Take a look at the excellent samples that are part of the install.

Look for descriptions regarding XLSArtifactID on the utility page. I believe that's what you're looking for.

hi,
you can specify the the existing testplan XLSArtifactID and using testplan.XLSLink=testcase to add testcases to the testplan.

and in the new version of Excel Importer(to be release planned RQM4.0 M8),
if there's testcase and testscript,
use testplan.testcase=testcases instead of testplan.XLSLink=testcase

Hi Hao Wan

When I tried to link test cases to an existing test plan as you suggested, the existing testplan apppeared to get overwritten - all category values were set back to Unassigned and all previously linked test cases were no longer linked.
The testplan portion of the config file is below. Do you see something wrong?

testplan.XLSArtifactID=B2
testplan.dc:title=B3
testplan.XLSLink=testcase

Using just:
testplan.XLSArtifactID=B2
testplan.XLSLink=testcase

results in the same behavior. Any test cases linked to the test plan prior to the upload are no longer linked.

What else can we try?

This capability is now available in 4.0.1.  Search for "LinkExisting" here:

 I used this,


testcase.testplan=LinkExisting(1428)

Or 

testcase.testplan=LinkExisting("urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan:1428")

Excel Importer Utility is throwing an error. It is not working. Any suggestions ?

Error: Error: Configuration File, Line 58, Found a value that reduced to "LinkExisting(1428)", but was expecting a value equivelant to a column, cell, or literal.

Exporting Aborted: Errors found!
