Creating a file location

Before you begin

After a repository for test assets is defined, you must use a Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational® ClearQuest® Client for Eclipse to create file locations for Rational ClearQuest Test Manager.

Before creating a file location, you must use the Test Manager view to create an associated asset registry record.

About this task

To create a file location for a test script:

Procedure

  1. In the Rational ClearQuest Client or Rational ClearQuest Client for Eclipse, open the Test Manager view. On the Planning page, right-click the File Locations folder, and click New File Location to start the New File Location Wizard. The associated Asset Registry name is displayed.
  2. Determine whether you need to select the Test assets in an Eclipse project (RFT, RPT, TPTP) option. Click Next. (Note, if you are using the Rational ClearQuest Client, you do not have the option of using an Eclipse project for a file location.)
    1. If you selected the Test assets in an Eclipse project (RFT, RPT, TPTP) option, select an Eclipse project for the file location of test assets and select a location to store logs.
    2. If did not select the Test assets in an Eclipse project (RFT, RPT, TPTP) option, type the Name for the file location and click Browse to select a file and log location.
  3. Click Finish.

What to do next

After you create the file location, if the file location is in a Rational ClearCase VOB, you must associate a Rational ClearCase® view to access the VOB.
