RMsis provides a mechanism to migrate a project data across JIRA + RMsis installations, but this requires a series of steps to be followed. There are some key considerations, when migrating as mentioned below.
The primary mechanism available today is to export data as CSV file and import it in another installation in the CSV format.
However, when we migrate data across installations
hence it becomes essential to store a map of the old ID's vs new ID's; so that either can be used, when required. The CSV import process, now provides a mechanism to store old ID's as Alias.
Prerequisite for importing relationships with JIRA Issues is that
Export the requirements in a CSV file by using the "Export to CSV" icon.
Export the test cases in a CSV file by using the "Export to CSV" icon.
Export the traceability data in a CSV file by using the "Export to CSV" icon.
Click on the "CSV Import" button.
Map Id with Key Alias in Step 2 of the import process.
Click on "CSV Import" button and then on "TC Entities" to import test cases.
Map Id with Key Alias in Step 2 of the import process.
Do not map the TS- Id field while importing the CSV file (Remove mapping of TS-Id field while importing the CSV file)
Import Test Run Status using CSV file
When a user decides to import the status through a CSV import; the status of test cases with matching External Ids/Test Case Ids are updated.
2. Now upload a CSV file that contains the status of the Test cases and click on the Next Step button
3. In the next step, map the source attribute with the target attribute. Choose either the Id column or External Id column but not both.
Map Id column if this is to be used for mapping the Test Cases in CSV file. This is applicable if the instance remains unchanged.
Map External Id column if this is to be used for mapping the Test Cases in CSV file. This is applicable when the source and destination instances are different.
4. In the next step, map the status values. Check the default mappings specially TS-Status as RMsis sets it to pass if it's null or blank. Finally, click on the import button.
5. The status of Test Cases with matching Ids in the CSV file will be updated.
In case some checks (like cyclic dependency check) fail, some relationships will not be established. These will be reported in the RMsis log file. |
