Configuring general server options

You can change the directory where global application data is stored on the server computer and the port QA Wizard Pro clients use to connect to the server if the default port is already in use.

You can also enable Helix ALM Data Warehouse integration. ALM Data Warehouse communicates with the Helix ALM License Server to retrieve data from the QA Wizard Pro server database and imports the data to the data warehouse. The data can be used for creating reports using third-party reporting tools, such as SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and Oracle Reports. See the Helix ALM Data Warehouse help for information.

1. Start the QA Wizard Pro Server Admin Utility.

2. Click Server Options.

The Server Options dialog box opens.

3. Click the General tab.

4. Enter the TCP/IP port number for QA Wizard Pro clients to use to connect to the global repository. The default port is 8002.

5. Enter the Repository directory to store global repository data in or click Browse to select a location. The default repository directory is the QAWServer directory at the root of the server computer (e.g., C:\QAWServer).

Note: If you upgraded from QA Wizard Pro 2011.0 or earlier, global application data is in the QAWRepository directory.

6. Select Enable ALM Data Warehouse integration to import QA Wizard Pro data to the data warehouse for reporting purposes. Enter the Helix ALM License Server address, port, and communications password. Leave the communications password empty if the license server does not require it.

7. Click Save to save the changes.

You must restart the QA Wizard Pro Server for the changes to take effect. See Starting the QA Wizard Pro Server.
