Tricentis Tosca Server Version 2023.1 Patch 1-8

This topic is all about patches for the 2023.1 version of Tosca Server.

Keep in mind that patches are cumulative: the latest patch always contains the latest fixes and those of previous patches. This means you only need to install the latest patch to get all fixes for this version.

To ensure full functionality, you must also install Tosca 2023.1.3 or newer.

Installation

Due to service dependencies, patches are a full installation of Tosca Server. This means that to install a patch, you need to perform an upgrade to the patch version:

  1. Download Tosca Server 2023.1.8 (opens in new tab) from the Tricentis Support Hub. Please note that you have to be signed in with your Tricentis Support Hub credentials to see the download.

  2. Perform the upgrade to the patch version:

    • Uninstall your current version of Tosca Server.

    • Unzip the new version. Then run the executable and follow the upgrade process. This includes additional manual configurations after the upgrade, for example reinstating your settings.

New features

This section lists new features that we've added.

REST API: triggering test runs (since patch 8)

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.
