1 Lab requirements and objectives

Time needed to complete this exercise: 1 hour

The scenario in this lab looks into the development, test and deployment of an application. The application used in this scenario is the JKE Banking Application. This application is available as a sample Application with Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management.

1.1 What you should be able to doAt the end of this lab you should be able to:

Understand components, relationships and roadmap for setting up a DevOps Pipeline Understand how to provision infrastructure using IBM Pure Application System How to deploy an application using IBM Urbancode Deploy How to create a ‘stub’ in order to develop and test an application that is dependent

upon external services Where to get additional information and demonstrations


IMPACT 2014

1.2 Prerequisite knowledgeThis lab assumes you’re familiar with:

IBM WebSphere Application Server features and functionality Application development and deployment basics Basic knowledge of IBM Pure Application System features and purpose

1.3 About the sample application

The sample application used in this lab will leverage two components. The client side application is dependent upon an external WebService web service for stock quote information. In this scenario we will be looking at how to leverage IBM Pure Application System and IBM Urbancode Deploy to provision and test this application in an environment where the engineers do not have access to the external WebServiceweb service.

3 Activities


IMPACT 2014

3.1 Demo: Infrastructure Setup


IMPACT 2014

3.2 Demo: Project Initialization


IMPACT 2014

3.3 Activity: Deploying an Application The following diagram provides an overview of both the provisioning and deployment steps. This activity will walk through the area highlighted in blue which involves deploying the application to a provisioned environment.


IMPACT 2014

3.3.1 Login to IBM Urbancode Deploy and view the JKE ApplicationLogin to <IBM Urbancode Deploy URL> with user <USERID>, and password <USERID>:

Navigate to Applications:

Select the JKE Application:

3.3.2 Locate the Environment which you will deploy the application intoIBM Urbancode Deploy provides an application centric view of the world. Looking at the Environments tab of the application, you can see where and what versions of the an application is deployed.

An Environment has been pre-provisioned for each user using blueprints. Blueprints provide the integration between IBM Urbancode Deploy and IBM Pure Application System. Each user has an isolated testing environment. In this lab we will be deploying a new version of the JKE application into your environment.

Locate the environment for your userID. The environment name will be labeled testenv-<USERID>. © 2014 Copyright IBM Corporation Page 11 of 33

IMPACT 2014

[3.3.3] Review your Application EnvironementEnvironmentClick on your environment. Note the resources that represent the deployed virtual machine, and application server that you will be deploying the JKE Application into.


IMPACT 2014

3.3.3[3.3.4] Review the deployed Virtual System Instance in IBM Pure Application SystemOpen a new browser window and login to <IBM Pure Application System URL> with <USERID> and <USERID>

Navigate to Workload Console


IMPACT 2014

Navigate to Virtual System

Locate your Virtual System Instance that was deployed from IBM Urbancode Deploy.

Review the details of the Virtual System Instance

Optionally take a snapshot of the Instance in this state


IMPACT 2014

Important: Write down the IP address of this machine as <ENV_HOST> and update <JKE_URL> in the Variable table in section 2.1

Switch back to the IBM Urbancode Deploy browser window.

IMPACT 2014

When complete go back to the Application Environment and note the deployed application


IMPACT 2014

3.3.6[3.3.7] View the JKE ApplicationOpen a browser to the <JKE_URL> that you previously wrote down when reviewing the environment.

3.4 Activity: Creating Virtualized Test ServiceIn activity 3.3 you deployed and tested the JKE Application. This deployment process included a step that configured the JKE Application to leverage a proxy server for the external WebServiceweb service, which provided a generated response for the WebService web service call. This allows for the continuous development, integration and test of an application without requiring all the dependent services to be available within the environment.

In this section we will deep dig a little deeper and have a look at how this WebService web service stub can be created using Rational Test Workbench and Rational Test Virtualization Server.

3.4.1 Connect to your Rational Test Workbench instanceEach participant in the workshop already has an instance of a Rational Test Workbench workstation running in the IPAS environment. You will use a Virtual Network Connection (VNC) client to access the workstation’s desktop from your laptop. Use the <RTW IP Address> from section 2.1 to access your instance.

Note. You can also view your RTW instance in IBM Pure Application System in a similar way that you located your deployed test environment.


IMPACT 2014

From your workstation open the VNC Client

Enter the value for VNC Server in the following format: <RTW IP Address>:2 where RTW IP Address is the address assigned to you per the table, above.

Click Connect

In the VNC Viewer – Authentication dialog, enter the password “Impact2014” and click OK.


IMPACT 2014

Use the Full Screen mode.

NOTE: To exit Full Screen mode use Ctl-Alt-Shift-F

3.4.2 Open Rational Integration Tester Double-click the IBM Rational Integration Tester launcher on the desktop to

launch Rational Integration Tester.


IMPACT 2014

In the project selection dialog, ensure the project JKERITVirtualizationTests is selected and click OK,

3.4.3 Explore the Logical View modelThe Logical View of the Architecture School perspective of Rational Integration Tester enables you to visually model the relevant aspects of the system architecture. The new Stock Quote feature of the JKE Banking application will leverage an API operation named info provided by Google Finance. This relationship has been defined in the model for you.

Right-click the GoogleFinance HTTP connection in the diagram and select Physical Resource. The settings of the physical web server model element define the host and port of the server hosting the info service.


IMPACT 2014

Click the Test Transport button near the bottom of the Web Server dialog. Note that since our IPAS environment does not have access to the internet, we are unable to connect with the public server finance.google.com. This would normally stop our testing but in the following sections, we will use Rational Integration Tester to create a stub that will virtualize the Google service.

Dismiss the Transport Test and the Web Server dialogs by clicking OK twice.


IMPACT 2014

Double-click the info operation in the Logical View model. The Message Exchange Pattern defines how the operation exchanges messages and the format of those messages. For instance, the info operation employs a Request/Reply pattern as is typical for web services. It uses the HTTP GET method over the GoogleFinance HTTP connection and is rooted at the resource path “fianancefinance/info”. The request will conform to the GoogleFinance REST schema that has been defined for you.

Click Cancel to dismiss the info operation dialog.

3.4.4 Create a StubYou will now create a virtualized service or “stub” using the model. The creation of artifacts such as stubs and tests is done in the Test Factory perspective.

Click the Test Factory perspective button on the toolbar.


IMPACT 2014

In the Test Factory perspective, right-click the info operation in the hierarchy and select New > Stubs > Stub using MEP.

Name the stub <USERID>LabUserXX_stockQuote where <USERID>LabUserXX is the username assigned to you by the instructorin the table in section 2.1.

Rational Integration Tester stubs provide many powerful options that enable you to develop anything from very simple stubs that simply reply with a fixed response message to complex stubs that maintain state and respond dynamically based on the request data. Stubs can even respond to requests that meet a certain criteria while passing other requests on to a live service using a feature called “Sift and Pass-through”. Because of the very limited time available in this workshop, you will create a simple stub that replies with a static response.

Click on the Output tab in the middle of the Stub properties view. Since the model in the Logical View did not define a schema for the response, it defaults to a blank text string.

A simple way to define the response is to paste a sample of the response data into the text field and let Rational Integration Tester format it for you. Minimize IBM Rational Integration Tester so you can see the desktop.

Double-click the SampleResponse.txt text file to open it in KWrite – a text editor.


IMPACT 2014

Select the entire contents of the file (Ctrl-A) and copy it to the clipboard (Ctrl-C). Close the KWrite editor.

Click Rational Integration Tester on the taskbar to maximize it. Double-click on the text (String) node in the message area to open the field

editor.


IMPACT 2014

Right-click in the text area on the Value tab and select Paste. Click OK to close the Field Editor.

Rational Integration Tester immediately recognizes the text content as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) data and displays it in a name-value pair format. This makes the data much easier to read for a user and makes each field value accessible for substitution from variables, data files, database entries or even the results of custom code calculations.

Save the stub.

3.4.5 Deploy the Stub to Rational Test Control PanelStubs can be executed directly from Rational Integration Tester. This is very useful when you are first developing and testing stubs, but once you are ready to share your stub with another tester, your entire team or even the entire enterprise, you can publish that stub to the Rational Test Virtualization Server.


IMPACT 2014

Right-click the info operation in the navigator and select Publish Stubs. Accept the defaults in the Publish Stubs dialog and click Publish. When publishing is complete, click OK.

Minimize Rational Integration Tester so you can see the desktop. Double-click the Link to Rational Test Control Panel launcher on the

desktop to open the Rational Test Control Panel component of Rational Test Virtualization Server. The Rational Test Control Panel is the control interface for all of the components of Rational Test Virtualization Server.

Log in with username “admin” and password “admin”. On the home page, click the VIE (Virtualized Integration Environment) image.

Select the default_domain domain and the DEV environment and click View Dashboard. On the dashboard you will see all of the operations in all the service components for the environment.


IMPACT 2014

Click the green plus sign next to the info operation.

From this dialog, you are able to start any version of any stub of the info operation that has been published to the Rational Test Control Panel. The list of stubs you see will vary as other lab participants finish deploying their stubs.

Click Cancel to exit the dialog without starting a stub. We have already started a stub for the Google Finance service that we will use in the next activity.

4 What you did in this exercise

4.1 Content reviewedYou reviewed an overall scenario for Continuous Integration, Test and Deployment of JKE Application. You reviewed the relationship between IBM Urbancode Deploy and IBM Pure Application System for deployment, and how Test Virtualization can be used to test applications that are dependent upon external services.

4.2 Activities CompletedUsed IBM Urbancode Deploy to deploy an application to an environment that had been provisioned on IBM Pure Application System. Created a ‘stub’ to mock out a call to an external WebService to facilitate development of test of an application when those services may not be available or desirable to call directly.
