Migration/Import of Links

We have added a tools for link migration. As a first way to migrate links, Smartfacts can read an XML file with the following structure:

<codeBeamerMigration ModelName="C:\<Path_to_file>\file.qea" 
    DoorsModule="Doors Module" 
    codeBeamerTracker="CB-Tracker Name"> 
    <MappingSet LinkType="Trace"> 
      <Doors id="Doors_Id, eg. id.12345"/> 
      <CODEBEAMER id="CodeBeamer Id, eg. 12345" name="Name of CB Element 1" /> 
      <EA guid="EA GUID, e.g. {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxx}"/>
    </MappingSet> 
    <MappingSet LinkType="Trace"> 
      <Doors id="Doors_Id2/>
      <CODEBEAMER id="CodeBeamer Id 2" name="Name of CB Element 2"/> 
      <EA guid="EA GUID 2"/> 
    </MappingSet> 
    ...
</codeBeamerMigration>

The Doors id is the original id of a requirement. The Codebeamer id is the new id. The EA guid is the guid of the model element which is to be linked.

Import Links in the main menu will open the following window that allows to specify the details for importing links from an XML file:

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that /item/{} is used as path in the Target URI Pattern, otherwise the links will be created, however they will be not displayed at the corresponding Codebeamer items.

The Import Links menu item is only visible to Project Owners
