Failed to import requirements with RQMExcelImporter


Steven Machtelinckx (66156) | asked Oct 07 '11, 4:31 a.m.
I'm using the RQMExcelImporter tool to import a list of requirements. When trying to import, I get following error in Mso2Rqm_Debug.log:



10/7/2011 9:54:04 AM: sending requirement0 named ReqID_001

The errors I resolved so far are:
- update the admin/admin user/pw in RQM that points to RC to an existing user.

If I export the requirements to file, the exported requirement looks fine:
(with .txt extension) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7202246/RQMExcelImporter/ReqID_001.txt

Can you give any ideas/suggestions to resolve this issue?

Please find below my config file and excel sheet.

Config file:
//---Requirements 

//Start looking for requirements after row 2
requirement.XLSStartRow=2
requirement.XLSArtifactID=A
requirement.dc:title=B
requirement.dc:description=C
//requirement.jzalm:owner=D
//requirement.dc:creator=D

requirement.XLSDelimeter=\n

All other lines are commented out

This is exactly what I did:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7202246/RQMExcelImporter/requirement_config.png

There's one catch: if I edit the 'requirement composer user password' field in RQM and save the changes, the password still looks changed (with the length of the newly provided password).
However, when I refresh that properties page again, the password has its original length again.

Having a filled in a user/password combination that has access to the RC application should do it, no? Am I missing something?

Yes, that should suffice.

Make sure you click save and the save button is greyed out before clicking refresh.

This is excactly what I do, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. I tried this before creating this thread and retested several times.

What about the password. Is it normal that saving a new password shows a masked new password with a length different from the one entered?

Thanks in advance.

Can you confirm the RRC username/password are correct?

The Advanced Properties always shows passwords as 11 dots, for security reasons.

The error message in the log implies that a name has not been provided for the requirement. Can you check to see a name has been provided for all the requirements?


Here is an extract of the log content of the qm log on the server

What concerns the password, how do I know if the password is correct? I'm able to connect with that user and password to the Jazz Team server. Is that sufficient?

About the requirement name you were right. I fixed this but I get the same result. I'm setting both the name and title now. Here is my new input:

config:
//---Requirements
//Start looking for requirements after row 2
requirement.XLSStartRow=2
requirement.XLSArtifactID=A
requirement.dc:name=B
requirement.dc:title=B
requirement.dc:description=C
//requirement.jzalm:owner=D
//requirement.dc:creator=D

requirement.XLSDelimeter=\n


Is "requirement.dc:name=B" the correct way of setting the requirement name? (given that column B contains the something)
