Hi,

We installed Softwares (Microsoft Windows Server 2012-R2 and Oracle 12c in that). Now we are installing ALM 12.5 While Configuring the Database Server details we are getting an error "ERROR: Failed to validate database connection parameters". Here I am giving the Correct credentials(with these credentials I am able to log-in to the Oracle) but still I am getting this issue. I searched some where about this, some discussions are happening about need to enable TCP/IP connection for oracle or Windows Server how can we do that?  Could you Please Provide me the Solution for this.

Thanks,

VAPI-XP Test to update fields of Test Cases

Hi All,

I have a script that updates fields of test cases in test plan. Can I achieve the same thing using a VAPI-XP test?
Though I had been using Quality Center and OTA API (with VBA in Excel) for years, I am very new to VAPI-XP tests. Looking forward to some help to get started.

Few specific questions:
1. Since the test is run from ALM, can I use the current session and skip login?
2.What is the server I should select to achieve the above stated objective (2nd step of wizard)?
3.Can someone help with a sample python script to show me usage of objects?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

Hi,

  I am trying to install HP ALM 12.50 in Windows server 2012 R2, initially I was created Oracle database in the same machine, I created a user with admin privilages(in oracle) and created table space(default and temporary) for that user and TCP protocal is enabled on the port 1521. Now while configuring the Oracle with HP ALM 12.50 I am getting the issue of "Failed to validate database connection parameters."(please refer stack trace#1 for this).

So I set the database validations value as "false" in "validations.xml"(as per the installation documentation) and trying to re-run the application, now I am getting the issue of "Failed fetching tablespaces from Oracle database"(please refer stack trace#2).

Please help me how can I resolve this problem. Thanks in Advance.

 

Thanks & Regards

We recently patched the ALM 11.52 to patch 07 from patch 01. After we patched to 07, we had ran couple of cross customization on linked projects without any issues until now. It is giving error in Entity Subtypes  LEANFT-TEST.  FYI, we don't have this application installed in any machines. So we don't what is the cause of the issue and how to resolve it. Please help.

Style tempate headings

Hello all, I am facing an issue with the style template.  I am attempting to adjust the font for the header templates but I am finding that they won't change when I change the template, (which involves updating, uploading the template to ALM, and then pointing to the just uploaded template.)

Additionally, when the requirements are added to the rich text portion of ALM, the style template won't set the default font size.

The vitals:

(This involves generating a report from the requirements modules in ALM 11.52. Additionally, we are generating these reports into the Microsoft Word document format. In addition, I have added the style template we are using.)

 

Thanks in advance.

Project Customization: Rename item of custom list and populate change to all items that use it

February 10, 2016, 12:51 am

Hi all,

I use a lot of custom field for my different requirements types. One of the custom fields offers a selection for a rating. Currently the values are (1,2,3) and I would like to rename the items to (low, medium, high). I did that and whenever I add a new requirement or change an existing one, the new selection values appear. 

All the old existing requirements are still on the old values and were not automatically updated to the new selection. I was under the impression that internally in the DB there would be only a link to the actual visible text of the list and as soon as I update the project list in the project customnization this change would automatically populate through the whole database and through every item that is using this custom field.

Is there a way to automatically update all requirements items that use the field to now use the new values?

thanks!
Marco

Hi All!

Here is my dilemma:

We need to build views in Sharepoint and need to have data pulled automatically from HPQC DEfects Module to Sharepoint views. What we do now is use power query in Excel, build a view using that Excel in Sharepoint and what user needs to do is whenever needed to refresh data in Excel and refresh Sharepoint view.

What I am trying to achive is either

1) A way to automatically update Excel file once a day and update contents on Sharepoint 

or

2) Automatically update Sharepoint view with up to date defect information

Ideally the end result is either real time or almost real time (minimal user interaction) custom reports on sharepoint with data from HPQC.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thank you in advance!

Is it possible to set default graphs for all users as part of Live Analysis when selecting a folder within Test Plan or Test Lab?

The user guide for version 12.20 contains this comment on page 1141  "The Live Analysis graphs that you create are unique for your user login. Each project user can create Live Analysis graphs which will be visible only to that user but will not be visible to other users."

However, I know that some of the smart people on here normally find ways to get round limitations.

Is it possible to update a dashboard from a favourite view / filter?

I have a favourite filter with individual defect numbers that I keep adding defects to. I have created a dashboard for these, but am manually inputting these numbers into the filter everytime I change it.

It would be great to have the favourite view linked to the dashboard and update manually.

Can anyone help?

I am using the ALM REST API with version 12.21 and would like to get all requirements that have specific text in the requirements descrption. I can query the requirement name without any issues but not memo fields. I assume it's because the name is designated as Filterable and RQ_REQ_COMMENT (the description field) is not. Does anyone if there is way to search or filter memo fields using the REST API?
