Tosca Cloud runner and TIA

Tosca Cloud only — start footprints, enable TIA, then configure and run playlists with SeaLights.

Part 3 of the ABAP Agent 2.0 path — Tosca Cloud only. Use after Setup and installation and preferably Show the value with Test Cycles.

Goal: playlist test-runner reporting plus Test Impact Analysis (TIA), beyond day-zero Test Cycle downloads.

1

Prerequisites

• Part 1 complete (pipeline, build, toscacloud test repository)
• Preferably Part 2 complete (at least one build modification)
• Access to Tosca Cloud and SeaLights for your application

2

Start footprints collection

Start footprints for the pipeline first, and leave the task running for the rest of this flow.

Configures the agent to collect Footprints data for a pipeline. When you run a test, the agent matches the ABAP components that you executed against objects in the latest Build Modification and sends this data to SeaLights as a Footprint.

Command Prompt

Syntax

slabapcli.exe footprints run --pipeline <pipeline-name>

PowerShell

Syntax

.\slabapcli.exe footprints run --pipeline <pipeline-name>

Parameter	Required	Description
--pipeline	Yes	The pipeline name (as shown in pipeline list).

Example

Command Prompt

Command

slabapcli.exe footprints run --pipeline "HH_SLABAPCLI_170625"

PowerShell

Command

.\slabapcli.exe footprints run --pipeline 'HH_SLABAPCLI_170625'

Expected output (PowerShell)

.\slabapcli.exe footprints run --pipeline 'HH_SLABAPCLI_170625'

This command creates a FOOTPRINTS scheduled task that runs every five minutes to collect Footprints data and send it to SeaLights.

To stop collecting Footprints data, run:

Command Prompt

Stop command

slabapcli.exe footprints stop --pipeline <pipeline-name>

PowerShell

Stop command

.\slabapcli.exe footprints stop --pipeline <pipeline-name>

Do not run footprints stop until you finish collecting coverage. Reference: Collect Footprints data for your Pipeline.

3

Enable TIA

With footprints still collecting:

1. In SeaLights, enable Test Optimization for the application.
2. On the Tosca Cloud playlist, set SeaLightsOptimization = true (case sensitive).

Product UI details: Optimize with SeaLights (Tosca Cloud) and How SeaLights Builds Test Recommendations for SAP.

4

Configure Tosca Cloud and run a test

Still with footprints collecting, finish the adapter / playlist setup and run:

• Adapter and connection: Connect Tosca Cloud to SeaLights
• Playlist parameters and run/verify steps: Run a test in Tosca Cloud

Set SeaLightsLabId to the pipeline lab ID (leave --labid unset on pipeline set).

Leave --labid unset when you create a pipeline. The agent derives the lab ID automatically so it matches the QAS branch name: "<SID> <ashost>" (for example, S21 vwsvtstsap13.tricentis.com).

Overriding --labid casually breaks Test Cycles in SeaLights.

The auto-derived lab ID is what SeaLights uses for Test Cycles and Footprints. Only override --labid when you deliberately need a different lab ID and understand the Test Cycle impact.

5

Verify in SeaLights

Open Test Optimization for your application and confirm playlist results map to the expected build / build modification and that optimization behaves as configured on later runs.
