How can I duplicate a Project Area with all Test Artifacts in QM
One answer
Rafael,
See the following forum post Moving an RQM Project
"Currently there is no built in functionality that will allows a user to move a Project Area across servers; there are two potential options,, but each have their limitations.
1) The RQM copy utility
The Utility was never meant to be used as a 'Project Copy', but rather as a means to re-use specific test assets. It is however capable of performing a Deep Copy; this is not a full copy Project Area, but the majority of the Project Area assets are copied
I would fully review the Known Limitations sections of the Wiki (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMCopyUtility#Known_Limitations) so that you have a full understanding on what and what does not get copied
2) Server Rename
The Server Rename functionality allows you to copy the entire CLM set up from an existing environment to a new one
A couple of things to consider:
a) You cannot pick and choose which Project Areas to copy; everything is copied by default
b) You cannot perform the rename to an "existing server" (meaning you cant merge data from Server A to Server B; Server B will be a copy of server A)"
Comments
if I do Server Rename, and copy the entire CLM set up, the system going to copy all test artifact as well (all existing records with execution results)???

The newly renamed system will have an exact copy of the artifacts from the original system; this will include the execution results
