Moving Test Cases and Test Scripts from one RQM server to another
Folks,
I am trying to move a set of test cases and test scripts (around 2000 items each) from one RQM 3.0.1 server to another 4.0.3 server. I tried using RQMCopyUtility utility, but i am getting XML schema errors, which i believe are due to the different server versions. How can i do this migration? Follow the error log:

One answer
Bernardo,
The copy utility cannot be used across major versions of the QM; so you cannot copy RQM 3.x data into a 4.x instance of RQM
In order to perform this type of migration you would need to first upgrade your 3.x data to 4.x

Isn't there any other way to bulk export the test cases/scripts from 3.x server and then import into 4.x? Upgrading would be a very time consuming process in this case.
Bernardo,
There are differences in the schema between version 3.x and 4.x that the upgrade process deals with under the covers. You will need to first upgrade your 3.x assets in order for you to then copy them to a difference server
