning, Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Configure CB server. See "Installing Component Broker for Windows NT" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Test CB installation with samples. See "The Initial Configuration" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Test DCE services. See "Verifying Services with DCE" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install JDK. See "Installing and Configuring the Java Development Kit" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- (Optional) You may want to install DB2 client so you can query data from the database
server. See "User ID Configurations" and "Installing and Configuring
DB2" in the Planning, Performance, and Installation Guide.
- (Optional) You may want to install DCE client so you can examine DCE cells from the
client workstation. See "Installing and Configuring DCE" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
- Install CB client with the typical client option. You may want to install the System
Management User Interface (optional) if you want to administer the CB server from the test
client machine. In this case, you should install with the Custom Install option. See
"Installing Component Broker for Windows NT" in the Planning, Performance,
and Installation Guide.
- Configure CB client. See "Installing Component Broker for Windows NT" in the Planning,
Performance, and Installation Guide.
