Migrating Excel Content Into Composer 2.0
HELP. I need to know if there is a way to bring existing Excel based (requirement spreadsheets) content into Composer 2.0. I have tried 'cut and paste' but that doesn't allow me to use 'Mark as Requirement' composer functionality since multiple Excel cells = 1 requirement. I have a lot of old documentation that needs to be brought in to Composer so I need an efficient method to do this. Please advise.

There are two round-about ways to do this at the moment:
1. Use CSV import from RequisitePro and sync the requirements to RRC 2. Consider doing it pro grammatically following the approach in the RRC sample code as explained here. And yes, it's a priority to make this much easier! Daniel |
Hi. If you have access to the IBM RAM (internal), you'll find a macro available for MS Excel that allows you to export a MS Excel spreadsheet into a RRC archive.
You then just need to upload the archive into your RRC project. |
Just out of curiosity, could you tell me who supports this please because I don't believe anyone in RRC development is aware of this macro and thus we won't be able to help if anyone has problems using it.

Hi could you tell me what is IBM RAM? RAM is the IBM Rational Asset Manager, which is an asset repository fostering reuse and asset governance/lifecycle. We have an IBM-wide RAM repository that we use internally to publish, organize and share resuable assets (documents, code, and various other kinds of interesting stuff). I've heard that it's used by well over 100,000 people. If your organization doesn't have something like that, I suggest you take a look on jazz.net and ibm.com. I imagine the question behind your question is "So how do I get this stuff if it's in your RAM repository?" And frankly, I'm not sure. Does anyone else know (or have a suggestion here)? |

Probably the best answer is to contact your local IBM local sales team, who can work with the author to get permission of use, at your own risk, as it which will not be supported by IBM Tech Support or Development |
