Reviewing ReqIF import results
Note: ReqIF import only supports requirements and requirement documents. Other item types, such as test cases, are not supported.
After you import a ReqIF file, a results report is displayed. This report shows the ReqIF and mapping files used for import, the numbers of items imported, and messages to help with troubleshooting any problems
Results reports contain the following sections.
Header
Displays:
- ReqIF file imported
- Mapping file selected for the import based on the ReqIF file
- Number of errors and warnings identified
Item Import Count
Displays the number of documents, requirements, and links imported to Helix ALM.
Messages
Displays a list of messages generated during the import. Information is displayed in the following columns.
Severity
| Severity | Description |
|---|---|
| Fatal Error | A serious problem occurred that prevents the ReqIF Exchange Service from processing the ReqIF file. The file was not imported. |
| Error | A problem occurred that does not stop the processing of the ReqIF file, but may result in imported data being skipped or changed. |
| Warning | A potential problem was identified, but it may not have affected the import. |
| Informational | No problem was identified, but information may be useful to understand how data was imported. |
Source
| Source | Description |
|---|---|
| Helix ALM | A problem occurred in Helix ALM. |
| ReqIF file | A problem occurred with the ReqIF file. For example, a problem occurred when loading data from the file, data is missing in the file, or a formatting issue exists. |
| Mapping file | A problem occurred with the mapping file. For example, a mapping to an invalid value exists. |
Resolution
| Resolution | Description |
|---|---|
| Auto-corrected | A problem occurred, but it was likely automatically fixed and data was imported correctly. For example, a text field had to be truncated because of character limits in a field. |
| Not imported | A problem occurred and the data was not be imported. For example, a numeric value exceeded the maximum length in the mapped Helix ALM field and could not be truncated. |
| No change | Informational message. For example, the mapping file contains an identifier that does not exist in the ReqIF file and was ignored during import. |
