Exporting RQM artifacts (Test Plan) runs for more then several hours,why?
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?

One answer
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)
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.
