Configure services via Service Configuration

This chapter covers the configuration process for services that are part of Tricentis Test Automation Server for SAP features.

Modify service settings

You can modify your service settings. However, Tricentis recommends that you do not.

The default value for the secret key ClientSecret of each service is <to be generated>. After starting the Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration, the ClientSecret is automatically generated. It is associated with your ClientId.

You can access it through the appsettings.json file. By default, this file is located at each services’ directory at C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Server\.

Each service uses the same ClientSecret in each appsettings.json file of all services.

Access Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration

Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration opens automatically if you have selected to open the settings page in the final screen of the Test Automation Server for SAP installation.

To start Service Configuration manually, access the Test Automation Server for SAP Landing Page and click on Settings.

You can only configure services on the machine on which you've installed the services. You can't access Service Configuration from another machine.

Specify admin access

To configure services, you need admin access rights.

If you started Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration as a non-admin user, Tricentis Service Configuration starts with the User Account Control (UAC) window.

To enable admin mode, click Yes.

Configure services with Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration

To configure the services, follow the steps below:

In Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration, click the tab of the service that you want to configure.
Populate the configuration property fields. For information on which properties you have to configure for which service, see the following sections:
- Test Automation for SAP Gateway, which contains the Test Automation Server for SAP Landing Page and Test Automation for SAP Service Discovery
- Test Automation for SAP Administration Console
- Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Authentication Service
- Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Mail Configuration
- Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Project Service
- Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Test Data Service
Repeat the steps above for all services that you want to configure. Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration marks all updated service tabs with an asterisk.

Click Save. This saves all changes; you don't have to save each service individually.

You can't save if you have entered an invalid property value. Tricentis Test Automation for SAP Service Configuration displays an orange exclamation mark on the service tab with the invalid property value.

Click OK to confirm the restart of all Tricentis Services.

If a service can't restart, you can check your log files by clicking on View Logs next to the service.
