Archive test cases in QM 4.0.2
Hi Guys,
I use QM 4.0.2 in my project and I need to archive all test cases done. I took a look at Help and didn't find any option for it. Could you help me please? Do you have any idea about how to archive/recover data in QM 4.0.2?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and regards,
Graciela

Hi Graciela,
In RQM 4.0.2, the delete function is like an archive. The artifact is marked as deleted, but it's not deleted in the repository. However, there isn't any way to restore the artifact.
In RQM 4.0.4, a "permanent" delete function was added. There is a "Trash" view that shows deleted artifacts which can be removed from the view. Prior to that, a delete did not delete the artifact in the database. It was really an archive. You can find more about this under the topic Rational Quality Manager 4.0.4 > Testing > Managing test artifacts
