Cloning artifact types and attributes from one RRC project to another

Doris LAU (12●6●7) | asked Jun 19 '14, 7:14 a.m.
I created artifact types and attributes in one RRC (v4.0.5) project and would like to have them in another RRC project which is located in another instance.  Is there any way to achieve that?

There is also the option to import properties from another project.  From the project properties page (of the project you want to add the attributes to), there is an "Import" option at the top of the page.  Now you can only import from project on the same server, so if they are on different servers, you might be able to do this by exporting a project template to the 2nd server, creating a project from that, and them importing properties from that project.  (Hope that made sense).

Thank you for your advice.  Yet, in my case, the 2 projects located in different servers and it hits the limitation of RRC version 4.

In RTC, we may edit process specification after project creation.  Hope that RRC may have similar flexibility in the future.

Hi Doris,

ReqIF files support artifact types. You can try this to see if it works for you.
4.0.5 Info Center: Exporting artifacts from a requirements project into ReqIF files

If you plan to create a new artifact type to use across new projects.  Then maybe creating a project template with the types would work for your use case.

I hope this helps.

Hi Erica, project template usually applies for new projects.  In my case, I need to put the new artifact types into an existing project.

Hi Doris,
For existing projects, the ReqIF feature would work.  But you have to select an artifact that contains the new type and attributes created.  After importing the ReqIF file into another existing project the artifact will be created along with the types and attributes the artifact contains.

You use the project template concept, which allows for an export/import from one server to another.  See

Hi Brian, to create a new project, we can make use of project template.  Yet, for an existing project, it seems there is no way to import new artifact types from a separate instance (or I have overlook it?)
