Topaz Workbench Hiperstation Eclipse User Guide

Welcome! Hiperstation is a suite of tools that streamlines the testing process and helps improve the quality of your applications. The Hiperstation tool suite offers these products:

Hiperstation for VTAM

This product provides the means for testing applications that use a 3270 user interface, or SNA LU0/LU2 communication protocols via unattended and interactive tools.

Hiperstation for Mainframe Servers

This product includes support for testing applications using HTTP and HTTPS protocols. It includes SNA testing support and expands this support to test APPC/LU6.2 applications.

Hiperstation for WebSphere MQ

This product enables the testing of applications that use WebSphere MQ.

Hiperstation/Eclipse

In addition to the mainframe Hiperstation products, Hiperstation/Eclipse allows you to use theWorkbench for Eclipse to perform application auditing tasks on your local workstation.

Product Features

All of the Hiperstation products include the following functions:

  • Global Record: Captures user sessions on a keystroke-by-keystroke or message-by-message basis. This is accomplished through a global record function for ALL components and interactively in the case of 3270 applications.
  • Playback: Re-executes previously recorded sessions either online in interactive or non-stop mode, or in a batch job.
  • Comparison: Compares the output of the current playback session with the recorded session.
  • Application Profiles: Helps end users tailor their view of the product saving time for both new and advanced users by minimizing the need to learn and remember settings when using the product. Novice users will more quickly become productive in the use of Hiperstation. More experienced users can still override the defaults and fine tune Hiperstation to their needs
  • Hiperstation Archive/Search: Archive/Search can be accessed using the Workbench for Eclipse, an Eclipse-based graphical user interface (GUI), to create a communication pipeline that allows information to flow from the mainframe to the client and from the client to the mainframe.

In addition, each of the components also has specific capabilities to aid testing in their respective environments. For advanced testing, Hiperstation incorporates IBM's REXX script language, allowing you to customize and enhance script creation, playback, and reporting.
