; Target deployment technology from IBM Rational is a versatile, low-overhead technology enabling target-independent tests and runtime analysis with limitless target support. Used by all IBM Rational Test RealTime features, the Target Deployment Port (TDP) technology is constructed to accommodate your compiler, linker, debugger, and target architecture. Your tests are independent from the TDP, so a change in the environment does not affect test script deployment, execution and reporting.

To make Test RealTime operate in your environment, you can customize an existing TDP, or create a new one with the TDP Editor.
To access the TDPs that are included with the product:

  • Select Tools > Target Deployment Port Editor > Start to start the TDP Editor.
  • In the TDP Editor, select File > Open to view a list of all available TDPs.
  • Select the closest TDP for your environment, and modify the "Basic settings" to match your specific environment.
  • Select File > Save & Generate to save the modifications and generate the TDP.


Other TDPs can be found on IBM developerWorks (r) http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/products/testrealtime.


TestRealTime provide any TDP, at any time, for free as soon as it is available in the IBM data base.
You can then yourself customize or adapt the TDP to your environment, using the TDPeditor delivered with the tool. In addition some help can also be found on the developerworks forum.

Alternatively, IBM Rational can provide the service of creating a new TDP that fits with your needs.
If you would like to request such service from IBM Rational, please contact your IBM sales representative.
