We are working with RQM. In RQM we've got loads of artifacts. One of them we'd like to export is a test plan. The test plan is large as it has several linked artifacts. When attempting to export a test plan in a comprehensive mode, i runs for hour, why? What the impact to QM server while this is running?

Exporting a large RQM test plan or other artifacts could take a considerable amount of time. The duration depends on export mode used (see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_6.0.6/com.ibm.rational.test.qm.doc/topics/t_exporting_test_assets.html)


Export Summary: This report provides an overview of the selected test artifacts.
Export Details: This report provides more details about the selected test artifacts.
Export Comprehensive: This report provides the greatest detail about the selected artifacts and follows all related links. For example, in a test plan, this report includes the test plan details and the details of any associated test cases, test suites, manual test scripts, test case execution records, test suite execution records, and test results.

Do not get panic if the export is taking a longer. Instead monitor qm/active service page for a PDF export print task (com.ibm.rqm.print.ExportEngineWorkerTask) which would run a ADMIN user, not a user who has initiated a export process. Its using ADMIN id because its built in service and it take consume up to 4 threads (See QM advanced properties for com.ibm.rqm.print.service.engine.PrintEngine / Maximum Pool Size).

Define, large test plan? Depends on number of artifacts you've linked to a test plan. For example if you've a test plan with few 1000's of artifacts then it could be considered as a large export.

The large export do have a impact on a server as it can consume considerable memory and CPU on the application server (RQM) and database server.
