The .RTPAR file varies

Chapter 2 - Planning Tests

The date the iteration begins

The date the iteration ends

The file looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<TestAssetParcel>

</Iteration>

</TestAssetParcel>

The content of the .RTPAR file varies according and appropriate to the test asset you
export. Some tags are specific to certain assets; some are common.

Test assets with relationships have either associated assets or contained assets. For
example, two top-level folders appear on the Planning tab of the TestManager
console, Test Plans and Iterations. The test plans within the Test Plan folder are
contained assets, as are the iterations listed within the Iterations folder. Iterations and
Test Plans are associated but not contained one within the other.

When you export a test asset with relationships, you can choose to export any or all of
the related assets in their entirety, whether associated or contained, or just export the
primary asset with references to the related assets.

If you export a test asset with relationships, the .RTPAR file includes those
relationships, whether they are associated assets or contained assets. Contained asset
information is located within the parent asset tags; associated assets have the same
level as the parent asset.

Note:

To export a test asset from a previous release of TestManager, first upgrade the

datastore to the current version of TestManager; then export the asset.

For more information about the format of test asset parcel files, see Appendix D,
Rational Test Asset Parcel File Format.

To export a test asset for use in another Rational test datastore, do one of the
following:

Right-click the asset in the Test Asset Workspace and click

Export

Select an asset type to export from the
