### OAuth support for SAP RISE compliance

We are introducing support for OAuth authentication for **Heatmap** and **Change Impact Analysis** in Test Manager. As of now, you can use either **Basic authentication** (username and password) or **OAuth authentication** (secure token and secure key).

In addition, the overall solution is now RISE-compliant, ensuring adherence to SAP’s strict requirements for SAP add-on development.

For more information, refer to the [Heatmap and Change Impact Analysis prerequisites](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/heatmap-and-change-impact-analysis-prerequisites) section.

### Client field for SAP Basic web service

The **Client** field is mandatory when configuring the SAP Web Service (Basic) connection. Existing SAP connections will continue to work as before. If you decide to edit an existing SAP connection, you must specify the **Client** field to configure a valid connection.

### Host Machine selection for Test Set execution

When executing tests, you can select the specific host machine on which test sets run. Until now, you could select only specific Orchestrator folders, robots and package versions, as part of test execution. For more information, refer to [Configuring test sets for specific execution folders and robots](https://docs.uipath.com/test-manager/automation-cloud/latest/user-guide/configuring-test-sets-for-specific-execution-folders).

:::note
Host Machine selection is available in Test Manager, only when delivered through Test Cloud.
