Hi,

You can export from CQ it will give you a sample

<xml>
<requirement>
<dc>../requirement/123456789</dc>
<dc>mytitle</dc>
<dc>bla bla bla.</dc>
<qm>aTAG</qm>
</requirement>

Hello,
Here is all of the information published about the API: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi
The format is the same. Check out this topic on using Poster, which will allow you to GET a requirement from the running product: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMUsingPoster
The simples way to get an example is to look in the "samples" folder of . There is a directory in there that contains sample XML files for a lot of the RQM artifacts, including requirements.

And what about import requirement directly from Microsoft Excel, without using XML? I only can get title and description, not others fields like tags, severity, priority, etc...

Can someone help me?

Hi!

Please explain the logic of this functionality because I really don't understand. Should this software intended to be used by not-technical people? Everyone in the world is using EXCEL to manage list why the import is only available from XML? Why the FORMAT of the XML file is not CLEAR AND VISIBLE in the help? Can someone post an XML example?

THANKS

The API is intended for the technical community to integrate products and solutions with RQM using an open framework.

If you want to import from Excel you should use the RQM Excel Import tool (which is built using the API). It is available from the "All Downloads" portion of the RQM download area on jazz.net. Direct links to current:
