RQM Excel importer tool: Linking to existing artifacts (test scripts)

0
SC SC (3●1●2) | asked May 22 '13, 4:20 a.m.
Hi to all!
I have a set of test scripts in RQM 3, now I want to define my test cases in an Excel worksheet and then I want to import with the RQM importer tool. Can I link the test cases to the existing test scripts, for example using the scripts ID?
Thanks in advance!

You should be using Link()  modifier as Hao mentioned, not  LinkExisting. 

Here's a sample .cfg file I have used in the past:

***
// Mapping for new Test Case
testcase.XLSWorksheetID="Sheet1"
testcase.XLSStartRow=4
testcase.XLSArtifactID=A
testcase.dc:title=B
testcase.dc:description=C

// Perform linking of artifacts
testcase.testscript=Link(D)

*****

My Excel file is below:

HI Hao! thanks, first of all! I've read the document you linked, and there is a paragraph that is important:

"the LinkExisting modifier only deals with the support for linking master artifact and the artifact must exist on the RQM server side first.
the syntax will be
testcase.testplan=LinkExisting("testplanid"), testplanid1 is the external/internal id of the test plan on RQM server.
testscript.testcase=LinkExisting(E1)
testcase.testsuite=LinkExisting(F)"

I remember to you that I've in my RQM some testscripts ready, I want to import test cases, and link them, but from this paragraph I understand that testcase is considered the master artifact that must exist on the RQM server, so I could import just testscripts and link them, that is the opposite of what I need to do.

Am I wrong in my interpretation in your opinion?
