About this task

To migrate your test assets:

Procedure

  1. On your ClearQuest Eclipse client, click File > Database > Connect, and select the database that contains your test assets.
  2. Open the Export dialog box. The Export dialog box that opens 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 see this window.

  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 by completing one of these steps:
    • Click Export to RQM server, and provide a valid login name and password for that server.
    • 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.

Results

The progress of the migration is displayed along with any potential errors that are encountered during migration. If you are not satisfied with the migration results, you can customize the field mappings and migrate again.
Note: When migrating Rational ClearQuest test cases that refer to automated test scripts, you might see duplicate script names in the View Test Scripts window in Rational Quality Manager. You can use either script and play back the Test Execution Records successfully.
