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.
- 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 HCL® Quality Server
    You might need to configure the HCL® Quality Server after the application is installed.
  - Getting started
    Start using the HCL® Quality Server.
  - Task flow: Working with the HCL® Quality Server Environments dashboard
    You can use the HCL® Quality Server Environments dashboard to perform various tasks such as starting, stopping stubs and scenarios, and modifying stub configurations after you have published stubs to HCL Quality Server. You can also lock the environment that contain the published stubs.
  - Task flow: Working with the HCL® Quality Server Infrastructure dashboard
    You can use the HCL® Quality Server Infrastructure dashboard to perform administrative tasks such as viewing agents and proxies registered with HCL Quality Server.
  - Task flow: Working with the HCL® Quality Server Network dashboard
    You can use the HCL® Quality Server Network dashboard to perform administrative tasks such as viewing recording or routing rules configured for agents and proxies.
  - Managing users
    HCL® Quality Server has multiple choices associated with its security model. Depending on the security option selected during installation of the HCL Quality Server, different options are available based on the user accounts.

      This topic explains how to create domains using the HCL® Quality Server method.
      - Task flow: Enabling domain-level security
        You can enable and manage domain-level security in HCL® Quality Server. You must perform certain tasks sequentially to enable and manage an end-to-end domain-level security scenario.
      - Domain-level security
        Domain-level security designates the users who can access a particular domain. Domain-level security is turned off by default.
      - Creating and assigning security tokens
        If you are an HCL® Quality Server system administrator and you want to implement domain-level security, you can create and assign security tokens to individual users.
      - Configuring agents and proxies to use security tokens
        If you are an HCL® Quality Server system administrator and you want to implement domain-level security, you can assign security tokens to agents and proxies and thus filter which agents and proxies can connect to HCL Quality Server.
    - Creating domains with the HCL OneTest™ API method
      You can create domains by using the HCL OneTest™ API method.
    - Adding and removing domain privileges
      If domain-level security is enabled in HCL® Quality Server and you are a HCL Quality Server system or domain administrator, you can assign domain user, domain API user, or domain administrator privileges to other server users.
    - Modifying domains
      This topic explains how to modify domains.
    - Deleting domains
      This topic explains how to delete domains.
  - Working with HCL® Quality Server dashboards
    You can filter, search, sort, and choose the number of items to be displayed in HCL® Quality Server dashboards.
  - Deleting environments
    This topic explains how to delete environments.
  - Agent and Proxy administration
    Use HCL® Quality Server to view and control any of the HCL OneTest™ API agents or proxies.
  - Viewing HCL® Quality Server logs
    If you are an HCL® Quality Server administrator, you can view the audit, activity, and diagnostic logs of HCL Quality Server.
  - Viewing reports in HCL OneTest™ Server
    All the project stakeholders can view test reports for multiple testing products from the Results page on HCL OneTest™ Server. You can access the Results page from a web browser. Therefore, there is no need to install the desktop client.
  - Configuring stubs to connect to HCL® Quality Server and the HTTP proxy
    A stub running on its own may not be sufficient in some cases, because it might have dependencies on services such as HCL® Quality Server or the HTTP proxy. If the stub is running on the public cloud and the services are running in the enterprise, you must configure the stub to connect to these services.
  - Troubleshooting: HCL® Quality Server
    You can use workarounds to troubleshoot common problems that you might encounter when you use HCL® Quality Server.

Creating domains with HCL® Quality Server method

This topic explains how to create domains using the HCL® Quality Server method.

About this task

To use HCL® Quality Server to create a domain:

Procedure

Log into HCL® Quality Server.
Click the Administration navigation link.
Alternatively, click the Administration icon on the Home page.

The Administration page is displayed.
Click the Domains and environments tab.
The Domains and environments tab is displayed.
In the New domain field, enter the name of the new domain.
Click Add.
The new domain is created.

The domain is added to the list of domains on the Domains and environments tab and a Details page is displayed on the tab to enable you to enter additional information about the new domain (if you want).

Clicking Environments displays the Environments page, which enables you to view a listing of the environments (if any) in the currently selected domain.

Note: You cannot use the Environments page to create an environment for a new domain or to associate an existing environment with a new domain because it is read-only. Instead, environments are created automatically when stubs are published from HCL OneTest™ Virtualization or when an HCL OneTest™ API Proxy or Agent registers with HCL® Quality Server specifying an environment name.

Clicking Projects displays the Projects page, which enables you to view a listing of the HCL OneTest™ API projects (if any) where any stubs in the currently selected domain have been published.
Optional: In the Description field on the Details page, enter a description for the new domain.
Note: The contents of the Description field are viewable only within HCL® Quality Server. The contents of the field are not used by, or viewable in, HCL OneTest™ API.

Note: You can also specify a results database for the new domain. (For information about this, refer to Modifying HCL OneTest Virtualization project results database settings.)
