RPE - QM - Generating list of all the test plans
Hi,
I have interesting case for building RPE - QM report. Case is quite simple because I want to display list of all the test plans in the project (including title and id).
Of course I am using feed to do this and proper data source:
server/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/projectName/testplan
Here comes a question:
Can I somehow get server url for QM and projectName dynamic way when report is generated. I am looking for in-memory variables or any other way from where I can get URL and projectName I can use to dynamically get data from data source.
I want to avoid hardcoding this in DSX files.
One answer
If you are using the RPE report (as resource) in RQM and generating the report through RQM, you can use pre-defined variables while configuring metadata for the data source:
$public: Public URL of the server
$projectAreaUUID: RQM project area
You cannot use these values if configuring the report from standalone RPE. Only option is to have external variables in RPE template and reference them to build the data source URL.

Hi Subramanya.
We are on the same page here.
I am fully aware of $public and $projectAreaUUID, the problem is I can only use them in metadata.
I am more wondering if there are any external variables typical for RQM that I can import to RPE report to use them.
To get anything in RPE, you need to make a data request and to make a data request, you should have the server name at least. You can however get the projectAreas subsequently.
