Upgrade Automatics to support scriptless execution

For a partner to upgrade Automatics to support scriptless executions need to be done as mentioned below.

Automatics Orchestration

For a partner upgrading from Automatics 1.0 Needs to follow the below steps,to upgrade the 3.0 support in Automatics orchestration Please follow below steps.

2. Run the SQL scripts from Automatics_DB.sql file present in the Automatics Orchestration starting from line number 1596. These scripts will help in creating all the new tables that are required for Scriptless Automation execution.
3. Add the new changes from hibernate.cfg.xml file which contains the configuration about the two new tables Automatics Orchestration will be interacting with.
4. Once after the above changes generate a WAR file of Automatics Orchestration and deploy it in the tomcat server. Deployment can also be done using Automatics UI. Setup the microservice
5. Verify whether the deployment is done and updated to 3.15 version.

Scriptless Service

Scriptless Service provide the support of API to required for new UI pages added for scriptless automation in Automatics. Hence setting up microservice is an integral part of upgradation

Deploy Dependencies Required for Scriptless Execution

Generic 3.0 APIS are defined in Automatics Core , RDKV-Utils(applicable for rdkv executions) and RDKB-Utils(applicable for rdkb executions). hence latest code of mentioned projects need to be deployed to the articrafts.

Refer Jenkins Deployment Jobs for more details on how to create deployment jobs for the mentioned projects.

Utility Parser

Utlity Parser jobs need to be triggered for Automatics core , scriptless-automation , RDKV-utils (for RDKV executions) or RDKB-utills (for RDKB executions) to scan the 3.0 API details defined in the mentioned projects and updated to Automatics.

Refer Automatics 3.0 Utility Parser Jobs for more details on how to create individual parser jobs for mentioned projects .

Configuration Updation

Add the base URLs of Automatics Orchestration and Scriptless Service application in database, which will help in the communication between one and another. Use 'AUTOMATICS_BASE_URL' and 'MICROSERVICE_URL' as the config names for adding the base URLs of orchestration and microservice in master_config table.

Update urls in Automatics properties

Update below parameters to Automatics properties these urls need to be defined to support 3.0 Executions 

predefined_ds_bulk_url= <Scriptless Service Bsse Url>/addBulkPredefinedEntries

service.base.url=<Scriptless Service Base URL> 

Steps to trigger scriptless test case

• Create a scriptless test case Please refer Automatics 3.0 User Manual#BuildTestCase for more details on how to generate a scriptless test case.
• Once successfully created a scriptless test case Navigate to Manage Scripts page and enable the newly added test case
• After successfully enabling the test case Please refer Automatics 3.0 User Manual#ManageTestTrigger for details on how to trigger the test case.
