Administrator Guide
This guide describes how to install the HCL OneTest™ Server software.
- Installation of the server software
  To get started working with HCL OneTest™ Server, you must first install the server software.
- Server software upgrade methods
  When you want to use the enhanced functionalities of HCL OneTest™ Server, you must upgrade HCL OneTest Server to the latest version.
- Migration of user data
  You can find information about the migration limitations and methods when you want to migrate data such as projects, test resources, configuration details of integrated applications, and so on. You can migrate data that is generated in an earlier version of HCL OneTest™ Server after you upgrade to or install the latest version, and then use that data in the latest version.
- Backup and restoration of the server data
  You must back up all your server data before you uninstall the current version of the server software or upgrade to the latest version of the server software. You must back up the server data to avoid data loss or inaccessibility of data.
- Uninstallation of the server software
  When you no longer require HCL OneTest™ Server, you can uninstall the server software. You can uninstall the server software depending on the platform on which you installed the server software.
- Configuration of the server software
  You can find information about the tasks that you must perform after you installed the server software to configure HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - User administration
    After you install HCL OneTest™ Server, you must consider how the software manages users and authentication.
  - Managing third-party licenses
    When you want to manage your acceptance of any third-party license agreements, you can change them from your Account Settings page on HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Certificate authority: Importing and extending lists
    When you want browsers and other applications to access HCL OneTest™ Server, you must enable browsers to trust the certificate authority (CA) of HCL OneTest Server. For some applications that integrate with HCL OneTest Server, you must also extend the CA lists that are trusted by the applications.
  - Copying third-party application Jars to Kubernetes
    You can run API Suites in a project on HCL OneTest™ Server. If the API Suite uses a transport and the transport requires third-party application Jar files for a successful run, you must ensure that the third-party application Jar files are available at the test run time. To achieve this, you must copy the third-party application Jar files to the computer where HCL OneTest Server is installed on Kubernetes.
  - Changing the password seed
    As an administrator, you can change the password seed that is used when you install the server software to provide enhanced security to HCL OneTest™ Server.
  - Server extensions
    You can run specific tests in HCL OneTest™ Server by enabling the server extensions.
    - Disabling server extensions
      When you do not want the server extensions to run on the cluster to save server resources, you can disable server extensions.
    - Enabling server extensions
      If you find that the server extension is disabled and you want to run the tests supported by the server extension, then you must enable them.
- Team space administration
  You can find information about team spaces including the initial team space on HCL OneTest™ Server along with the tasks that you can perform to administer a team space.

Enabling server extensions

If you find that the server extension is disabled and you want to run the tests supported by the server extension, then you must enable them.

Before you begin

You must ensure that the server extensions are enabled at the time of server installation by running the following command:

kubectl get pods -n test-system

The status of the server extensions that are enabled is displayed as Running. If the server extension you want to use is not displayed as running, then you must enable the server extension.

About this task

You must substitute {my-ots} with the release name that you provided during the installation of the server software in the following procedure.

The test-system is the name of the namespace. If you created a namespace by using a different value, then you must use that value in place of test-system in all the instances in this procedure.

Procedure

Log in to the platform that you used to install the server software.

For example, you can log in to the Ubuntu server using an SSH session if you installed the server software on Ubuntu.

Run the following commands that depend on the server extension you want to enable:


To enable the server extension	Run the command
CodeSweep	`helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \ --reuse-values \ --set global.hclOneTestCodesweepEnabled=true`
JMeter	`helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \ --reuse-values \ --set global.hclOneTestJMeterEnabled=true`
JUnit	`helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \ --reuse-values \ --set global.hclOneTestJUnitEnabled=true`
Postman	`helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \ --reuse-values \ --set global.hclOneTestPostmanEnabled=true`
All server extensions	`helm upgrade {my-ots} -n test-system ./hcl-onetest-server \ --reuse-values \ --set global.hclOneTestPostmanEnabled=true \ --set global.hclOneTestJMeterEnabled=true \ --set global.hclOneTestJUnitEnabled=true \ --set global.hclOneTestCodesweepEnabled=true`

Run the following command to verify a specific extension or all the extensions are enabled:
```
kubectl get pods -n test-system
```
The status of the specific extension or all the extensions in the pod is displayed as Running.

Results

You have enabled the required server extensions on HCL OneTest™ Server.
