Tricentis Tosca Server 16.0 Patch 1-10

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

Tosca Server 16.0 updates are cumulative. This means the latest Tosca Server versions contain all fixes and features from preceding versions.

However, you only need to install the latest version of Tosca Server 16.0 to benefit from the latest fixes and features.

If you haven't yet, you must also install Patch 9 or later for Tosca to ensure full functionality.

Installation

  1. Download Tosca Server 16.0 Patch 10 from the Tricentis Support Hub (opens in new tab). Please note that you need to be signed in with your Support Hub credentials to see this download.

  2. Due to service dependencies, the patch is a full installation of Tosca Server. This means you have to perform an upgrade:

    • Back up your data.

    • Uninstall the existing version of Tosca Server.

    • Run Tricentis_Tosca_Server_16.0_Patch10.exe and follow the steps described in the upgrade process.

Some components of Tricentis Tosca Server require additional manual configuration after installation.

For further information on these components, check out the following sections.

New features

We've added the following features:

REST API: triggering test runs (since patch 10)

Triggering test runs via REST API (opens in new tab) is now disabled by default.

To enable triggering test runs via REST API, follow these steps:

  1. Open the REST API appsettings.json file. After a default installation, this file is at C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Server\RestApiService.

  2. Set the setting DisableExecutionTasks to false.

  3. Save and close the file, and then restart the service.

Notification Service: override Kestrel limits (since patch 2)

Tricentis Notification Service uses the default limits of all Kestrel properties. If the default limits don't work for your environment, you can configure an override. For detailed information on Kestrel properties and limits, check out the Microsoft Kestrel documentation.

To override the limit of a particular Kestrel property, follow these steps:

  1. Open the appsettings.json file. After a default installation, the file is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Server\NotificationService.

  2. Create a corresponding property on the root level of the appsettings.json file and specify the desired limit.

    Let's say you want to change the limit of the Kestrel property MaxResponseBufferSize to 50,000,000 bytes. To do so, add the following property on the root level of the appsettings.json file:

Copy 
{
                "Kestrel": { 
                "Limits": { 
                "MaxResponseBufferSize": 50000000, 
                }     
            },

  1. Save and close the file.
