Tosca Server configuration files

This topic lists the configurations you need to back up before you upgrade Tosca Server to version 2024.1. You have to back up manually if one of the following applies to you:

  • You upgrade from version 15.2 or older.

  • You upgrade from version 16.0 or newer, but the implicit upgrade didn't work.

In either case, you only need to back up the configurations of the Tosca Server features that you use.

List of files

This table only applies to the following versions:

  • Versions that are supported around the time of the 2024.1 release: 2023.2 and 2023.1

  • Versions that are in extended support around the time of the 2024.1 release: 16.0, 15.2, and 15.0.

For information on how to organize upgrades for end-of-life versions, check out "Upgrade end-of-life versions".

The paths in the table are the default paths after a default installation. Your actual paths may be different, depending on what you specified during the initial setup.

Tosca REST API Service

* As of 2024.1, REST API configurations are split between the appsettings.json file and the TCAPIRestServiceStandalone.dll.config file, both located at C:\Program Files (x86)\TRICENTIS\Tosca Server\RestApiService. This means you need to back up TCAPIRestServiceStandalone.exe.config, but populate the new files after the upgrade.
