Hi David -
I think you might be interested in a new feature for 2.0.1: https://jazz.net/jazz02/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/21559

The current strategy we recommend is for users to leverage "Categories" to capture the organizational aspects of hierarchy that they may be using already.

Regards,
John

We are importing a number of asset registries from CQTM to RQM. In most of these ARs the teams have created a number of parent-child relationships between test plans (TPs) & test cases (TCs). When these are imported it flattens the parent/child structure of all the test plans, as it would appear RQM does not support the concept of "child test plans".

1) Is there any functionality in RQM to support Test Plans which have a parent "object" of type Test Plan? (E.g. TP1-->TP2-->TC1)

2) How can I run the import and maintain some semblance of the teams' existing assets? The teams are very ingrained into the visual layout they have in CQTM. I do not need to duplicate that exactly, but need to provide a good method for them to find the assets they want in the new tool.

Hi David,
I have not personally run the CQTM migration tool so I can not comment on specifics, but I am very familiar with the RQM REST API that the tool is built on top of.
Categories have two main attributes: a type and a value. So, for instance, I define a new category for "Product" (type) and specify "RQM", "RRC", and "RTC" as values of that category type. So, I think you'll want to define a category type and then map Test Plan values in CQTM to category values in your new type.
I'll see if I can find someone with specific information on how to do this since I know others have in fact done similar before.

Just as an fyi: here is the category API info for Test Plans in RQM:
http://jazz.net/projects/rational-quality-manager/api-doc-2.0/api-files/schemas/qm_xsd/elements/category_1.html
"term" is the category type.

John.

Hi John,

Thank you for your response. Is there a way to direct test cases into pre-defined category values during the "import to RQM" process? For example:

*In RQM I have created a category with values "Group1" and "Group2"

*In CQTM, each test case headline contains a 3-character prefix designating the equivalent of a category.

*During the import, I want it to map any "ABC" prefix to Group1, and any "XYZ" headline prefix to Group2.

I see information in migration.cfg about field-to-field mappings from CQTM to RQM, but nothing (so far) based on the values within those fields.

Thank you,

David
