ALMTaskForBambooPlugin - Issue with Running Load Tests

[VijayaSenaReddy Ayyappaneni]

Recently I am trying to setup CI for load tests. As part of that I was evaluating the bamboo plugin and ran into issue which is blocking the POC. Can you please assist resolving the issue?

Getting following error when I trigger the bamboo job while authenticating to ALM: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'TDAPIOLELib.TDConnection'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{62D83266-71EF-4F8B-8AE6-661D614D0769}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

Note: Bamboo Agent is running on window server 2012 SP2, ALM is running on 12.01.141 version. Not sure if there is any compatible issues?

Let me know if you need any more information?

When you get error message like "No such interface supported", usually it means your QC/ALM client doesn't register correctly. Need to do it again.

1. Add in site administrator, Site configuration Tab the parameter DISABLE_COMMAND_INTERFACE and set it to "N".

"If this parameter is set to "Y" (default), only users be longing to the TDAdmin group can use the OTA Command object. If it is set to "N", any user can use it.If it is set to "ALL", no users can use it. For more information, refer to the HP Quality Center Open Test Architecture API Reference."

2. Open ALM-> Tools  -> Help -> Open Add-In Page -> Install TDConnect (for connectivity) would resolve the issue. It worked for few users.
