Tricentis Tosca Patch Notes Version 14.2 LTS Patch 1-7

This topic provides information on the installation, new features and resolved issues of the Tricentis Tosca patch.

Tricentis Tosca patches are cumulative. The most recent patch for this Tricentis Tosca version contains the newly added features and fixes as well as those from previous patches. You only need to install the latest patch for this Tricentis Tosca version.

If you use Tosca Server, you must also install Patch 2 for Tosca Server to ensure full functionality.

Installation

As of Tricentis Tosca 14.2 Patch 1, Appium and Tosca Mobile Assistant are no longer part of the standard installation. To install these components, you must download them separately from the Tricentis Support Portal.

For more information, see this Tricentis Knowledge Base article.

The installation file can be downloaded from the Support Portal. Unzip all files and run the Tricentis Tosca 14.2 Patch7.exe file.

If required, run the Tricentis Tosca 14.2 Patch7.exe file with administrator rights.

You can also perform an unattended installation of the patch.

To do so, enter Tricentis Tosca 14.2 Patch7.exe /s /clone_wait /V"<MSI commands>" at the command prompt.

For information on installation parameters, see chapter "Install Tricentis Tosca in unattended mode". Note that the only applicable MSI commands for patches are /L*v and /qn.

When you patch Tricentis Tosca, the system installs new versions of configuration files, which might overwrite hidden settings that you applied to the previous version.

For information on how to avoid losing certain settings when upgrading, see this Tricentis Knowledge Base article.

For this patch, we have added the following features:

Mail Engine 3.0: Oauth support for Microsoft Exchange Server (since Patch 5)
