RRC Audit history report between given dates for all requirements within a collection
RRC Artifacts will be snapshot'ed in the start date & end date. We need consolidated changes to the requirement between 2 snapshots. Difference in Primary Text, Attributes between the start date and end date (or snapshot) should only be reported. Report need not appear in a chronological order of date of change & the modifier; we are interested only on the content that has changed and not the date of change or the modifier. This is required to analyze the changes to requirement between 2 requirements release.
Links created and deleted in this time period is also be reported. Currently in RRC 3.0.1.1, Reports –> Audit Report provides the complete history of the artifact; this report (3.0.1.1 & 4.0) does not provide changes to Primary Text. Configuration Management style of comparison is preferred (though not mandatory) for Primary Text where addition & deletions are marked in BLUE & RED colors. Currently we are using RRC 3.0.1.1. If not possible in 3.0.1.1, we can look at upgrading. Complimentary tools of CLM, like RRDG & RRDI is also an option. Please provide a method to implement this. |

As for RRDG, you can create your own custom report based on the Audit History report, but you can't access the Primary text changes for a report.
The Reportable REST API exposes history of an artifact and you can use startDate and endDate to limit the period of time of the history, this is already implemented on the Audit History report so you can take a look there to get some ideas. Unfortunately RRDI doesn't have access to the history changes of the artifacts and there is no tool I know of to do this as well. Comments @edgarv, Thanks for the info. Any sample or related code to implement this can be starting point for me.
@edgarv, can we select a start date & end date in RRDG for audit history ? will RRDG report changes to links between the given date period ?
Yes, both are parameters you can configure on the RM wizard and it will display changes for tags, attributes, links, and folder changes.

FYI: Now it does not directly provide the capability you need but with the recent release of RRC, it is possible to compare two versions of a collection, where if there is an artifact in the collection for which the primary text has changed it will flag that artifact and you can click an option to see those changes.
