Running the migration wizard

You migrate your Rational® ClearQuest® Test Manager assets by running the Eclipse Export wizard.
Before you can run the Export wizard, you must install the Export plugins into the ClearQuest Eclipse client and then start the client.
To migrate your test assets:
  1. On your ClearQuest Eclipse client, click File > Database > Connect and select the database that contains your test assets.
  2. Display the Export dialog. The Export dialog that you see varies, depending on whether you are running the full Software Development Platform (SDP) version of Rational ClearQuest or the RCP client version.
    • On the SDP version, click File > Export, select the RQM > RQMExport export type, and click Next.
    • On the RCP client, click File > Export > RQM Export and click Next.

    If you are running the SDP version, you will see the following.

  3. Select the asset registry to be migrated and click Next to enter additional options.
    Note: Only asset registries can be explicitly selected.
  4. Specify the destination for the migrated test assets. You can either export to a Rational Quality Manager server or to a file system location.
    • Select Export to RQM server and provide a valid login name and password for that server.
    • Or select Export to file system and choose an export location.
      Note: After you export to a file system, you can use the Rational Quality Manager import mechanism to import the assets to a Rational Quality Manager project. See Lesson 1.3: Install sample data in the Get started with Rational Quality Manager tutorial.
  5. If you chose to export to a Rational Quality Manager server:
    1. Choose the project into which the artifacts will be migrated to.
    2. Choose the optional artifacts to migrate.
  6. Click Finish to start the migration.
The progress of the migration is displayed along with any potential errors encountered during migration. If you are not satisfied with the migration results, you can customize the field mappings and migrate again.
