PK92137: NO SCRIPTS FROM IMPORTED TESTMANAGER PROJECT IN ROBOT STANDALONE PROJECT

APAR status

• Closed as user error.

Error description

• ISSUE:
  Import Assets from existing TestManager Project does not import
  the scripts
  ENVIRONMENT:
  Robot 7.0.2.02 WITHOUT TestManager.
  You import a project in version 7.0.1 into IBM Rational Robot
  version 7.0.2.02. The computer where you import the project has
  Robot 7.0.2.02, but has not TM.
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  The import function in the Robot Project Administrator should
  import all scripts
  OBTAINED RESULTS:
  The file system does not contain the imported scripts.
  The Open Script dialog box does not display scripts.
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  Create a TestManager project in version 7.0.1 or use an existing
  project.
  Login into a computer that has Robot 7.0.2.2 but NOT
  TestManager.
  Open Robot in StandAlone mode.
  In the Select Project window click Manage to open the Robot
  Project Administrator.
  Highlight Projects, then richt-click Import Assets from
  TestManager Project.
  Browse to your Rational Suite Project, that means the
  TestManager project. Then click New.
  Fill out a project name and a path. The path is an empty folder.
  Choose the default settings and wait until the import has
  finished.
  Highlight the newly imported project, then click OK to open the
  new project.
  In the Robot user interface click File > Open > Script ...
  Observe that you cannot select a script for opening.
  OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS:
  Reproduced in-house.
  The import works if you have TM installed.
  The import works too without TM if you upgrade the assets in
  RAdmin.
  You cannot upgrade the assets in RAdmin without TM installed.
  Then you get the following error:
    Unable to upgrade. Failed to get exclusive access to the
  Datastore. Please have all users log out and try again.
  WORKAROUND
  No workaround

Comments

• No code change required. Proivded the following information
  to the customer waiting for confirmation.
  
  
  Following are the steps to import earlier TM project into
  Robot 703. Simiilar steps can be followed for Robot 7022 and
  earlier version of TM
  
  TM has been declared EOL. Robot 703  cannot be installed
  with earlier TM version.
  Solution to this problem.
  TM 7022 or earlier version is already installed on a machine
  say A.
  Install Robot 703 on a different machine say B.
  
  On machine B do the following
  Create a new standalone project.
  Goto manage projects while starting  Robot.
  Then right click and select Import Assets from Test Manager
  project
  This will popup Import Assets dialog box.
  select the TM ,rsp file for the Rational suite project using
  UNC path or by mapping a drive to machine A on which TM
  project resides.
  select the  newly created standalone .project file for the
  Robot project file
  Press ok.
  Now your TM projects from machine A has been imported as
  standalone project in machine B.
  
  Now you can use machine B itself. If you are particular
  about using machine A do the following on machine A.
  Rename the project directory of TM project.
  Uninstall TM
  Install Robot 703.
  Select existing project as standalone project form machine B
  (which was newly created and imported the TM project).
