Customizing RFT execution results with attachments in each verification point


Sean Lee-Loy (1941315) | asked May 22 '13, 12:13 p.m.
Hi I have modified RFT reporting of execution results by embedding direct file links i.e. file://<server>//file
which points to a shared server where our execution files are stored... However these links
only work in IE but not in chrome or firefox when viewing the execution result logs due to Chrome's and Firefox browser security model.

Therefore is there a way to convert these file links to attachments that are stored on the RQM server via REST API and I can embed the http rest URL to get these attachments much like Rational Functional Simple Log and Detailed Log links under the attachments section of the execution result?

I've attached a screenshot of a sample to get a better idea of my ask:

Actually instead I just setup an simple Apache Http server running on the server where the results are stored and refer those via http links.

for FireFox you can install the LocalLink Extension  which will give you the ability to right-click on your file links.
