Hi Norbert,
I don't think you can simply copy artifacts across project areas because that will require the artifact/attribute/data types are exactly the same in these project areas. In other words, the artifact/attribute/data types have to be common, which is not the case in RRC. But you can extract the artifacts to CSV files and import them into another project area to achieve the same goal. You have to make sure the necessary artifact/attribute/data types are already defined in the target project area though. You can see below documents for details about exporting/importing CSV files in RRC. http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m6/topic/com.ibm.rational.rrm.help.doc/topics/c_export_csv.html http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m6/topic/com.ibm.rational.rrm.help.doc/topics/c_import_csv.html |

Actually you may be better off exporting and importing using ReqIF instead of CSV - will be a simpler process and is more of a standard interchange format in the RM space than CSV
Comments Hi Davyd,
Oh :-(
I'm not aware of such enhancement. Such mapping has to be by hand and it will become tedious if there are many attributes to map. CSV import is a safer option here.
Important: The first time that you import, types and artifacts are created. If you import the same data later, all of the data except for the view column information is updated. During an import, only system-defined attributes and types are merged. Artifact types, attributes, data types, and folders that were not already imported from a ReqIF file are created in the project that you are importing to. For example, the file that you are importing and the project that you are importing to might both contain a Priority attribute. In that case, an attribute named Priority2 is created during the import. |
