Installation Process for Reports and Dashboards Portal

You can either enable this dashboard functionality while installing/upgrading Qualitia Server or you can do it after you complete the installation or upgrade process. 

Qualitia consumes an additional database (except master and project databases) for managing data related to the dashboard functionality.

...

...

Reports and Dashboard Portal URL contains the Hostname/IP:Port from the machine where Qualitia server is installed followed by the login page URL, that is, qualitia/sign-in. By default, system uses port number 8887 which users can change while installing Qualitia server.

The sample URL may look like:

• http://192.168.25.xx:8887/qualitia/sign-in
• http://localhost:8887/qualitia/sign-in

You need to login and the landing screen contains the options to navigate to Web Dashboards, Real-time reporting or Server Administration portals, depending upon your user role in Qualitia.

Uploading Multiple Suite Execution Reports to Real Time Reporting Portal

• From any computer
  You can directly upload the reports from your computer if its connection with Qualitia Server is steady. Also, it must have all the test suite execution reports that you want to upload.

• From the Qualitia Server

1. None of the reports you want to upload are:

   • Already uploaded to the Real Time Reporting portal, except for the ones that were aborted due to loss in network connectivity.

   • Incomplete as the suite execution is still in progress.

   • Generated using Qualitia version lower than 8.0.

2. Your system must have an offline package. If your system has Qualitia client, you can create an offline package. For detailed instructions, refer to Creating an Offline Package.
   Else, you can transfer an offline package from any other computer that contains the offline package to your system.

3. Qualitia server has enough space available. If the Real Time Reporting portal shows an error message that the available drive space is less than 10%, contact the Qualitia Admin to purge old reports to free up space.
