Export Flow Diagrams to .doc or .pdf
Currently, I am using the RRC 3.0.1 sandbox, I was wondering if there is a way to export the "simple flow diagrams" and "business process diagrams" from RRC into a .doc or .pdf document, essentially capturing the flow as a picture that I can see/print out of word or adobe.
Thank you for any input/advice about this topic, Brian R. Business Analyst Accenture |

Hi Brian,
Usually you would be able to print any artifact to PDF/MS Word from the Print to icon on the RRC toolbar inside the artifact. There is a known issue for printing Simple Flow Diagrams that was already addressed on RRC 3.0.1.1. I hope that the sandbox gets this version soon. Meanwhile, I may be able to help you with a workaround to get an image for the artifacts, by tinkering a URL that retrieves the image thought the reporting API. To do that you can send me the artifact(s) id by email and I'll see what I can do. |
@edgarv, I am in a similar situation. I need to export Use Case Diagrams, Sketches, Flow Diagrams as image. Same information would be help for me. Artifact ID is 297.

@edgarv, Same information id required for me. We use RRC 3.0.1.1; I need to export Use Case Diagrams, Sketches, Flow Diagrams as image. Artifact ID of a Use Case Diagram is 297.

One workaround is to embed the artifacts you want export as images (UseCaseDiagrams, simpleflow diagrams, etc).
1. Embed the artifact into a text artifact 2. Copy the artifact UUID (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RRC3ReportServiceFAQ#Where_can_I_find_the_artifact_UR) 3. Request the text artifact trough the Reportable REST API (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RRC3ReportableRestAPI) https:///rm/publish/text?resourceURI= 4. Copy the images from the generated HTML Hope this helps you work though |
@edgarv, Thanks for the information.
I am currently doing an activity for migrating RRC project from one server to another. RRC version is 3.0.1.1. Links are excluded from this migration. All types of documents like sketches & text are included here. Can you also guide me on how to read the requirements under a particular RRC folder & how to write the same. Sample programs in this regard will be helpful. Chidambaram ALM Consultant to IBM Chidambaram@maintec.in Comments Not sure what type of migration is needed but if the artifact ID's are not needed to be maintained then you could create a project template archive, then install this project template archive on the new server and create a new project based upon the archive, without comments, reviews and OSLC links.
