Importing a testcase and linking it to an existiing testsuite

Hi

I tried both, via export and import and via direct upload to the repository. Both do not work

I  am using the importer utility version 6 with a RTC in Version 5.0.1.

When generating the XML, I see that this line :testcase.testsuite=Linkexisting("urn:com.ibm.rqm:testsuite:"&H) is not transformed at all, no mention of a testsuite in the file.

The suite had been manually created.

Thanks for your help

I had tried v5.0.1 and 5.0.2 ExcelImporter with v5.0.1 RQM with no problem. In theory v6.0 Importer is not compatible with v5.0.1 RQM. you may want to try with v5.0.2 excelimporter given that your RQM is 5.0.1.
and you can check with one test suite such as testcase.testsuite=Linkexisting("urn:com.ibm.rqm:testsuite:xx")
xx is the test suite id and see if it works and then extend.

HI Don,

thanks for your answer. I have tried all of the suggested: deinstall 6.0, install 5.0.2, and also I tried to exacly use one id for the suite as suggested by you. Still, no mention of the testsuite in the generated XML file.

my cfg file is by now:

testcase.dc:title=A
testcase.jzalm:owner=B
testcase.dc:description=C
testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=D
testcase.testscript=Link("urn:com.ibm.rqm:testscript:"&E)
testcase.priority=F
testcase.category term="Release".value=G
testcase.testsuite=Linkexisting("urn:com.ibm.rqm:testsuite:"&H)

And all works well except for the last row. If you say it works with you  - what exact cfg are you using?

I used sample TestSuite with TestCases 001.cfg
but comment out some lines for testing purpose

// this configuration file will create a static testsuite and a testcase object for each one listed
// and link all testcase to the testsuite


//testsuite.dc:title=C1
//testsuite.dc:description=A4
//testsuite.testplan=LinkExisting("urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan:6")


//testcase.XLSStartRow=7
testcase.XLSArtifactID=B7
testcase.dc:title=B7
testcase.dc:description=E7
//testcase.jzalm:owner=C
//testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCaseDesign","RQM-KEY-TC-DESIGN-TITLE")=F
//testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=K
//testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePostCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-POST-COND-TITLE")=L
testcase.testsuite=Link(M7)

In M7, I have got something like: urn:com.ibm.rqm:testsuite:12

HI Dan,

I also just tried the non changed version of the TestSuite with TestCases 001.cfg and actually it looks different to what you have above: it is meant to create a testsuite including testcases, testsuite.XLSLink=testcase, but not link to an existing.

When I try your approach, I see in the XML the standard HREF, same as for the link to the script... and it does not work when importing it into RQM. Which makes sense to me, as in case of script I link to a child, whereas for the suite, I link to a master.

Following this, it seems absolutely meaningful, when I try to create a new testsuite (as is in the above) I get another XML file for the testsuite, that then links the testcases to the suite. However, I did not find a place where to import the testsuite xml. - do you know where?

And also, it does not resolve my problem with the link to the existing suite.

Can you maybe post your complete cfg and all of the xml files that you import?
