How to import defect?

Hi,

Do you know how one can import defects to RQM from xml or from excel?
There is an import option for requirements but it does not seem to be the same case for defects.

Thanks in advance for any hint.

The only way to import defects into RQM 2.x is to transform the defect(s) (or work item(s)) in Excel/Word to XML (see http://jazz.net/projects/rational-quality-manager/api-doc-2.0/api-files/schemas/qm_xsd/elements/workitem_2.html) and POST/PUT the work item XML using the RQM REST API (see http://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi). There is an Excel/Word importer but it does not support defects (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter). For more information on extending RQM, see http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rqmhelp/v2r0/topic/com.ibm.rational.test.qm.doc/topics/c_extendrqm.html.

I don't believe the RQM REST API allows creation/modification of work items. Instead you would need to use the RTC APIs:
