How to import Defects into RQM? XML Format?

Hi Ana,
the ExcelImport Tool is for Test Items only.

There is a way to import defects to RQM by sending an XML-file via POST-request to the Work Item API.
You would need a tool which can create HTTP-Requests (f.e. cUrl).
I never did it myself, but one of our partners claims, that he successfully created defects this way.

You should read the Documentation of the Work Item API:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ResourceOrientedWorkItemAPIv2

Under "Querying Work Items" you see how to query work items via the URL. You'll get a defect in XML-format.

Hope this helps you, good luck.

You should be able to use the RTC import since RQM defects are Jazz
defects. See the "Import from CSV files" section in
http://jazz.net/library/techtip/69

Hi,

Is there any automatic way to import defects from external files? IS
there any standard XML format (as with plans and test cases)to import them?


Could I use the ExcelImportUtility for this?

Thanks,
