Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install HCL OneTest™ API. After you install the software, you can perform administration tasks such as configuration and integration of the product. This guide is intended for administrators.
- Planning
  Before installing the software, review several platform and security considerations. Review the release notes and network ports information.
- Installing
  You can find information about the installation considerations, selection of an installation method, and installing the product software.
- Configuring
  After installing the software, review information about how to configure databases and libraries.
  - Configuring HCL OneTest™ API
    - Installed directories
      When you install HCL OneTest™ API, the following directories are created and populated under the installation directory.
    - User file storage
      HCL OneTest™ API projects store user files, and can be created in any location to which a user has access. However, using a remote or network location can reduce HCL OneTest API performance significantly, so it is recommended that HCL OneTest API is installed on a local drive.
    - Configuring the project results database
      Historical test data is stored in the HCL OneTest™ API project results database. It is difficult to estimate the space that is required as the number and type of tests to be run varies. When you create the project results database, 50GB is probably a good starting point.
    - HCL OneTest™ API tool packages
      To enable HCL OneTest™ API to work with certain technologies, you must configure the required libraries by using the Library Manager and also install and configure HCL OneTest API tool packages that are provided with HCL Quality Server.
    - Working with Library Manager
      HCL OneTest™ API uses a plug-in architecture to provide support for various middleware and messaging technologies, so the list of third-party products with which it interacts can become large. You can manage this list by using Library Manager. When support for a new architecture or messaging plug-in is required, you use Library Manager to add that support.
    - Troubleshooting: Installation and configuration
      You can troubleshoot some of the problems that you might encounter when you are installing, configuring, or running HCL OneTest™ API.
    - Configuring HCL OneTest™ API
      You might want to configure applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy or set up to use the JDBC proxy that you installed. This section lists all such topics.
      - HTTP/TCP proxy setup
        The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application.
      - Setting up the JDBC proxy
        After you install the JDBC proxy, you must deploy the proxy into the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) of the relevant applications, set up the proxy for use, and verify that it is deployed.
      - Debugging failed Windows™ services
        If one of the programs fails to start as a Windows™ service, it can be difficult to determine the cause. Typically the service fails to start but gives no indication of why. The Windows Event log has nothing useful and the process might not have created its log file.
      - HCL OneTest™ API and HCL OneTest™ Server
        You can publish test reports for tests run on HCL OneTest™ API to HCL OneTest Server. You can create secrets collections for your project and store them securely on HCL OneTest Server that you can retrieve the secrets from HCL OneTest Server during tests at runtime.
- Integrating
  HCL OneTest™ API supports integration with various other tools for quality management, change management, software configuration management, and deployment automation tools such as UrbanCode™ Deploy.
