SQL Anywhere test datastore

What Is Rational Robot?

1-3

Convert an existing Microsoft Access test datastore to a SQL Anywhere test
datastore.

The following figure shows the main Rational Administrator window after you have
created some projects:

For information about the Administrator and projects, see the Rational Suite
Administrator's Guide.

NOTE: When you create a test datastore, the Rational Administrator uses
Sybase SQL Anywhere for the default database engine. If not already done so,
you must install Sybase SQL Anywhere software and create a SQL Anywhere
database server before you create a new SQL Anywhere test datastore or
convert an existing Microsoft Access test datastore to a SQL Anywhere test
datastore. For information about installing SQL Anywhere software and
creating a SQL Anywhere database server, see Rational Server Products
Installation Guide. To manage a Sybase SQL Anywhere database server, see the
Sybase Help.

NOTE: However, if only one user will access the test datastore
simultaneously, you can use Microsoft Access for the database engine. To
create a test datastore using Microsoft Access software, click Microsoft

Access in the Create Test Datastore wizard and follow instructions on the
screen. See the Rational Administrator online Help for more information.

NOTE: Since Rational Administrator no longer supports Windows 98 and
Windows Me, you must connect to a remote test datastore when using Robot to
record a script on either of these two platforms. Use the Browse button on the
Robot Test Login dialog box to select the location of the Rational project file.
