Use RQM Excel Importer to import associated Test Case, Test
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/baf0f610b20562c6f692989b504e653e.jpg)
Hi All,
I am writing a .cfg file to import Requirement, Test Case and Test Script from Excel to RQM.
I am aware of the article on jazz.net (https://jazz1.torolab.ibm.com/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter). I created a sample Excel file and a cfg file according to the instructions in the article and provided examples.
But I still couldn't make the association between "test case and requirements", "test case and test scripts" to be imported into RQM.
In my sample Excel file, there are:
Requirement 1 --- Test case 1 --- Test Script 1;
Requirement 2 --- Test case 2 --- Test Script 2;
Requirement 3 --- Test case 3 --- Test Script 3;
What the I want is to link Requirement, Test Case and Test Script to each other. For example, "Requirement 1" <<link>> "Test case 1" <<link>> "Test Script 1".
I have been able to import requirements, test cases and test scripts into RQM successfully.
Now the problem is how to link **single** requirement, test case and test script to each other respectively. I tried the methods in provided sample cfg files but could make what they want.
Please see below what I have tried.
// Link test case to test script
// Below lines will link test case and test script to each other BUT also create duplicate test cases in test script's name <<<
testcase.dc:title=testscript.dc:title
testcase.dc:description=testscript.dc:description
//Link test case to requirement
//This line will link test case to ALL requirements in the xls file <<<
testcase.XLSLink=requirement
I also found that above two sections cannot be used together, otherwise the link between requirements and test case will be missing.
Any input will be appreciated.

Hi Paul,
thks for your input... can i ask for your advise on the Test Case Updater thingy?
I understand that It is tested with RQM 2.0.0.1 and applicable iFix releases only.
But now we have RQM 3.0 and I have tried but the updater ain't running on RQM 3.0. Do you have any updates on this?
Thank you
Are you referring to the RQM Excel/Word Importer (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter)?
Note, the RQM Excel/Word Importer, RQM Copy Utility, and RQM URL Utility are all shipped/supported in RQM 3.x.

Hi,
I have succefully imported artifacts linked to other artifacts using the XLSLink notation in the cfg file.
But this works only if I could import everything at the same time. What if I need to import test case and link it to an already EXISTING requirement?
Do you now if this can be done?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have the same question. Did you find a solution to the problem?

hi Andrew, the testplan linked to testcase and testscript have been fix in WI 45361
When is this ability to be released, Mike? It would be extremely useful to be able to link plans to cases to scripts. My understanding is that this WI 25869 is the solution. Is this correct?
Thank you and regards,
Andrew
Hi,
Multiple artifact linking isn't supported yet in the tool. The ability is covered in WI 25869.

Hi All,
We have one requirement for extension development in our project. We need to create work / defect automatically in RTC whenever there is test case fail in RQM. Can you please let me know how to go ahead for this solution. I have no idea on REST and other things. Can you post me the sample examples / can you post me the idea if you have already done such kind of automations between RTC and RQM

JAZZ DEVELOPER Jul 17 '12, 1:36 a.m.one way is to use Link key word to link testcase with requirement testcase.requirement=Link(A). and using self reference testcase.dc:title=testscript.dc:title to link testcase withtestscript
