TDM Portal 4.11 Landing Page has changed

Products

• CA Test Data Manager (Data Finder / Grid Tools)

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading to TDM Portal 4.11, the shortcuts that users were using for TDM Portal no longer work.

Environment

TDM Portal 4.11

Cause

The TDM Portal landing page has also changed.

In TDM Portal 4.10 the initial landing page was "https://<hostname>:<port>/TestDataManager/index.html".
In TDM Portal 4.11 the landing page has changed to "https://<hostname>:<port>/TestDataManager/main.html#/login".

If users are using shortcuts, or if the load balancer is hard-coded with a redirected URL, which points to the index.html page, you will see an internal server error because this resource is not available in 4.11.

Resolution

Any shortcuts or redirected URLs should be updated to "https://<hostname>:<port>/TestDataManager" to let the application redirect the connection to the proper landing page.
