The <DTP_HOME>/dtpservices directory is the installation directory for DTP Enterprise Pack. If you are upgrading from a previous version, your DTP and Enterprise Pack deployment should conform to this directory structure. Installing DTP and DTP Enterprise Pack on different servers or according to a directory structure other than <DTP_HOME>/dtpservices is not supported.

Enabling Access to Policy Center

Policy Center and all Policy Center Practice artifacts are deprecated and will reach their end of life in a future release. Policy Center is disabled by default and must be re-enabled if you want to continue using it. Edit the PSTRootConfig.xml configuration file located in the <DTP_INSTALL>/conf/ directory and make the following modifications:

1. Uncomment the <visible-apps> node. 
2. Uncomment the child <policy-center> node and set the value to true. To disable Policy Center, you can set the value to false or comment the node back out.
3. Save the file and restart DTP (see Stopping DTP Services and Starting DTP Services). 

One Policy Center Per DTP Deployment

For the full duration of your DTP and Policy Center implementation, you should only integrate one DTP server with one instance of Policy Center. This is because Policy Center requires DTP's project list to be consistent so that accurate information is displayed. The following scenarios describe potential issues regarding this requirement and how to resolve them:

...

Setting Default Ports for Connected Services

You can specify a default host and port for applications connecting to DTP using the services API. This enables you to redirect users to the appropriate URL if you need to enforce SSL, for example. DTP Enterprise Pack applications, for example, use the services API to communicate with Report Center. 

1. Open the DTP_HOME/conf/PSTRootConfig.xml configuration file in an editor.

2. Locate the <default-server-url> element and provide a valid URL:

   Code Block
   language xml
   <default-server-url>http://example.host.com:port</default-server-url>

3. Save the file.

Enabling SSL

SSL is not enabled in DTP Enterprise Pack by default. You will need to enable SSL if you need to secure the data transported between applications in your infrastructure. If you are using an SSL-enabled reverse proxy server, you do not need to enable SSL for Parasoft applications (see Reverse Proxy Support).

...

If you enable SSL for Enterprise Pack, you must also enable SSL for the DTP interface (DTP APIs always run under SSL) so that Report Center , and Extension Designer , and Policy Center use the same protocol (HTTPS). If you disable SSL and are not using an SSL-enabled reverse proxy server, then passwords and other important information will transmit over the network unencrypted.
