How to copy everything related to a Test Plan in a single RQMCopy operation?
We're trying to copy all data associated to a Test Plan from one RQM PA to another. (RQM v5.0)
The RQMCopyUtility though, when specifying only that TP id, copies Test Cases, Test Scripts and Test Suites along with the TP, but doesn't carry TCERs/TSERs/TERs.
Is there a way to carry it all in a single copy query?
Or, if we have to run individual queries for the execution artifacts, is there a way to make it link to the previously copied data? (right now, running it for a specific TCERs copies the Planning and Construction data all over again, duplicating it)

Accepted answer
If you use the RQMCopyUtility as is, the behavior is expected, since the code is designed that way. The source code of this tool is included in the package, so you can modify the code and handle whatever the use cases you like. It shouldn't be too difficult for an experienced Java developer (if you have one available that is).

Thanks for the answer, Donald.
Would you be able to provide the rationale for this being the expected behavior? (especially the duplication when running it for the TCERs)
I'm wondering whether it's worth opening an Enhancement request around it.

When I checked the source code, I could see the logic there matches what you described. The file I checked is

I don't know the rationale part (maybe it was not well thought out when it was first developed?). Since the tool is simply "an API sample", it may only fit for very limited use cases. I guess the development team will ensure its working order, but any new features or enhancements will be at low priority. It is stated in the Wiki.

Thank you so much for the clarifications!
