Rational Test Control Panel Starter Edition
This starter edition that is also known as IBM® Rational Test Control Panel contains technology-specific components that are used by Rational Integration Tester for recording SOA message conversations, HTTP(S) and JDBC traffic, and for monitoring middleware systems under test with minimal reconfiguration of client applications.
It is the hub of communication between Integration Tester and those technology-specific components (in particular, the HTTP proxy).
It provides some sample APIs that you can use to get familiar with Rational Integration Tester.
Limitations
On Windows computers, the Rational Test Control Panel Starter Edition fails to start if you run the build from a path that includes a folder that is named with non-English characters.
Rational Integration Tester Starter Edition throws and logs a java.lang.IllegalStateException exception when you use Rational Test Control Panel Starter Edition and run a stub. This issue is due to Rational Integration Tester attempting to upload usage statistics, which is not supported by the Rational Test Control Panel Starter Edition. To avoid this issue, metrics must be turned off manually. For information about turning off metrics, see Viewing usage statistics in Rational Test Control Panel.
