You migrate IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® Test
Manager assets by running the Eclipse Export wizard.
Before you begin
Before running the wizard, make sure that the following
requirements have been met:
- You must install the Export plug-ins into the Rational ClearQuest Eclipse
client, and then start the client.
- The user who runs the wizard must be a member of the Rational Quality Manager project
areas that you want to migrate the test assets to. This user must
also have the proper Client Access License. If these requirements
have not been met, the project areas will not be included in the project
list in Step 5.
About this task
To migrate your test assets:
Procedure
- On your ClearQuest Eclipse
client, click , and select the database
that contains your test assets.
- 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 , select the export type, and click Next.
- On the RCP client, click and click Next.
If you are running the SDP version, you see this window.
- Select the asset registry to be migrated, and click Next to
enter additional options.
Note: Only asset registries can
be explicitly selected.
- 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.

Lesson 1.3: Install sample data in
the

- Choose the project into which the artifacts will be
migrated.
- Choose the optional artifacts to migrate.
- Click Finish to start the migration.
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.
