Managing the QA Wizard Pro Server

The QA Wizard Pro Server stores global application data and hosts the server database, which stores historical playback data, in a central location. The server is hosted on a computer that can be accessed over a network. See Installing the QA Wizard Pro Server.

The QA Wizard Pro Server is required to:

• Use the global application repository to provide access to application data to multiple users.
• Use the dashboard to monitor playback information and statistics in a web browser.
• Use the status tool to review script playback line-by-line.
• Integrate with the Helix ALM Data Warehouse to create reports using third-party reporting tools.

QA Wizard Pro clients that connect to the server do not need access to the directory where data is stored on the server computer. QA Wizard Pro communicates directly with the server through TCP/IP, and the server manages the global repository files and server database.

Server administration

You can use the QA Wizard Pro Server Admin Utility to perform the following tasks.

• Change the global repository directory and port number
• Enable ALM Data Warehouse integration
• Change the server database to a different type or location
• Remove playback data from the server database
• Set or change the playback data removal password
