Installation
Download the latest RPM distributable of the MettleCI parallel Unit Test Harness (see Accessing the MettleCI Software Distribution). The rest of these instructions assume this is located in your user’s
$HOME
directory.From that directory, install the package from the shell of your DataStage Development Engine using Red Hat Package Manager (RPM).
sudo rpm -U dm-unittest-harness-x.x-x.noarch.rpm # or for AIX... sudo rpm -U dm-unittest-harness-x.x-x.noarch.rpm --ignoreos
Verify that your rpm package installation has been successful. Note that this command uses the package name ('dm-unittest-harness') and not the RPM filename ('dm-unittest-harness-x.x-x.noarch.rpm').
sudo rpm -V dm-unittest-harness .....UG.. /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSComponents/bin/dm-unittest-harness-1.0-219.jar .....UG.. /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/PXEngine/bin/osh-dm
Copy your MettleCI licence file into the location:
/opt/dm/mci/mettleci.lic
unless the licence has already been installed by the Workbench.
