Failed to import requirements with RQMExcelImporter
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: EXCEPTION: : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 10/7/2011 9:54:04 AM: at Mso2Rqm_Common.RQMConnector.PutToServer(String url, String data) at RQMExcelExporter.ExcelExportRepositoryDialog.doExport(IList`1 artifacts) 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 All other lines are commented out Excel sheet with requirements: |

What versions of RQM and the RQM Excel/Word Importer are you using?
|
These are the versions I'm using:
RQMExcelWordImporter -> 3.0.1 RQM, JTS, RC -> 3.0.1 |
Here is an extract of the log content of the qm log on the server

Please see footnote #2 at https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter#Supported_Resources.

Please see footnote #2 at https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RQMExcelWordImporter#Supported_Resources. This is exactly what I did: 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. |
Yes, that should suffice. 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?

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 Is "requirement.dc:name=B" the correct way of setting the requirement name? (given that column B contains the something) excel: Thanks in advance! |
