Setting up the PC as a server

To set up the PC as a server there are several setting that needs to be done. Short summary of what needs to be done

Installing the applications

The next apllications need to be installed to set the PC as a server.

• Jenkins: In order to install jenkins go to the Jenkins page.

• SonarQube: In order to install SonarQube go to the SonarQube page.

• TestExecute: In order to install SonarQube go to the TestExecute page.

• TestComplete: In order to install SonarQube go to the TestComplete page.

• TortoiseSVN: In order to install SonarQube go to the TortoiseSVN page.

• Apache Ant: In order to install SonarQube go to the Ant page.

• JUnit: In order to install SonarQube go to the JUnit page.

Startup scripts

There are two scripts that need to be run.

• One for Jenkins: JenkinsStartUp.bat

• One for SonarQube: StartSonar.bat

The batchfile for Jenkins needs to be made.

An example of this batchfile is shown below.

cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins" 
runas /user:TestServer-PC\TestServer /htsauto jenkins.exe

The batchfile for SonarQube can be find in the map of SonarQube. The path can look like this:

C:\Program Files\SonarQube\sonarqube-5.6.6\bin\windows-x86-64

The StartSonar.bat must look like this batchfile if editing it.

To let the server of Jenkins and SonarQube run, Task Scheduler is used, to let the batchfiles run.

The following steps must be followed. Open Task Scheduler and click on "Action" and then click on "Create Task". An example of this is shown on the picture below.

When clicked on "Create Task" there will be a screen like the picture below. Fill in the name and choose in the "Security optios" "Run only when user is logged on" and choose "Run with highest privileges". Also choose the correct "Conigure for" system.

Then click on the "Triggers" tab, there will be a screen like the picture below, and click on "New".

After that click on "Begin the task" and choose "At log on" for the nightly build. It is also possible to choose a day, time, week et cetera. Click on the box "Enabled". An example of this is shown on the picture below.

Now click on the tab "Actions" and there will appear a screen similair as the picture below.

To add a new program, click on "New" and there a screen like the picture below will appear. Click on "Browse" and for example to start SonarQube, the following path can be used: "C:\Program Files\SonarQube\sonarqube-5.6.6\bin\windows-x86-64\StartSonar.bat"

To see how to add a batchfile see...

Next step click on "Conditions" and make sure that the following boxes are clicked:

• Start the task only if the computer is on AC power.
• Stop if the computer switches to battery power.

An example of this schreen can be seen on the picture below.

The last step is clicking on the tab "Settings". The following boxes mus be clicked:

• Allow task to be run on demand.
• If the running task does not end when requested, force stop.

See the picture below for an example of the screen.

Now click on "Ok" and close Task Scheduler.

Windows Settings

The next Windows Settings must be set:

• Environment variables
• standby setting

For the environment variables click on windows home, and type env and click on "Edit environment variables for your account".

For the communication between TestComplete and TestExecute, there must be te same environment variable in the map of SVN. An example of this is shown in the picture below.

C:\Users\TestServer\.jenkins\jobs\HANtune\workspace\HANtune2.1\dist
