How restore ALM database project in SQL server from a network drive?

Dear Customer,

 

Here is one option that can be used to restore project database backups from a network drive. Useful when moving databases from one SQL server to another :

 

Locate the backup file in shared file system accross the network

   RESTORE FILELISTONLY

   FROM DISK =N'\\172.16.5.1\Shared Content\Viviana Ortiz\default_X_Test_db.BAK'

The above command will inspect the Back and list the number of objects contained.
To restore from a COPY_ONLY backup, use a command similar to the following:
 

RESTORE DATABASE [default_X_Test_db] –-name your database

FROM DISK = N'\\Server\Shared Folder\Folder\default_X_Test_db.BAK'

WITH FILE = 1

    , MOVE N'default_cfi_nextgen_db'

        TON'F:\Restore\databases files folder\default_X_Test_db.MDF'--the restore target directory for MDF

    , MOVEN'default_X_Test_db_log'

        TON'F:\Restore\databases files folder\default_X_Test_db.LDF' --the restore target directory for LDF

      --If you need to restore a full text search catalog find the name with the previous command and add another line as ldf and mdf

    , NOUNLOAD, STATS = 10

Same steps can apply to the management database .

Hi, I am very new to VB code.  I am trying  to connect to QC 11 using OTA API. I am using Windows 7 64-bit OS. I read lots for blogs and  I find out the OTA doesn't work  in 64-bit OS. 

This is what I am going to do. I will create a .vba file and try to run from commadline. 

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe qctest.vbs

 

This is the code I am using that I got from the  internet.

 

 

Public Sub ConnectToQC(ByVal ServerName, ByVal Domain, ByVal Project)

Dim QCServer, UserName, Password, QCConnection
QCServer = "http://hpqc.xxxx.com/qcbin/"
UserName = "xxxxx"
Password = "xxxxx"
Domain = "test"
Project = "test_project"

Set QCConnection = CreateObject("TDApiOle80.TDConnection")
QCConnection.InitConnectionEx QCServer
QCConnection.login UserName, Password
QCConnection.Connect Domain, Project

Set ConnectToQC = QCConnection
If (QCConnection.LoggedIn <> True) Then
MsgBox "QC User Authentication Failed"

End Sub

 

I am running with 32-bit command  but I don't know whether it is connecting to QC or  not. 

 

Kindly help me how to find out  and how to connect QC with VB code.

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I am working with enterprise edition license on ALM which does not come with template cross project customization feature.Also, creation of a project using a template is disabled.

I have imported a qcp file of a template with all customization that I need.I am also able to login to the template.

Now, since CPC is not available with enterprise edition, how can I set the customization of my project exactly like that of this template?

Any help appreciated.

TS_STATUS field not updating after changing list of values for test status

February 2, 2015, 7:40 am

Long story short is that I think we broke something.

 

We are new to QC and BPT.  Not realizing the tight integration with BPT we deleted and changed some of the test status values in list under QC customizations.  Now BPT statuses (TS_STATUS) are not being updated in the TEST table.  We have tried adding the values (Ready, maintenance, etc) back to the list of values but the TS_STATUS field still does not update.

 

My main troubleshooting path right now is that the test "form" in QC loads correctly with the correct status.  However, that status does not get written to the "TS_STATUS" field in the database.  so where is the form loading that value from?  is it real-time?

Cut and Paste of Requirements retains wrong review Status....

February 2, 2015, 11:40 am

I have a need to set the Review Status of a Requirement to "New" when a new requirement is pasted from an existing one.

Currently the status is always set to the same as the requirement you are copying from.

 

What I thought of doing was this:

1) In ActionCanExecute in Common Script I am testing for Requirements.Paste.

2) If it is found then I set a global variable (CopyReq) to "Yes"

3) In the Requirements module in the Sub Req_MoveTo I added a line testing for the value of the variable and if it = "Yes" then I set the Status and reset the variable:

     If CopyReq = "Yes" then
         Req_Fields.Field("RQ_REQ_REVIEWED").Value = "New"
         CopyReq = "No"
     end if

 

This works ok sort of, but I now have 2 history entries of changing the Status when I really just wanted it to be created as New. I am concerned this will ask the question of why did x change the state?

 

Any ideas?

ALM 11.52 Automail Setup

February 2, 2015, 10:05 am

Hello Folks,

 

I was looking for some information related to ALM automail setup.I was trying to create an automail condition from defects module.Basically trying to trigger an email to specific user group based on specific status change.

Ex:I have Status values as New,Open,Fixed,Assign to BA,Assign to Dev,Rejected,Closed etc and I have custom user groups as Dev,QA,UAT,PM,BA etc.I was looking for a way to implement the condition as When status is modified and set to "Assign to BA" an email should be sent to the user group "BA","PM" like wise if the status is modified and set to "Assign to Dev" then an email should be sent to the user group "Dev","PM".I don't think so these can be achieved via Automail feature in ALM,correct me if I am wrong.So planning to go through workflow and looking for some inputs.

 

1.I suppose this has to be in Bug_After post action.Looking for any sample codes that can help to implement this condtion.

2.If I go by the workflow channel of sending mails,do i need to switch off the "Send Automail feature" at the project level in site admin for that project??,If not would there be any conflicts in using both automail and workflow mail??

3."From_email_address"  in siteadmin--Should we create a separate and valid email account for this or could we use a tduser@xyz.com??Just wondering if we create a separate mail account and mails coming from ALM should reflect this from email ID,do we need any extra configuration or simply setting the site parameter with this new account would do??

4.Is there an option to set a from email adrress at a specific project level too in workflow code??,if so it would be helpful if you can provide any sample code.

 

Thanks,

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I have searched and not found any posts relating to this.

 

I am using HPALM 11.00 and every time I open a defect, just by double clicking on it in the list, the defect opens in a modal browser window.  This makes it difficult to work with multiple defects at the same time.  Is there any way around this behavior?  I would rather have defects open in a separate tab.

Error 401 QCSession cookie missing from request

I am using the REST API examples as prvoided by QC12.0 . I can successfully authenticate and login to QC12 from my java application using the examples provided in the ALM docs.

However I am unable to read or update as per ALM12 examples as I am always getting http 401 error or misising the QCSession cookie.

 

The restconnector code seems to be ok as it suppose to read the implicit cookie from the response and update the cookie for a POST or GET operation.

 

When I try the command from the browser manually  I can see the QCSession cookie. However, the restconnector code is unable to read/see. The code can see LWSSO cookie during login process but not the QCSession cookie.

 

Do you have any advise ?

When member of custom group attemps to "Add users from Site",  they are getting an error "EXTERNAL COMPONENT HAS THROWN AN EXECPTION".

 

Any one know how to fix this?   We want to restrict user access,  but also allow them to perform some of the duties to lessen load on the HP Site Admin.

Hi,

 

We are facing issue in one of our project having double space issue. Whenever user adds any description to Test case, it keeps on adding double blank lines:

 

Example(Before):

This is test.

This is test for the double blank spaces.

 

Example(now):

 

 

This is test.

 

 

This is test for the double blank spaces.

 

********************************************************

 

Code for Test_MoveTo is:

 

Sub Test_MoveTo
  On Error Resume Next
   'Test_Fields("TS_DESCRIPTION").Value= Replace (Test_Fields("TS_DESCRIPTION").Value, "</html>")
   'Test_Fields("TS_DESCRIPTION").Value= Replace (Test_Fields("TS_DESCRIPTION").Value, "<html>")
   'Test_Fields("TS_DESCRIPTION").Value=""
   Text=Replace(Test_Fields("TS_DESCRIPTION").Value, "<Html> <Body>","",1)
   Text=Replace(Text, "</Body> </HTML>","",1)
   ignoreHtmlFormat=True
   On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

 

We added IgnoreHTML=True because there was HTML tags appearing in Test case description field.

If I comment to the line ignoreHtmlFormat=True, double blank space space issue gets resolved, but HTML tags appear in the test case description field.

 

Please help.
