Inconsistent data returned for RM resource in Validated By links content title field based on whether logged in or not to RQM
Environment:
- RM and RQM on different servers
- Validated By links were created to base artifact (core)
-
RM 5.0.1 iFix003
Scenario:
1. Log in to RM application
2. Open a Module
3. Add Validated By column
4. Include links, tags and comments from base artifact
Below is what appears in displayed in the Validated By column PRIOR to logging into RQM
757: New Requirement [3]
https://server:port/qm/oslc_qm/contexts/_IsDfkZ83EeO1NtKwis5dgw/resources/com.ibm.rqm.planning.VersionedTestCase/_70RxsUplEeSoc40q3Q1JMQItem 1: linked Test Script [Step] (First item displayed) in Validated By column - You can see ID: Name[step
Item 2: linked Test Case (Second item displayed) in Validated By column -data that shows in relation field in the resource schema when viewing
5. Run an RPE report to display the Title of the Validated By links.
Only Test Script [Step] is shown in Validated By output, not the test case title
6. Verify Data source XML: Put resource in browser to view data: https://servername:port/rm/publish/resources?resourceURI=_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (core id, not id of resource when viewing in Module)
Test Script title [Step] is shown in title field as shown above
Nothing is shown in title field for test case link
7. LOG INTO RQM
8. Run an RPE report to display the Title of the Validated By links.
ampersand+nbsp; is displayed where Test Script [Step] was previously shown
Test Case title now appears
9. Verify Data source XML: Put resource in browser to view data: https://servername:port/rm/publish/resources?resourceURI=_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (core id, not id of resource when viewing in Module)
Only ampersand+nbsp; is in the title field where the Test Script title was previously displayed
Test Case title is now displayed in the title field
Issue: The XML file for data source (https://servername:port/rm/publish/resources?resourceURI=_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) displays different results for Validated By links of a resource based on whether user is logged into RQM or not. This results in inconsistencies in report output based on whether user is logged into both applications (RM & RQM) or not when running the report on the RM application.
Not sure how to resolve this issue and allow the report to be run on RM application and show the correct data (BOTH links). I would think BOTH the test script [step] title AND the test case title (since both appear to be linked in the Validated By links) should be available in the XML for the data source on the DNG side without having to go to RQM to report on this information.
Any assistance to get correct title information from DNG-side for BOTH links in the data returned from the resource.

You may try to check the OSLC presentation of the requirement artifact using a OSLC/REST client, and you should see two "nodes" there.

See the below article for more details.
