Hello, I just installed the free "HPQC 12.20 Community Edition",
see my fanpage

How to import the demo project, with "HPQC 12.20 Community Edition"?
********
Download for HPQC 12.20:
http://hpln.hp.com/page/almdemo-project
In opposite to HPQC 11.52 and 12.00, the demo project is not supplied with the ISO image.
Result:
With “HPQC Community Edition 12.20”, I failed to import any project with my “HPQC”.
I followed the instructions in the "ALM Administrator Guide" available at "Help / ALM Help" after login at the local HPQC "Site Administrator" site by my Internet browser, and I think that I understand it right.
********
At "Site Administrator" site, if I do mouse-rightclick, while a “Domain” ( e.g. the Domain “Default” ) is highlighed, the option “Import Project” is just gray and can´t be selected and so can´t be executed.
********
If anything else is highlighted, there is no option to import at all.
I managed to create a "Domain" and a project, and to export the project as .qcp file, but of course I was not able to re-import it...
Of course I expect that after I would select the import menu item, I am offered a "file selector" so that I can browse the file system to find the project file.... or am I wong with that, totally, with HPQC?
There was no difference if a project was activated or not, in a Domain.
********
So it look as if import is disabled with this edition :-(, which would be THE major drawback for the free edition :-(,
as I can`t save my results safely and recall a saved version,
nor can't I reload the project after a new installation of the operating system....
nor can'I learn from the given official demo project :-(, so learning will be very-very hard...
********
Any help is appreciated.
( I might install on another computer a trial version of HPQC 12.20 - but I am not shure how that shall help to import a project into the free edition ).
( I might also re-configure and re-distribute the HPQC application several times to several locations, on the same computer, by running the “HP ALM Server Configuration Wizard” again and again )
Might this help in any way, to overcome the assumed import barrier of the free community edition :-)?!
Sincerely
Rolf
