Error copying test plan between servers using RQM Copy Utility

0
Mike Griffiths (3●4●5) | asked Jun 26 '14, 2:04 p.m.
 Hi,

I am having an issue when I try to migrate test plans between two servers, both running RQM 4.0.4.

The following switch was supplied to the RQM Copy Utlity:
-a=testplan

Here is the last few lines of the log file:

SEVERE: FAILURE!

A number of customization's have been made to the "Lab Resource and Channel Properties" section found under "Manage Project Properties" on the source server. These same customizations have NOT been made to the destination server (it just has what comes out of the box with a 4.0.4 install). 

Does the Copy Utility sync up the Lab Resources before trying to migrate test plans or does this need to be done manually before a migration?

Is there a way to find out which Lab Resource is missing from the "configuration TE302" message?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

Lab resources are support by the RQM Copy Utility (see -la/-listArtifactTypes).  This symptom appears to be caused by CopyUtil fails when copying "configuration" from one project to another (108174).  You could try using the RQM 5.0 Copy Utility.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for a quick reply!
I tried switching to the 5.0 Copy Utility and it gets further into the process, a bunch of configurations are copied then it fails with:

INFO: Finishing: configuration TE312

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Hi Mike,

This symptom is a by-product of using a newer version of the RQM Copy Utility.  We will have to backport CopyUtil fails when copying "configuration" from one project to another (108174) to RQM 4.0.4.  Please open a PMR (see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21507639).  As a work-around, you can ignore configuration resources (-i=configuration).

 Hi Paul, 

Thanks for the work-around (-i=configuration). I was able to go back to using the 4.0.4 Copy Utility but I'm still hitting the "does not represent a valid iteration resource URL" error. I think this is unrelated to defect 108174 so I will log a new defect shortly.
Mike
