RQM Excel Importer: How to link new TCER to existing Test Plan from Excel to RQM?
Hello,
I would like to link new TCER to an existing Test Plan. But I am facing an issue with the iteration (Testphase).
What instruction should be used for the RQM External ID? Is this expression correct?: executionworkitem.testphase=LinkExisting(C3)
in C3 cell, I have defined my Test Plan ID (urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan:8354).
I am getting an error for the export of the testphase.
Thanks for your support.

One answer
You write that you're trying to link a TCER to an existing Test Plan, but executionworkitem.testphase=LinkExisting() would like the TCER to a test schedule that may or may not be part of the test plan.
To link to an existing Test Plan by just the ID (e.g. 8354), try this:
executionworkitem.testplan=LinkByExistingID(C3)

Thanks for the reply.
your suggestion is not working. I get this failure:
Initializing.....
Reading Configuration File.... Getting artifacts from document - "Initial_RQM_Import_test.xlsx"..... Error: Configuration File, Line 63, Found a value that reduced to "LinkByExistingID(C3)", but was expecting a value equivalent to a column, cell, or literal. *** Exporting Aborted: Errors found! *** I can link the test case to an existing test plan wihout problem by using this:
testcase.testplan.link=C3 where C3 cell contains urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan:8354
But to link new TCER to an existing test plan, it is not working and no failure message (executionworkitem.testplan=LinkExisting(C3). I thought the problem was the testphase. This is why I also tried to associate the TCER to the related testphase of the testplan (executionworkitem.testphase=LinkExisting(C3)) That's unfortunate. I would have thought either the way I wrote it or the way you wrote it (executionworkitem.testplan=LinkExisting(C3)) would work. I have had success with executionworkitem.testplan=Link(C3) when simultaneously importing the TCER and the Test plan. This should work when C3 contains the XLSArtifactID, not the URL. I'm not sure why testcase.testplan.link=C3 is working with the URL, but maybe the syntax is different than testcase.testplan=Link(C3).

Hi,
Unfortunately the suggestions do not work :( .
Do you have any other idea?
Thanks
Hi,
executionworkitem.testplan=Link(C3) is working !!! I made one mistake in my excel as I am generating many TCERs for a same test case in the same excel sheet..
I have now the test case (with testcase.testplan=Link(C3) ),TCERs and the TCRs in the given existing test plan.
But I can still not see the Iteration along with the TCER in my test plan. No error during the import. I am using the syntax executionworkitem.testphase.link=H3 with H3 = urn:com.ibm.rqm:testphase:R7 is my iteration.
Thanks
