ARD Integration using the TDMService Connection produces unexpected results

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

We wanted to use the new TDMService component and not have to install the deprecated TDOD component, so we have one less service to be concerned with. When we use TDMService connection instead, we get unexpected results, such as the same project listed multiple times. We upgraded Agile Designer to 3.0.5.5 and it still exhibits this behavior. There is also a Java Soap null pointer error. Portal is 4.7.114.

 

Environment

Release : 4.7

Component : CA Test Data Manager

Resolution

At this point in time, the new TDM Service has not been certified for the TDM and ARD integration, therefore currently you still need to use the old TDoD GTService for the integration.
