Categories added to the Process Configuration source are missed
I need to add two Test Plan categories on RQM 4.0
The steps I followed were:
1) I created a development Project Area, Added the XML code below, inside the tag "<categories>" -belonging to the "initialization" section- and saved the Project Area.
<category name="Functional Types of Test" scope="TestPlan">
<value name="Not Applicable"/>
<value name="Audit and Controls" />
<value name="Conversion" />
<value name="(User) Documentation and Procedures" />
<value name="Error Handling" />
<value name="Function"/>
<value name="Installation"/>
<value name="Interface / Inter-system"/>
<value name="Parallel"/>
<value name="Regression"/>
<value name="Transaction Flow"/>
<value name="Usability"/>
</category>
<category name="Structural Types of Test" scope="TestPlan">
<value name="Not Applicable"/>
<value name="Backup and Recovery"/>
<value name="Contingency" />
<value name="Job Stream" />
<value name="Operational" />
<value name="Performance" />
<value name="Security"/>
<value name="Stress / Volume"/>
</category>
2) Extracted a process template from that project area.
3) Created a new project area using the new, recently created template.
4) Logged to the new project area, checked the "Project Properties" and created new test plans, but I was not able to see the new categories.
Additional information:
- The original process template I utilized already contains customized artifacts categories
- This exact process was followed in order to modify a different project some time ago, and we succeeded.
What am I missing? Why the same steps we utilized before are not successful now?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrea,
I used your XML piece to create a project area from where I extracted a process template to latter create a new project area based on it. The categories where copied successfully. Some thoughts:
-Did you added the xml code to your project area process configuration** before initializing? (using option "I will review my process specification..." option on creation dialog)
-In order to isolate, the categories were added to the original project area? (from where you extrated template)
-Does your template have in links tab** the path "/process/templatization/categories"?
**Only available from eclipse view.
