Data Indexing

OnPremise version 9.5.3 includes ElasticSearch as a prerequisite, allowing for greater search capabilities within Manager.

Fresh Installs for 9.5.3	ElasticSearch will be automatically enabled.
Upgrades to 9.5.3	By default, the previously used Hibernate Search will be selected. You must migrate to ElasticSearch.

Additionally, ElasticSearch must be enabled to use Tricentis Analytics reporting which is compatible with Manager 9.6.1.

These Data Indexing administration functions allow you to choose when you want to migrate your data from Hibernate to Elasticsearch, as the re-indexing may take some time to complete.

Migrate to ElasticSearch

Select the Migrate to ElasticSearch button. (This may take some time to complete and may affect other users. So please use discretion when performing this step.)
Once the migration is complete, the Migrate to ElasticSearch button disappears.
Reload the page, and the ElasticSearch button enables.
Select the ElasticSearch radio button and Save your changes to begin using your ElasticSearch database. Note: It is HIGHLY recommended to select the Re-index Data button after switching to ElasticSearch. This ensures that any new data that was created, after performing the migration process, is indexed to the ElasticSearch server.

Re-index Data

Re-indexing your data could be used for the following scenario and others like it.

Example: A new test case is created, but it is not appearing in your search. Select the Re-index Data button as a manual step before contacting Support.

Proxy Setting

If your qTest server is configured to let users access through a proxy, you will need to supply the following information.

Proxy URL
Proxy username
Proxy password
Secured Proxy URL
Secured Proxy username
Secured Proxy password
