Installing the RQM Importer on a PC with no Admin rights

0
Sean Griffin (21●6●6) | asked Jun 07 '11, 9:43 p.m.
I'm at a client site and planning to use the RQM Excel Importer tool.

Trouble is, our local desktop PCs here on the client's intranet have restricted access to the local hard drive. We are unable to store any files on the local hard disks.

The RQM importer tool requires Microsoft Add-Ins to be generated and associated within the Windows registry on the local computer. Access to this registry is not permitted.

Is there any way in which the tool may be operated in a standalone fashion, such that it does not need to be integrated so tightly with Microsoft Word and Excel?

Thanks,

Sean.

The tools were written using the APIs from MSWord and Excel so there's no way to use them outside of that environment. Would it be ossible for thm to get the tools installed on a secure system that they could remote access to? That may be a way to allow them to use the tool yet maintain secutity compliance.

The only other solution would be to handle the conversion to XML (see http://jazz.net/projects/rational-quality-manager/api-doc-2.0/ for the format) on another machine or using a custom utility and import the XML into RQM using the report REST API (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi) and Poster (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMUsingPoster) or the import gesture in the RQM UI.
