2 questions: Q #1. When uploading artifacts from RQM 2.0 to RQM 4.0, there a way to preserve the artifact Ids (can 4.0 have the same artifact id as 2.0)? Q #2. After uploading from RQM 2.0, is there a way to auto link the uploaded artifacts?

We are trying to upgrade from RQM 2.0 to RQM 4.0 and finding that when the artifacts from RQM 2.0 are uploaded to RQM 4.0, RQM 4.0 generates a new artifact ID and does not preserve the artifact ID it had in RMQ 2.0.  Also, we are finding that if there are any attachment to the artifact, we have to manually link them to the artifact.  We are using RQMURLUtil 2.0 version for the download and RQMURLUtil 4.0 for the upload. 
Same questions apply to RTC as well.  We are doing the same type of download and upload from 2.0 to 4.0.

Kitty,

For clarification, are you upgrading an RQM  2.x instance to 4.x (i.e. upgrade 2.x to 3.x. to 4.x)? 
It sounds as if you are trying to directly copy 2.x data to an existing 4.x repository, is this the case? If so, this would not be supported and your data integrity is at risk. There have been schema changes that need to be accounted for during the upgrade process, you simply cannot move 2.x data to a 4.x system

Hi Ara.  Thank you for responding.  I really do appreciate it.  Yes, you are correct.  We are trying to go directly from 2.x to 4.x.  Seems like there could be a work around to resolve the data integrity risk you mentioned.  Do you suppose that if we use a trial version of RQM 3.x we could go from 2.x to 3.x.  Then from 3.x to 4.x?

 Kitty,
Yes, the correct process would be to go from 2x to 3.x to 4.x
If you have a moment, take a quick look at the following post

Specifically, at Sunil's comment; this will give you a good overview of the upgrade process

Hi Ara, thank you again for your answer.  I did look at Sunil's post.  It does help somewhat to understand the progression and process to go from one version to the next.  So then still the question that remain is can we you a trail 3.x version for the intermediary version between 2.x and 4.x?

I meant, can we "use" a trial 3.x version for the intermediary version between 2.x and 4.x?

Yes, you can download the trial version of 3.x as a means to upgrade.

Note: you'll only have a temporary license so you'll need to keep that in mind when you 

are planning your upgrade strategy.
