 I got 3 testcase on RQM server, and tried to link them to a newly created test plan.xls

as bellow:
testcase1 is the RQM name of the case.
plan
Column_A
    case
Column_B
testplan1      testcase1
testcase2
testcase3
testplan2 urn:com.ibm.rqm:testcase:95418
urn:com.ibm.rqm:testcase:95416
urn:com.ibm.rqm:testcase:95417
then I tried this cfg-use external ID to link, it didnt work.
testplan.dc:title=A1
testplan.testcase=Link(B1)  
then I tried this cfg-use internal ID to link, it worked.
testplan.dc:title=A1
testplan.testcase=Link(B2)
whats wrong,thx

Hi Zhao Li

As testcase1-testcase3 are existing, how do you determine their external id in your scenario?

According to https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#External_ID
===
A unique ID provided by the user when creating a new resource with a PUT. Resources created in the Rational Quality Manager UI will not have external IDs.
==
so if your existing 3 testcases were created over GUI, they don't have external id and you would need to use

testplan.testcase=Link(B2)

to make the link work because here the internal id should be used.
