 I don't mean the module parent binding column solution, but deploy a parent-child relationship showing in the links. i thought i could do that with ID decimal point but it does not seem to work...

Hi Ido


You may be thinking of Link by Attribute using CSV import, which can create links between module artifacts as you describe - see https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYMRC_7.0.1/com.ibm.rational.rrm.help.doc/topics/t_link_by_attribute.html

 Thanks a lot for the quick reply, 


this is not what i was looking for, even for the Link-By-Attributes, we need to export back with the Jazz ID and then use the formal Jazz ID as the ID for the link by attributes. I was hoping there was a way to indicate parent-child during the initial import.

Yes you can but I'm still trying to work out the definitive rules for creation!

By using:
 - the correct column name for the link and its direction (don't forget the direction arrow if the ends aren't individually named)
 - the correct {LINK id=<id>} combo, where <id> is either <requirement id> or  <module id>.<requirement id> depending on whether you want an artefact or module link
 - the correct use of the moduleId, parentBinding and isHeader columns in the import if the source is module based, rather than artefact
 - the correct type of sacrifice at midnight on a lunar eclipse (joking but almost feels like not)!!

you can get it to work.

Thanks David


Long time :-) 

in any case, i am talking about an initial import of new data, so it cannot have a Jazz ID (neither artifact nor module). and this is not for modules anyway... 

so in an initial one time import of new data, this cannot happen?

Thanks

A very long time my friend :-)

That's a good question, and I think you'll have to do a double import. The {LINK id=<id>}  only works with a DNG ID and is the only way to create links at the time of import.

If this was a module import and the parent-children were in a hierarchy, then you can quickly create the links from the parentBinding afterwards. Could you do an initial import into a module to get the hierarchy, then use that to create parent-child links, then throw the module away?
