QC 10.0 Issues

QC 10.0 Issues.
The first potential issue is QC 10’s incompatibility with SQL Server 2008. This can be rectified by by-passing the database validation step. For this do not begin the install directly, but go to command prompt and set the parent folder of the setup.exe as the working directory and then execute setup.exe along with the following argument -W dbValidatorSequence.active=false for e.g. setup.exe -W dbValidatorSequence.active=false.
for more information check "run_after_finish.bat" file.
 QC Admin: Creation of project from Site Administration: its not allowed to create project in site admin, until set the 'ALLOW_NON_SUPPORTED_DB_VERSION=Y' parameter.
how to set above parameter?
  • Login to the QC admin area
  • click on site config. Tab
  • Add new Parameter (ALLOW_NON_SUPPORTED_DB_VERSION=Y)
while accessing QC user area using "http://server:8080/qcbin/start_a.htm" it shaw error message,
"http://server:8080/qcbin/Install/test_type.cab this file didn't pass signature check." And refer "http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1416082" URL but due to some reasons could not get success, then changed the "test_type.cab" file in "C:\Program Files\HP\Quality Center\jboss\server\default\tmp\deploy\tmp363720qcbin-exp.war\Install", copied test_type.cab file from other QC 10.0 Instance and replace @ first one QC 10.0 instance, and problem get resolved.

Not able to execute BPT components & Test from TestPlan and TestLab tab, it is giving “Invalid value for registry".
                                
Getting This error when execute business component or QTP Test from QC.

To solve above problem please check following Steps, 
1. Trigger "Invalid Value for Registry" by attempting to trigger QTP test from QC.

2. Open Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System

3. Find the most recent instance of a DistributedCOM (DCOM) error that looks like the following (values may or may not be the same)

The launch and activation security descriptor for the COM Server application with APPID
{6108A56C-6239-41F6-8C0F-94D9CE0D4B61}
is invalid. It contains Access Control Entries with permissions that are invalid. The requested action was therefore not performed. This security permission can be corrected using the Component Services administrative tool.

4. Copy the APPID (note there is no CLSID in this event like mentioned previously in this thread)

5. Start > Run > Regedit

6. Select the very top item in the regedit tree (this will cause it to search the entire registry instead of starting from the currently selected item)

7. CTRL+F (or Edit > Find)

8. Paste in the APPID and start the search

9. Rename the AccessPermission and LaunchPermission keys to something else (example: AccessPermission_Backup and LaunchPermission_Backup)
