Queries related to RQM (could not find ans anywhere)
We are planning to roll out RQM for our project.Please find below our queries which are a major concerns for us:
1. The workitem -- Defect -- when customized involves extensive mapping of fields with CQ.
Is there a feature of importing the existing schema?, or
Can RQM by some means open cqweb defect form thereby keeping the functionality of CQ still intact? or
2. How does the tool handle reference, dependant fields present in CQ incase there are no corresponding field in predefined defect work item.i.e a custom attribute depending on another custom attribute's input (for eg: we choose the value of Team Area from a drop down field --> accordingly the user list should populate in another field)
3. While raising a new defect through RQM, will the synchronization rule that is created in RTC work? Will the defects be synchronized into ClearQuest?
4. We have the most basic requirement of Renumbering of requirements ,test cases within projects and across different project areas within a same repository. Can there be a possibility of starting the requirement from 1 for each project area (the system generated ID can be hidden from the user).
5. Is there a possibility of customizing requirement work item or Quality manager default template available (As we learnt that It is not possible in version 1.0.1 of RQM)?
6. How is the traceability with requirements handled, in case of import of requirements from RequisitePro? (How is the impact shown if any requirement changes)
Any help regarding the above queries would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Re. point 4: No, RQM is dependent on RTC for the work item functionality. You could create an enhancement request for RTC on jazz.net to ask for this.
Re. point 5: Some customization is workable as long as you are adding and not deleting fields or workflow states.
Re point 6: When a synch is done between RQM and ReqPro, Requirements are marked as Suspect on the View Requirements page if changes were detected.

CQ related queries are mostly covered in the Help documentation of RQM:
Under Integration-> 'Rational Quality Manager and Rational ClearQuest'
It works in the same manner as it works with RTC. Technically, it's a gateway between CQ server and Jazz Team server.
Re. point 3: It depends on how difference the defect type between RQM & RTC. In general, the rules set up in RTC can be reused with some minor changes to the field mapping.
Do let us know if there are any other concerns about it.
