Multiple iterations of same test case

In Rational Test Manager when adding a Test Case to a Test Suite there was an option (via Run Properties) of setting an iteration count so that when the suite was run that particular test case was executed multiple times.
Is there equivalent functionality in RQM ? i.e. is there some way for me to run the same test case multiple times just by adding it once to a suite and setting an iteration count somewhere (as opposed to adding the test case multiple times to the same suite) ?

No this isn't possible in RQM.

I need to run multiple test suites from Rational test manager. The only way I can see to do this is via Test execution schedule however I cannot get RQM to execute anything from a test execution schedule.

I have created a test execution schedule and set time etc with just 1 test suite. There was nothing executed as I check the execution console and nothing.

I need to be able to execute a number of test suites for an overnight test run.
This functionaly was availbale in test manager..is it possible in Rational Quality manager?

In reference to paulsandie original question.

There's no way to add a test case to a test suite and set an iteration count. However, you can add the same test case to the test suite multiple times. So if you know how many times you want the same test case to run, then you just add it to your test suite that many times.

Also, I would like to hear more about why you are needing to initiate a repeating test case.

It can be a pain to add the same test case in dozens (or more) times. I used to use this with test cases that were failing intermittently to try and get an idea of the frequency of the failure.

How to run multiple test cases offline from RQM.

For e.g., there are 10 test cases associated to 1 test suite i want to run all those test cases in offline at a time and want to upload the same into RQM.

Please suggest

You can rum multiple Test Case Execution record offline.
Goto Execution -> View TER
Select all TER which you want to run offline
Make sure all selected TER have manual script only
Also max limit is 50
