How to copy categories with RQMCopUtility between projects
Hello
I've defined some new Categories for a Test Plan artifact in my project "Template Prj". How can I copy these new categories in a different project, using the RQMCopyUtility? I was expecting them to be "copied" underway when copying a Test Plan from the "template project" to another, but it seems this is not the case. So I assume I need to explicitely copy them, but I don't see a specific option for this... thanks in advance |

Hi @pmarella,
category and categoryType is not supported by RQMCopyUtility currently. you can use -la, or -listArtifactTypes to display the supported artifacts. one way is using RQM ExcelImporter if you have ever use the tool, if not I don't suggest to use it as it'll take you some time to be familiar with it. and currently I didn't find any better ways to do the copy. if anyone else knows a better way, please go ahead.

See this topic in the infocenter
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.rational.test.qm.doc%2Ftopics%2Ft_copyproject.html If you only want to copy categories, edit copySettings.bat to comment out the PUT call and the deletion of the settings file (lines 165 and 167 for me). Run copySettings.bat. Open the settings file it generates. Carefully delete everything but the com.ibm.rqm.category value. Edit copySettings.bat again to comment the GET call and uncomment the PUT call. Run it again. Do not attempt this in a production environment without being comfortable with what it does on a test system. |
