RQM Data Storage


Bharat Patel (81123943) | asked Apr 26 '12, 11:01 a.m.
Hi,

Can you please let me know how RQM data (Project Area, Test Plan, Test Case, Test Script etc.) is saved in Derby Database and Oracle Database? Is it in Metdata Format? Request to share more details pls.

Thanks
Bharat

As Paul mentioned previously, the tables are proprietary.

While it is certainly possible to access the artifacts via an database query, this is not documented (or supported) by IBM. The table schema is not stable between releases so any queries that work in version n will very likely not work in version n+1 or n-1.

The recommended method for accessing data programatically is the use the Reportable REST API provided by RQM.

Cheers,
Patrick

RQM test resources are stored in the repository database, configured during install/setup. The tables are proprietary. However, you can access RQM test resources using the RQM Reportable REST API:

Thanks Paul.

So Does that mean, Test Artifacts i.e.which we are going to create in RQM like Unit Test Plan, System Test Plan , Test Cases, Test Scripts (including Test Steps) is going to store in Oracle Database? If so can i access the these Test Artifacts from oracle Databse by firing Select Query ? or can i view the test artifacts in Oracle database?

Yes, they stored in the Oracle DB. RQM recommends not accessing the DB directly, but rather through the RQM Reportable REST (http://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi) and/or OSLC QM (http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/QmSpecificationV2) APIs
