 I have a .csv file to import into RTC. This is a mix of existing and new workitems.  The existing work items have "Id" and the new ones do not. In reviewing the documentation, I understand that I can import this file, select the "Update matched Work Item" selection as well as the "Create a new Work Item for unmatched entry".  This fails for new work items, i.e., those without "Id".  Am I interpreting this incorrectly? Thanks in advance.

 Resolved as "user error". Tool works as expected.

 What went wrong, Thomas?

Just a wild guess - some rows are without IDs, and the columns are misaligned. :-)

Yes. The import tries to find the work item and update it based on the ID. If there is no matching work item for an ID or no ID then the work item is created with the values from CSV.

Thanks Ralph. That is what I thought "should" happen. We are trying this with 6.0.2 and it does not work. I have Id field for some. Others it is blank.  I am wondering if it fails due to the formatting of the Id "blank".


Any thoughts?

This explains how it should work: https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.team.workitem.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_importing_work_items_csv_file.html


Usually the problem is in the mapping/mapping file. There is not enough information to really suggest anything.
