Using Execution Variables with Command Line Adapter
Does anybody ever used the "Execution Variables" associated with the Command Line Adapter?
I've read that "in the case of CLA they get passed to your script as environment variables, not script arguments". Is there any special action I should take to have them working? I've basically defined some Execution variables contextually with a Command Line Adapter's Test Script type, and I was expecting to be able to use them in my script command (a .bat file) - But they looks to be not set. I'm working on a Windows 2008, RQM 3.0.1.1 Any help/suggestion is very appreciated thanks in advance |

Hi Pietro,
See the section "Using execution variables with command-line scripts" in the document http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/topic/com.ibm.rational.test.qm.doc/topics/c_execvar_overview.html There are two ways to get at execution variables: 1) environment variables 2) through a properties file on the test adapter machine Hope that helps. |
Hi Pietro, As listed in the docs "The names of these environment variables begin with qm_ to distinguish them from other environment variables." As a practice I use in my .sh scripts, I record the variables/values in the script by using this: echo RQM variables: set | grep qm_ the output generates a list of the variables/values in the .out file attached to my result. This is a handy way to see what is being passed (it also helps when you have a typo - like I have done...) You could do similar in Windows but will need a "grep" style command added. rns |
