ALM Service Wrapper Part 1

The ATU ALM Service Wrapper is written in Java (using JACOB library) which is wrapped around the OTA API. For the wrapper to work correctly, the OTAClient.dll must be registered in your machine by the following approach.

 With the help of regsvr32.exe tool, we will register the OTAClient.dll

On a 32-Bit OS:

1) Open CMD prompt. Change your directory to C:\Windows\System32


OTAClient.dll is typically located in C drive ,
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\HP\ALM-Client\localhost\
If you are unable to see The AppData folder, enable viewing of Hidden files as AppData is a Hidden Folder

For registering the dll, use the below command.


C:\Windows\System32>regsvr32.exe C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\HP\ALM-Client\localhost\OTAClient.dll




Press Enter Key, once it is done, you will get a Message as "DLL Register succeeded".

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a 64-Bit OS:


NOTE:  Many users are experiencing issues with combination of 64bit JDK+ JACOB 32bit dll.To avoid this issue, use JDK 32bit on a 64bit machine.



1) Open CMD prompt. Change your directory to C:\Windows\System32


OTAClient.dll is typically located in C drive ,
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\HP\ALM-Client\localhost\
If you are unable to see The AppData folder, enable viewing of Hidden files as AppData is a Hidden Folder

For registering the dll, use the below command.

C:\Windows\System32>regsvr32.exe C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\HP\ALM-Client\localhost\OTAClient.dll





Press Enter Key, once it is done, you will get a Message as "DLL Register succeeded".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once the above operation is done, we are ready to use the ALM Service Wrapper. with just four lines of code you can update the results into QC/ALM.

    2. Ganesha,
      Localhost is referring to your QC server name. It could be a dns name of your QC server
