Command-line adapter
The command-line adapter (CLA) provides a quick and simple path for integrating an existing test tool into IBM Rational Quality Manager (RQM).
How does it work?
When the CLA starts the execution of a test, it creates a file that can be updated with name/value pairs that describe files/links that should be included in the execution result of that test. When execution of the test has been completed, this file is read by the CLA, and any valid files/links found are included in the execution result.
You can also use custom properties to populate information into the execution results of your CLA tests. This information consists of any name/value pairs you choose. For example, you might want to log the version of your test application and the operating system it’s running on.
Setting up and starting the command-line adapter
With the command-line adapter, a target test machine is used for command-line execution. You can use this command-line adapter if an adapter for your test type is not available. To use the command-line adapter, the target test machine must be set up to run the adapter and the test machine application must be started on the target test machine. After the command-line script is executed, an Execution Result is returned. The Execution Result includes attachments that contain the standard out and standard error information of the test process.
Customizing the command-line adapter
When you use the command-line adapter, you can customize the mapping of the actual results. The application-under-test needs to return an exit that is mapped to a script Actual Results value.
Creating a job that uses the command-line adapter to test an application-under-test
When you use the command-line adapter, you must have at least one application that acts as the application-under-test. The application-under-test needs to return an exit that is mapped to a script Actual Results value.
Running a test with the command-line adapter using local resources
With the command-line adapter, you can use a target test machine for running command-line jobs. After the adapter is registered, you can run scripts by using the command-line execution adapter on the target test machine. Use a command-line adapter if an adapter for your target tests is not available.
On the tester machine, a test case with a command-line test script is created and run. The test produces a Test Execution Result which contains the standard out and standard error of the executed command.
Running a test with the command-line adapter by reserving specific resources
With the command-line adapter, you can use a target test machine for running command-line jobs. After the adapter is registered, you can run scripts by using the command-line execution adapter on the target test machine. Use a command-line adapter if an adapter for your target tests is not available.
On the tester machine, a test case with a command-line test script is created and run. The test produces a Test Execution Result which contains the standard out and standard error of the executed command.
Adding attachments and links to command-line execution results
You can attach files and links to the Result Details section of a command-line adapter execution result.
The process that runs the command-line test includes the qm_AttachmentsFile environment variable, whose value is the full path to a temporary file. The command-line test can update this temporary file to specify files and URLs to attach to the execution result.
Troubleshooting command-line adapter issues
The command-line adapter displays error messages at startup and when commands run.
Read how to install and configure the CLA, create and execute CLA tests, view test execution results and some of the more advanced features of the CLA, including:
- Attaching files and links to the execution result
- Accessing and setting execution variables in CLA tests
- Setting custom properties
- Mapping application exit codes to RQM result codes
- Updating application progress complete values
- Limiting the applications that the CLA can execute

Webinar | Urbancode & Rational X Instana & Turbonomic
Jan 18, 2022; 10 AM & Jan 20, 2022; 10 AM
Bei voller Sicht Turbo anschalten - In der heutigen Welt der mobilen, bzw. Web-Anwendungen müssen diese immer verfügbar und mit der bestmöglichen Performance für die Endbenutzer laufen. Durch die große Zahl an verschiedenen Services, die eine solche Applikation ausmachen können und die Vielzahl an Infrastruktur-Ressourcen (on-prem, off-prem), die dabei genutzt werden, verliert man schnell den Überblick bzw. hat "blinde Flecken", die man nicht einsehen kann. Letztendlich scheint man als Verantwortlicher für eine Anwendung wie durch einen Nebel auf die Ressourcenauslastung und Performance einer Anwendung zu blicken. Nachdem eine Anwendung bereitgestellt ist, weiß man in der Regel nicht, ob diese optimal genutzt wird oder ob es irgendwo zu Engpässen und damit zu Problemen kommt.
Mit IBM's Application Performance Management (APM) und Application Ressource Management (ARM) Lösungen, lichten Sie diesen Nebel. Wir zeigen Ihnen in dieser Veranstaltung wie Sie in der Lage sind, eine komplette Sicht auf alle IT-Ressourcen und Anwendungen zu bekommen. Dazu gehört auch wie Sie diese automatisch skalieren und überwachen können, sowie auch KI-gestützt, eine effiziente Analyse und Problembehebung vornehmen können.
“You can´t fix what you can´t see!”
Termin: Jan 18, 2022; 10AM
Um Ihre umfangreiche IT-Landschaft up-to-date zu halten, nutzen Sie z.B. UrbanCode Deploy für die Continuous Delivery all Ihrer Anwendungen. Die Überwachung dieser Anwendungen in PROD erfordert immer mehr Aufwand und wird zunehmend schwierig.

Introducing the First Integration of Instana’s Enterprise Observability Platform with IBM Watson AIOps
It’s just been a few months since IBM acquired Instana, but we’ve been working hard to make the world of AIOps and Observability a better place. Recently, the two sides of the equation became a little bit closer with the release of some new integration points. Instana and IBM have integrated Instana’s industry-leading Enterprise Observability Platform for cloud-native microservice applications with IBM Watson AIOps. This combination provides a powerful predictive analytics platform for incident event management in cloud operations and DevOps.
What is Enterprise Observability?
Instana’s Enterprise Observability Platform discovers and maps all applications, services, infrastructures, events, and their interdependencies automatically. Instana ingests all observability metrics, traces each request, profiles every process, and updates application dependency maps in real-time to deliver context and actionable root cause analysis and feedback. Instana never uses sampling or partial traces. Instana Analytics enhancements optimize application performance, enable innovation, and mitigate risk to help DevOps add value and efficiency to the pipeline.
What Is Watson AIOps?
It’s a natural fit between Intana’s Enterprise Observability Platform and Watson AIOps, specifically the IBM Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps. According to the IBM website…
IBM Cloud Pak for Watson AIOps is an AIOps solution that
deploys advanced, explainable AI
across the ITOps toolchain so you can
confidently assess, diagnose and resolve incidents across mission-critical workloads.Observability and AIOps – Together at Last
The Enterprise Observability Platform provides rich incident event data for Watson AIOps to enable an end-to-end solution for correlating, analyzing, and responding to application and infrastructure events. Watson AIOps enriches incident root-cause analysis performed by Instana with additional context. It incorporates data from other structured and unstructured sources including other events, tickets, chats, and runbooks to generate predictive actions or to automatically remediate incidents with procedures contained in Watson AIOps runbooks.
According to a survey by the AIOps Exchange, 45% of businesses are using AIOps for better root cause analysis and to help predict potential problems. The Enterprise Observability and Watson AIOps integration brings together unique capabilities and a value proposition currently unmet on the market:
- Instana performs enriched root-cause analysis of incidents — with additional context from Watson AIOps, including data from other structured and unstructured sources such as events, tickets, chats, and runbooks.
- Watson AIOps performs automatic remediation via runbooks — of incidents detected by Instana
- Watson AIOps ChatOps coordinates remediation — of incidents detected by Instana
Modern application architectures, especially Cloud-Native Applications, can have more difficult problems to solve due to a lack of visibility into application, service, and infrastructure — leading to siloed teams, tools, and processes. A data explosion has made life more difficult for ITOps teams when it comes to managing their stack using manual methods. Meanwhile, complexity up and down the application stack has stretched the ability of Dev+Ops teams to understand their data and respond quickly.
Instana’s Enterprise Observability Platform combined with IBM Watson AIOps solves these problems by detecting incidents and identifying the root-cause automatically, which is then enriched with additional contextual data by Watson AIOps. Watson AIOps either predicts a remediation suggestion and/or runs a predefined runbook to resolve the problem automatically. It enables application teams to decrease MTTR, reduce level of effort and costs, more adroitly meet reliability objectives, and improve and streamline collaboration and resolution of incidents.
