Management of server features

After you install the server software, you can manage certain features based on your requirements.

You can author or edit test assets in HCL OneTest™ Server by using the test authoring feature. Depending on the platform that you used to install the server software, the default status of the test authoring feature is enabled or disabled.

During the installation of the server software, if you did not use any Helm parameters, you can still use those parameters even after installation is complete.

You can use the helm upgrade command to enable or disable server features after the installation of HCL OneTest™ Server is complete.

The default status of the test authoring feature is disabled when you install the server software on Ubuntu (by using k3s). However, the default status of the test authoring feature is enabled when you install the server software on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

For example, if you want to enable only the test authoring feature by retaining the values of other parameters that you used during the installation, you can run the following command after the installation is complete:
helm upgrade {my-ots} -n {namespace} ./hcl-onetest-server \
--reuse-values \
--set global.hclOneTestAuthorEnabled=true
Note: You must substitute {my-ots} and {namespace} with the name of the release and namespace that you provided during the installation of the server software.

Similarly, you can use the other additional Helm parameters to enable or disable features based on your requirements. See Additional Helm parameters.
