Upgrade from Version 12.3 to 13.0

This section of the Tricentis Tosca manual describes how to upgrade from Tricentis Tosca 12.3 to Tricentis Tosca 13.0.

It contains all necessary information on what you need to do to perform the upgrade.

If a particular component is not specifically mentioned, this component is automatically upgraded.

Upgrade process

To upgrade to Tricentis Tosca 13.0, follow the steps below:

  1. Upgrade Tosca Commander. You can upgrade Tosca Commander in one of the following ways:

    • Upgrade via uninstall / reinstall if you want full control over your upgrade and log files.

    • Upgrade via setup file. This type of upgrade implicitly removes the previous Tricentis Tosca version.

    • Upgrade via command line. Tricentis recommends that you use this option if you want to upgrade multiple clients at once.

  2. Perform your migrations.

    Tosca Commander stores its project data in repositories. If the data structure, i.e. the schema version, changes, you need to migrate these repositories. You also need to migrate XEngines to upgrade your XModules and linked TestCases.

    You can migrate in one of the following ways:

    • Migrate with the Tosca Administration Console if you have Tosca Server installed. In this case, you can migrate your repositories and XEngines in one step.

      If you want to migrate via the Administration Console, you need to upgrade Tosca Server before you can perform the migration.

    • Migrate manually. In this case, you have to migrate your repositories and XEngines manually and in two separate steps.

    Migrated repositories and TestCases are not downward compatible.

  3. Upgrade Tosca Server and its features.

  4. Upgrade Engines 3.0.

  5. Upgrade Classic Engines.

  6. Upgrade Tosca Extensions, if you use them.
