Data and project imports

If you add the ALMProject and ALMWork packages to your existing schema, you must perform the data imports which are provided as part of ClearQuest® ALM. You may also want to perform the project imports which are provided.

If you are importing data from a nonALM database, you must create import files for that data. See Mandatory fields for ALM record types for the mandatory fields for each record type.

  • Queries are provided in the packages.
  • Log in as admin to import records and email rules. You must have super user or schema designer privileges and be a member of the ALMAdmins record to import ALM records and email rules.
  • Import the data needed to support the packages.
  • After importing the SecurityPolicyEveryone record, modify the SecurityPolicy Ratl_context_groups to include all appropriate user groups.
  • On window 3 of the Import utility, leave the State field blank and specify the Name field for all record types except for following:
    • SecurityPolicy import does not support setting context groups, so you need to manually set this after the import.
    • Project should have the current state specified for the State field, and the Name field should have OldID. Modify the Category just imported and update CurrentProject to the Project just imported.
    • ResolutionCode should have no value for Name field. Respond No to the prompt.
    • ALMType should have no value for Name field. Respond No to the prompt.
