      Admin Activities? Can you explain where we can use this. If your requirement is necessary, we can add the features.

      Admin activities are less frequent.

      When some task repeats frequently its advisable to automate the process.

      I think it will take same amount of time if admin activities are automated vs manual.

      Please let me know if I am wrong.

      Well, The current API has required methods to connect to ALM, the next version would have support for RestAPI along with any user requested features.

    Hi AT,

    Thanks for the fantastic API.

    Quick question though - I'm trying to upload a zip archive containing screenshots from my automation test execution to QC 11.

    I can manually upload these zip files from the web interface, but when uploading programatically I get the 0KB modified in 1970 issue (loosely described here -http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Quality-Center-Support-and-News/Attachments-in-QC-10-get-uploaded-as-0kb-files/td-p/2391715#.UzFJy6iSyuI)

    I've checked that the zip functionality releases the archive before uploading, so its not open during the upload. I've also tried using the AttachmentFactory to addItem to the attachment collection of the testcase but instantiating it with null throws an error which prevents me then from being able to edit the fileType as mentioned here (http://www.codetweet.com/other/solved-attachments-uploading-0kb-size-almqc-using-ota/)

    Id be ever so grateful for any insight you might be able to provide.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi AT,
    I am into adding test run and adding test step now. I was able to add the Test run. This is what I used. No issues here. this correctly updated QC.
    wrapper.createNewRun(wrapper.updateResult(TestSetFolder, TestSet, Integer.parseInt(CycleID), TestCaseName,nResult),"Run "+GetCurrentDateTime(),nResult);

    But when i tried adding the addstep as
    wrapper.addStep(wrapper.createNewRun(wrapper.updateResult(TestSetFolder, TestSet, Integer.parseInt(CycleID), TestCaseName,nResult),TestCaseName,nResult),"abc", nResult, "aa", "aa", "aa");

    i got a permission error saying the below. I feel that there are some specific permission that is denied for the user that i am using. If you could tell the exact QC permission that is required for this I will be able to get that access given from my QC admin:
    com.jacob.com.ComFailException: Invoke of: Field
    Source:
    Description: You do not have the required permissions to execute this action.

      Hi AT,
      Good News.. I figured it out myself. after getting the QC admin permission I had to update the transition rules for Status[STEP]. We had few customized items set there..

      Permission setting is under Test Lab > Modify Run > Status [STEP].
      And it worked!!!

      And finally one full round of test case run which updated the test step, test run and the execution grid successfully!!.

      So you can consider my earlier issues as resolved.
      Your utility is indeed great. Thanks again.

      Hi,
      When I am creating a new Run and adding the Steps for this Run, then first I need to pass the ITestCase as one of the parameters (which I will get by updating Test Case Result). Now as a result of this, what is happening is that for the same Test Case,2 set of runs are getting created. So, is there any way to get rid of this ?

    Hi AT, Great tool and thank you a lot. Could you please confirm this tool has a capability to update result as "FAILED" for current RUNID if one step is failed?

    My scenario is - CreateNewRun with - No Run Status then start executing my script and addsteps as pass or fail if one step is failed then overall result should be fail

    With this tool I am not able to do it - am lacking of knowledge to use this tool or this tool will not support above kind of scenario

    this below code - is creating a new testrun and marked it as passed - this is my starting point
    wrapper.createNewRun(wrapper.updateResult(TestSetFolder, TestSet, TestSetID, TestCaseName,STATUS.PASSED),TestCaseName,STATUS.PASSED)

    if (somecondition) {
    addstep( addStep(stepname,expectedResult,ActualResult,"passed");)
    } else
    {
    addstep( addStep(stepname,expectedResult,ActualResult,"failed");)
    }

    the above code sets my RUNID overall result as "PASSED" evenhtough one step is failed

    I am keep trying past 2 days with different techniques but nothing works please kindly direct me

    Let me know if this is not clear

    Kind Regards

    Hello All,
    I want one help.
    Using ALM Service Wrapper ( v2.0 ), I have been trying to programmatically upload the attachment for each Test Case.
    For that we have already written the code using the ALM Service Wrapper(v2.0). But,when we execute the code, the file is getting attached to that particular Test Case, but it is devoid of any contents and also the file size is showing as 0 KB. Also in the modified column we are getting the timestamp as of 1970.

    Does anybody help please in how to resolve this?

    Just fyip,when I am manually uploading the attachments, it is behaving perfectly fine with proper file size and contents.

    Hello AT ! Nice Job. This Works perfectly to me on the first go itself without any issue. One Improvement Suggestion - See usually people create Regression Test Suite Folder in Test Plan and they Create Folders and Drag Tests and Make Folder in Test Lab. Can we make this happen automatically ? Example - If my Regression Test Plan Suite has 100 Tests, If i run Regression Automation Suite, first it should Create Folder with date n time stamp Under test lab with all 100 Tests and then update test results ?
