Hi there
I was reading that curretly VmWare or Xen are not supported by the zPDT, but this doesn't mean that it doesn't work.
So has anyone tried to use zPDT on VM?
The thing is that having a separate machine for UnitTest really beats the purpose of UnitTest environment.... the most important thing is that you have your "Host" localy and that you can save snapshot of the VM. So destruction of the properly working environment is out of the question.
Any light at the end of the tunnel?

We have done demos with running RDz under KVM and the UT system on the native system. Also, we have been running RDz UT under VMWare and doing some benchmarking vs. a native install. Nothing ready to post final yet ...and but it does work !
Extremely dependent on underlying hardware. Make sure you have a modern chripset and a ton of memory running on 64-bit hardware under the covers. We tried running a 64-bit linux VMWare image on a 32-bit system and it was not acceptable.

Hi Dave

That is great info... it's exactly what I was interested in.

So 64bit Win7, quad core, 6GB of RAM with virtual environment for Linux+UT should do the trick.

The basic thing is that if machine is fast the behaviour of the RDz<->UT should be fast too.

Have another question.. how are the files synhronized between UT and some repository?
Can ClearCase be used with UT?

Peace and thanks
Waldemar

That environment should work fine.
The synchronization of files will depend on the repository. Some SCMs (like CC and RTCz) can access the zOS filesystem to checkin/checkout from the repository directly. Others (like SCLM) will require you drag-and-drop/FTP/RSE-copy-paste between the systems and merge back in

For CC you can install the remote build or ISPF client capabilities to access the source and build functionality
