Downloading artefacs
Hi,
ist it possible in RRC 2.0.0.3 to download artefacts from Server without its corresponding links?
I want to download Use cases, which are already defined in one project, then upload them in another project. New links will be defined then in new project.
Any idea, how i can do it?
regards
Parviz

Hi Parviz,
Links that you've created within your artifacts are actually stored within the content of the artifact. So when you download it, the details about the link are still there, even if after you upload, what that link references is not there.
But maybe I'm not understanding precisely what you mean. What do you mean when you say that new links will be defined in the new project?
Let's try a scenario and see how it matches what you want to do:
- Assume you have artifact A with a link to artifact B in project 1
- download the two artifacts
- if you download/upload them individually (to project 2), then they will not be linked to each other. In fact, the "new" A in project 2 is probably still linked to the "old" artifact B in project 1 (if it's the same server)
- if you download/upload them as an archive, then the "new" A in project 2 will be linked to the "new" B also in project 2. the archive upload process with fix up links based on what's in that archive
Is that last statement what you are trying to achieve or have I misunderstood the question?

Hi svandijk,
thank you for the answer. you understood me right. I wanted to copy an artefact from project1 to project2 without any integrated link-information. This is not possible. As you explained the "new" artefact A in project2 is still linked to B in project1 (all on the same server).
All i need is a way to copy defined artefacts in one project to another projects to reuse them without any Link information.

Yeah, that's not currently possible because you're effectively asking the upload to delete content from your artifact. That is, if you had a rich text document with a hyperlink to another document, it would be asking the upload to remove the hyperlink and that feature does not exist.
