Administrator Guide
Typically, a user with the administrator role is responsible for certain tasks including installation, configuration, and integration of the product. This guide lists all such topics.
- Installation of HCL OneTest™ API Agent
  You can find information about installing HCL OneTest™ API Agent from the HCL OneTest Studio, HCL OneTest Virtualization, or HCL OneTest API package.
- Installation of HCL® Quality Server
  You can find information about installing HCL® Quality Server from the HCL OneTest™ Studio, HCL OneTest Virtualization, or HCL OneTest API package.
- Uninstalling the product software
  When you no longer require the software, you can use either Installation Manager or the stand-alone installer to uninstall the products that you have installed.
- Upgrading HCL OneTest™ API Agent
  When a new version of software becomes available, you can perform an upgrade. Use Installation Manager to update the software installation.
- License management
  Licensing for your HCL software is administered through HCL® License & Delivery portal. This portal is FlexNet-based web application to manage software entitlements and licenses.
- Configuring HCL OneTest™ API Agent
  After you install HCL OneTest™ API Agent, you must edit or modify the attributes in the Agent.config file for the features that you want to test by using the agent. You need to configure the libraries to enable testing the SUT based on certain technologies and also set up the required proxies for enabling testing.
- Running HCL OneTest™ API Agent on Microsoft™ Windows™
  On computers running Microsoft™ Windows™, the agent is typically installed and run as a Windows service.
- Running HCL OneTest™ API Agent on Unix-like systems
  On Unix-like systems, you can start HCL OneTest™ API Agent by running the Agent executable in the root of the HCL OneTest API Agent installation directory (for example, /opt/HCL/HCLProducts/Agent/).
- Troubleshooting: HCL OneTest™ API Agent
  You can use workarounds to common problems that you might encounter when you install and run the HCL OneTest™ API Agent.
- HTTP/TCP proxy setup
  The process of configuring applications to use the HTTP/TCP proxy varies according to the application.
  - Modifying the configuration settings of the HTTP/TCP proxy
    To change the server address, log level, and other settings, you can modify the registration.xml file of the HTTP/TCP proxy.
  - Configuring a HTTP(S) reverse proxy or TCP port forwarding
    The reverse proxy capability allows applications that are unable to configure HTTP(S) forward proxying to address the proxy directly and have it forward these requests to a configured destination, which is also applicable for forwarding TCP-based communications.
  - Advanced HTTP and TCP proxy configuration
    The HTTP protocol runs on top of the TCP protocol, but provides extra information about the message destination. For that reason, the two proxies are configured differently.
  - Configuring Apache Tomcat to use HTTP/TCP proxy
    You must modify the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) so that Apache Tomcat can use an HTTP/TCP proxy. You can configure Apache Tomcat by configuring JVM options in the Tomcat startup script.
  - Configuring WebSphere® Application Server to use HTTP/TCP proxy
    You must modify the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) so that WebSphere® Application Server can use an HTTP/TCP proxy. You can do this change by setting some JVM options through the administrative console.
  - HTTP/TCP proxy logs
    To help you troubleshoot HTTP/TCP proxy problems, a number of logging methods are available for the HTTP/TCP proxy.
  - Starting and stopping the HTTP/TCP proxy
    To route and record HTTP(S) and TCP traffic with HCL® Quality Server and HCL OneTest™ API, you must start the HTTP/TCP proxy. If the proxy is installed as a Windows service, you can configure it for an automatic start on start of the system or for a manual start on demand.
  - Programmatic custom certificate creation in proxy
    When an HTTPS connection is established with an HTTP/TCP proxy, the certificate that is presented to the client by the proxy is retrieved from an existing keypair that represent the intended endpoint or is generated as the default certificate by the proxy and is signed by the private key in the keystore that is configured in the registration.xml. Ordinarily, this mechanism is sufficient. If full control over the generation of certificates is required, an alternative advanced approach is available. The approach requires that custom code is written to generate and sign the required certificates.
- 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.
- Administering HCL® Quality ServerHCL® Quality Server
  is a server-based web application providing a central repository for virtualized services. The HCL® Quality Server allows you to use virtual services published with HCL OneTest™ API to create, share, and deploy virtualized test environments in HCL OneTest Virtualization.

Configuring WebSphere® Application Server to use HTTP/TCP proxy

You must modify the Java™ virtual machine (JVM) so that WebSphere® Application Server can use an HTTP/TCP proxy. You can do this change by setting some JVM options through the administrative console.

About this task

To configure WebSphere® Application Server to use the HTTP/TCP proxy:

Procedure

In the administrative console, open the Java™ virtual machine page to enter values for the JVM settings. The steps to set JVM arguments with the administrative console are different depending on the version of WebSphere® Application Server that you are using.

In the Generic JVM arguments field, type the following arguments:

-Dhttp.proxyHost=Hostname or IP address of HTTP/TCP proxy> 
-Dhttp.proxyPort=Port number specified during installation of HCL®
                    Quality Server and/or editing registration.xml file, for example, 3128>

Save the changes that are made to the master configuration.
Restart the application server for the changes to take effect.
Note: If you are setting up a HTTP/TCP proxy to support HTTPS, the properties are -Dhttps.proxyHost and -Dhttps.proxyPort.
