Is it possible to create collections in RM (RQM) from a script or commandline?

If I have a list of requirements in a text file or CSV file I want to be able to use this list to create a collection in the RM component of RQM without doing this manually from the RQM interface. How can this be achieved?

Thank you for your attention.

With the RQM Excel/Word Importer, you don't have to know anything about the RQM Reportable REST API.  In fact, we have added support in RQM 4.0 for importing requirements directly into RRC (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter).

Ok Paul, I think I have the information that I need now - thanks.


I was missing the .cfg notation for requirement types. Looks like this will not be available until version 4.0.2 but at least I have the syntax.

Yes, you can use the RQM Excel/Word Importer (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter) for the CSV file or the RQM Reportable REST API (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi) for the text/CSV files.  Note, the RQM Excel/Word Importer is built on the RQM Reportable REST API.  You can use the RQM URL Utility (or any HTTP client - https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Common_Usage_Scenarios) to invoke the RQM Reportable REST API from the command line.

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I thought about using the RQM Excel/Word Importer but did not know the XML representation for a collection.
I was not able to find this in the RQM 4.0 XML Schema Documentation. I probably need the RRC XML Schema for this? 

It would be a big help if you could point me in the right direction or provide an example of the format.

Regards,
Loyde
