Having trouble mapping / importing CQ Audit Trail to RTC
I had this working at one point, but seem to have broken it and can't figure out how to get it working again. I'm using RTC v3.0 iFix1.
I've been using this link to determine how to map the CQ audit trail: Guide to migrating defects from Rational ClearQuest to Rational Team Concert 2.0 In CQ, I'm including the at_field_history.audit_trail_text in the query results. I can see the data is getting included in the exported *.xml records in the *.zip file being created with the RTC CQ Importer. The audit trail data looks something like this:
I have the following entry in my mapping file:
In Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Work Items > Types and Attributes, I defined a custom attribute:
In Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Work Items > Editor Presentations, I added the new attribute to a section on an existing tab:
When I import the *.zip file that was exported from CQ, the field shows up on the tab as "Audit Trail", but no data shows up in it. If I add Any suggestions? I know what I'm trying to do will work, as it was working at one point. I just can't seem to figure out how to get it working again. |

Hi Gerry,
I followed the example you provided and was able to import the CQ Audit Trail field to RTC (I'm using 3.0.1). Since your zip file contains the correct data and your mapping field looks correct, I'm wondering if the data is being imported but there is a problem with your display. Could you create a query that returns records with the Audit History fields? I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, but I created a new query, clicked the "Add Conditions..." button, checked the "Show custom" check box from the pop-up dialog, selected my Audit History attribute, and clicked the OK button. Next, I clicked the "Add Conditions..." button, selected Full Text, and clicked the OK button. I set the Full Text field to something that appears in my Audit History (====START====). Running this query returned the correct records. I'm not sure which tab you displayed the field on, but I placed mine under Overview > Details and right between the Tags field and the Separator. The field shows up as a single line, but I could scroll to see the value. Here are the settings I used when I added the attribute:
Let me know if this helps, or if we need to compare environments some more. |

Matthew,
Thanks for your response. I was playing around with this some more, based on your input. What I ended up discovering was that the "Read-only" check box in the Edit Custom Attributes dialog box must mean "don't let me import data into this field" as opposed to "don't let users modify this field while it's being displayed", as that's the way it seems to behave. I remember checking this flag last week after I got the Audit History data to display correctly, as I didn't want users to modify it. Then came the long weekend and I forgot all about doing that. Once I unchecked the Read-only field in the attribute, the import started working fine again. Apparently, to make the display read-only, what I really needed to do was to go to Editor Presentations and set Read-Only to "True" there instead of "Inherit from Attribute" with the attribute being Read-only. Thanks for your help! |
