Chapter 2 Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

About Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

After you install the Enterprise Extension on your Quality Center server computer, you must load the Enterprise Extension license to enable you to work with the Enterprise Extension in your Quality Center projects. In addition, you must enable the Enterprise Extension for each Quality Center project for which you want to use it. You must also install the SAP Application Importer Component on each Quality Center client computer. If you want to learn flows automatically by navigating your SAP application, you must configure your SAP environment. You can also configure which Quality Center user groups can perform actions in the Application Model module, and configure Application Model module entities.

Loading the Enterprise Extension License

To enable the Enterprise Extension in Quality Center, you must load your Enterprise Extension license. To load the Enterprise Extension license: 1 In Site Administration, click the Licenses tab.

36

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

2 Click the Modify button. The License Edit dialog box opens.

3 Click the Load License button and select the Enterprise Extension license file. Alternatively, copy the content of the license file and click Paste License. 4 Click OK. The license is displayed in the list of licenses.

Enabling the Enterprise Extension

After installing the Enterprise Extension on your Quality Center server, you must enable the Enterprise Extension for a project before you can use it with the project.

Notes:

You cannot disable an extension for a project after you enable it. When you enable a project for the Enterprise Extension, the Application Model module is also enabled for the project.

37

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

To enable the Enterprise Extension extension for a project: 1 In Quality Center Site Administration, click the Site Projects tab. 2 In the Projects list, select a project. In the right pane, click the Project Extensions tab. The Extensions list is displayed, listing extensions installed on the Quality Center server.

3 Shift-click and highlight both the Application Model and BPT Enterprise Extension rows. Click the Enable Selected Extensions button and click Yes to confirm. The BPT Enterprise Extension and Application Model extensions are both enabled and a confirmation message displays. Note that enabling the extensions may take some time.

Note: Once Enterprise Extension is enabled for a project it cannot be disabled.

38

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

Installing the SAP Application Importer Component

If you want to import SAP application entity hierarchies to the Application Model module on your Quality Center client computer, you must install the SAP Application Importer Component on that client computer. The SAP Application Importer Component is the tool that communicates with the SAP server and imports application entity data from your SAP application to Quality Center.

Notes:

To install the SAP Application Importer Component, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed on the client computer. You can download it from the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com). To install the SAP Application Importer Component, you must have operating system administrator permissions.

To install the SAP Application Importer Component: 1 From your Quality Center client computer, log in to a project for which the Enterprise Extension is enabled. The SAP Application Importer Component files are downloaded to your client computer. 2 Locate the APM directory in the Quality Center installation directory (by default C:\Program Files\Common Files\Mercury Interactive\Quality Center). 3 Run the SAPAppImporterSetup.exe file located in this folder and follow the installation instructions on your screen.

39

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

Configuring the SAP Environment

To use the Enterprise Extension to learn flows automatically by navigating your SAP application, you must configure your SAP application. The necessary configuration settings are the same as those required for working with the HP QuickTest Professional Add-in for SAP Solutions. For more details on these configurations settings, see the chapter on SAP GUI for Windows environment in the HP QuickTest Professional Add-ins Guide.

Customizing the Enterprise Extension

You can define which users have the permissions needed for different tasks in Business Process Testing for SAP Applications. You can customize the Enterprise Extension by defining which user groups can add, delete, and modify application entity folders and application entities. You can also determine which application entities and application entity fields each user group can view. In addition, you can add and customize Application Model module fields and customize access to the Application Model module. This section includes the following topics:

Defining Permissions for Business Process Testing for SAP Applications Customizing User Group Permissions for the Application Model Module Hiding Data in the Application Model Module for a User Group Customizing Project Entities Customizing Module Access

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

Hiding Data in the Application Model Module for a User Group

You can set filters for specific fields in the Application Model module, limiting the application entities that a user group can view. For example, you can set the filter for the field Type to SAP Batch Job. This instructs Quality Center to allow users belonging to the user group to view only application entities that are SAP batch jobs. You set filters in the Filter Condition tab in the Application Model Data-Hiding Filter dialog box. For more information on hiding data for a user group, see the HP Quality Center Administrators Guide.

You can filter by the following fields: Code, Entity ID, Entity Name, Is Active, Modified, and Type. For more details on these fields, see the HP Business Process Testing Enterprise Extension Users Guide.

44

Chapter 2 Setting Up the Enterprise Extension

You can also select which fields in the Application Model module the user group can see and which should be hidden. You select these fields in the Application Model Data-Hiding Filter dialog box, in the Visible Fields tab.

You can choose to hide the following fields: Description, Folder, Is Active, Modified, and Type. For more details on these fields, see the HP Business Process Testing Enterprise Extension Users Guide.
