Step by step guide
In your Subaccount > Applications > Subscriptions corresponding to your sandbox (pre-production), select the Web UI URL something like: https://xxx-xxx.xxx.xxx.hana.ondemand.com/itspaces
Step 1 – Add and deploy keystore
To deploy keystore, in SCPI Web UI URL, go to Monitor > Manage Security > Keystore >
 Add keystore (add an alias and select the ClearTax SSL certificate) > Deploy > Confirm.
Note: To perform above operation, you need to be a tenant administrator with role
 AuthGroup.Administrator.
Step 2 – Test connection
To check the connectivity with GSP, in SCPI Web UI URL, go to Monitor > Manage
 Security > Connectivity Tests > TLS > Enter the ClearTax EWB GSP base URL without https (ewb-gsp-staging.internal.cleartax.co for sandbox and ewb-gsp.cleartax.in for production) and port > Send. The reponse
 should be successful.
Step 3 – Update and deploy GSP iflow
In SCPI Web UI URL, To update the GSP iflow, go to Design > select E-Waybill package > Artifacts > against the gsp iflow, click on actions icon > configure > Define the
 externalized parameters as provided by ClearTax. Once parameters are
 updated, click save and then deploy.
After successful deployment, check the integration flows are in Started state by choosing
 Monitor > Manage Integration Content.
Step 4 – Add user credentials per GSTIN from NIC provided by your GSP
.
In SCPI Web UI URL, To add user credentials, go to Monitor > Manage Security > Security Material > Add > User Credentials > Deploy.
You can follow the same steps to configure production environment also.
We highly recommend you to test the entire flow with all scenarios in the sandbox environment before moving to production.
In case there is any change in the API in the future, you will have to update the iFlow which will be provided by ClearTax.
