RQM: Can you import the population of Artifact Categories where one is a subcategory of the other?


Alexander Dawson (2542328) | asked Oct 16 '12, 3:54 p.m.

This is typically done in "Manage Project Properties"

From an automated perspective, using the Excel Import tool, is it possible to:

1)  Populate two Artifact Categories with values
2)  Set the appropriate subcategory relationships between the values in each column.

Creating the categories and configuring one to be a parent of the other doesn't need to be automated by the import.  It's just all of the values in each category I'd like to import.

REST API support importing category See RqmApi
If you are importing the artifact say Testcase and category is defined on it. RQM will help to create category on import as a side effect

Hi Alexander,
Excel Importer support this scenario, you can refer to the sample “Categories and Types”
currently there's a defect
Excel Importer - Categories and Types.xls sample failed due to category type must create before category (74887)
you can export the sample twice as a work around to export category with hierachy.

Yes, thast possible.
You may define your categories and their values in 'Manage Test Case Categories'.
Then map this category in the configuration file.
Example: testcase.category term="Sub Service".value=J.

This should import the values under the category 'Sub Service'.

Hope this helps!!

Best Regards
Rajat
