Unable to delete Requirements


Sanal Menon (611612) | asked Oct 21 '09, 4:15 p.m.
RQM version 2.0
Browser: Firefox 3

I have few requirements in RQM that needs to be deleted. When I select them and hit the delete button (the red X icon), the requirement does not get deleted. On re-fresh, they are displayed back in the listing.

I am using the Admin login ID and have ensured that the Admin ID has all the privileges.

I just verified that this should work. I am able to delete requirements with Firefox 3.5 and RQM 2.0; and clicking refresh does not bring them back.

Question: do you get the confirmation popup, like this?

Also, is ADMIN an Admin for this project area (see Admin > Jazz Project Administration)?

No, I don't get thsi pop up message at all. Yes, Admin is set up to be ADMIN for the project area as well.

Curious. You should be getting the popup.

You have these permissions, I'm assuming?

Also, can you try IE7, or even Firefox from another client machine, to be sure it's not a local browser issue?

Slight correction - I am getting hte delete confirmation message.
I checked all the permissions and all seems correct (as shown on you screen shot).
There's lot of junk requirements piled up now and need to get them cleaned. Whats strange is that I am abke to delete other artefacts in RQM but Requirements.

Folks, I too am having this problem of not being able to delete requirements. It is further complicated because the requirements were imported from ReqPro. In ReqPro, they were deleted. Now they can't be removed from RQM 2.0.0.1. In fact, they are flagged with a Red X. Clicking on the link launches ReqWeb and naturally the requirement isn't there so an error occurs. However, refreshing does nothing and you cannot delete the requirement.
