Run a test in Tosca Cloud

Footprints first, enable TIA, then configure and run a Tosca Cloud playlist.

Operational order for Tosca Cloud playlists with SeaLights:

1. Start footprints and keep them running
2. Enable TIA
3. Configure the playlist and run the test

Adapter setup (if needed): Connect Tosca Cloud to SeaLights.

When you create the ABAP pipeline with pipeline set, leave --labid unset unless you deliberately need to override it. The agent derives the default lab ID as <QAS SID> <QAS RFC hostname>. Casual overrides can break Test Cycles in SeaLights. See Create and list pipelines.

1. Start footprints collection

Start footprints for the pipeline before you enable TIA or run a playlist. Leave the task running throughout.

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.

2. Enable TIA

With footprints still collecting:

1. In SeaLights, enable Test Optimization for your application.
2. On the playlist Configuration → Parameters, set SeaLightsOptimization = true.

Playlist parameter names are case sensitive.

Tricentis UI: Optimize with SeaLights (Tosca Cloud).

3. Configure the playlist and run

Still with footprints collecting:

1. In Tosca Cloud Integrations → SeaLights, enter the SeaLights Agent Token (SeaLights integration).
2. On the playlist:

SeaLightsLabId in Tosca Commander or Tosca Cloud must match the labid of your ABAP pipeline:

1. On the agent host, run pipeline list (no parameters). Syntax and example output: Create and list pipelines.
2. In the output, find the block for your pipeline and note the labid line (for example, labid : S21 vwsvtstsap13.tricentis.com).
3. Set SeaLightsLabId on your Tosca execution list, playlist, or configuration parameters to that value (without the labid label).

Set SeaLightsLabId to the pipeline lab ID.

1. Run the playlist against your QAS system.
2. Wait for SeaLights to process Footprints data, then open the Coverage Report / Test Optimization view for your application.

SeaLights needs time to process Footprints data before coverage updates appear.

Keep search_testrepo scheduled so recommendations stay aligned with Cloud tests — see Search Test Repositories.
