Session Reconnect

When your Quality Center session is inactive for a period of time, the session expires. Previously, this required you to log out and log in again, which includes reloading project customization.

Now, when your session expires, you are prompted to reconnect. If the project administrator has not made any significant changes to the project customization, the customization does not reload, enabling you to reconnect quickly and continue working where you left off.

For more information on Session Reconnect, see HP Software Self-solve knowledge base article KM1031602 http://support.microfocus.com/kb/kmdoc.php?id=KM1031602

Hierarchical view improvements

There were several changes in the Go To Entity algorithm in the Requirements and Test Lab modules that improves performance of the first module loading and Go To operation. Improvements consist in the reducing of the round-trips to the server when we build the tree of entities.

QC Sense

Site administrators can now utilize usage and performance data to analyze Quality Center performance behaviors from the user perspective. For example, you can look at the time it takes from the user's click of a button until the desired response is received.

QC Sense collects data on user actions performed in the Quality Center user interface, and monitors all client and server activity resulting from those actions. You can examine a single user activity and its resulting server and database activities, as well as comparing average system response analyzed by user action, server transaction and many other parameters.

Enhancements

Windows 7 64- bit

Windows 7 64-bit is now certified for Quality Center 10.00.

The following section describes how to prepare and configure Windows 7 for client-side installation. The following section is also applicable for Vista clients.

Note: There is a major difference between usage and installation. Installation should always be performed with administrator privileges. However, logging in as an administrator does not provide administrator rights. For both installation methods – browser or MSI – you must specify that the installation is to be run as administrator. More details are provided below.

To work with Windows 7 64-bit:

1. The following must be installed prior to Quality Center 10.00 client installation:Prerequisites.

a. Microsoft Installer version 3 or later

b. Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 or later

c. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 and higher

d. CAPICOM 2.1.0.2.

e. For rich content and Document Generator: MS Office 2003 or 2007 (preferable due to DEP issue)

f. For Document Generator: MS XML 3.0

2. :Uninstall previous versions

a. Previous installations of Quality Center must be completely removed, including unregistering and deleting all modules.

b. If the previous version was installed with MSI (Quality Center client side): Uninstall using the MSI installer. Make sure to also remove the spider.

c. If the previous version was installed using the browser (i.e. Spider): You must unregister (regsvr32.exe -u) all components and spider, for example, from “Program Files\Common Files\Mercury Interactive\Quality Center”.

d. Quality Center Client Installation:

1. Quality Center Client Side (i.e. MSI) installation: The MSI installation should be initiated from a command line prompt, run as an administrator.

2. Internet Explorer installation (i.e. Spider): The installation should be initiated from Internet Explorer, run as an administrator.

3. Quality Center 10.00 should not be installed using elevation.

Note: If the installation is initiated from an IE/Command Line Prompt and not run as administrator, the following may occur: Quality Center will keep retrying to download components, and report failings in either downloading the components, opening downloaded files, or registering components.

3. : You can install using client-side installation, Internet Explorer or Quality Center Explorer.Installation Procedure

Quality Center 10.00 Client Side installation:

1. Login to the Windows 7 or Vista machine as either an Administrator or as a standard user.

2. Obtain and save a copy of QCClient.MSI in a temporary folder.

3. Run an administrator Command Prompt shell (i.e. CMD.exe): (Note: Without explicitly running the command prompt as admin, the installation will fail.)

a. For an interactive user: Choose Start > Programs > Command Prompt, right-click and choose Run as Administrator.

b. If an elevation prompt window opens, provide credentials (i.e. User Name and Password of an Administrator user) if needed, or click ‘Continue’.

4. In the command prompt window, navigate to the temporary folder where the QCClient.MSI file had been previously saved (3.1.b).

5. Run QCClient.MSI from that command prompt.

6. Follow the Quality Center 10.00 installation wizard instructions.

Quality Center 10.00 Internet Explorer Installation:

1. Run Internet Explorer by right clicking the IE icon, and choosing ‘run as an Administrator’ (see also: step 3.1.c above as an example). If requested, provide credentials.

2. Browse to the Quality Center Server URL. Quality Center downloads and installs automatically.

Quality Center Explorer Installation:

1. Save a copy of QCExplorerAddIn.exe in a temporary folder, or download it to a temporary folder from a Quality Center Server site.

2. Run an administrator Command Prompt shell (see item 3.1.c).

3. Switch off DEP (Data Execution Prevention. For details, refer to the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention):

a. On the administrator command prompt – execute:
bcdedit /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

b. Restart the machine

4. Validate DEP is switched off by executing bcdedit.exe on an administrator Command Prompt. The ‘nx’ property value should be AlwaysOff.

5. In the Administrator Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where QCExplorerAddIn.exe is located, and run it.

6. Follow the installation instructions.

7. After the Quality Center Explorer Add-in installation is completed, the DEP level can be restored to its previous level.
For example, if the previous DEP level was OptIn, run the following command in the Administrator Command Prompt:
bcdedit /set {current} nx OptIn

4. Quality Center 10.00:Running

a. For a standard user (i.e. non-admin user) running Internet Explorer, the Quality Center server site URL must be added to the Trusted Sites security zone. Protected Mode for that zone must be disabled (this is the default for that zone).

1. Open Internet Options > Security Tab. Add the Quality Center server site to the Trusted Sites security zone.

2. Disable (uncheck) Protected Mode for the Trusted Site security zone.

b. A fully privileged user, i.e. an Administrator user, can run Quality Center 10.00 client with either Internet Explorer, or QCExplorer.

c. Note: If an administrator user fails to run Quality Center after a successful installation, it might mean that UAC (User Account Control) is switched off. (See link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control for details). When UAC is disabled, Administrator users’ access to the Temp folder is blocked. In this case, a blank IE window opens after navigating to the Quality Center URL.

5. :Notes

MSI and Spider installation should never be used on the same Vista machine.
When re-installing a Quality Center client of the other type (i.e. MSI/Spider) on a machine with Quality Center, the previous installation must be completely removed, and all existing modules must be unregistered and deleted before re-installing. (Common symptoms include: Quality Center window hanging or blank before login, Quality Center hanging while trying to open the VAPI-XP Test Script tab, repeated attempts at downloading, and others).

Deletion of the client side components is not sufficient. Components must be unregistered.

· Regular (COM) components should be unregistered using Regsvr32 /u

· For .NET components use Regasm /u

· Remove spider:

In Internet Options > Programs > manage add-ons, delete Loader class v5, or any Loader Class v*

In some cases, Vista might keep copies of components in places the user is not aware of. If there are problems after installation and uninstalling is not helpful, search for all Quality Center components on the client machine (File System and Registry). Remove all Quality Center related components.

Excel reports

Defect ID: QCCR1J12074

Problem: Usage of parameters in Excel reports did not conform to prepared statements.

The following describes Excel Reports SQL Writing Rules. These rules derive from Quality Center 10.00 changes, where the former literal SQL is replaced by prepared statements.

1. Parameters can be used as possible column values only (WHERE part).

2. Parameter can be used for a single value only (and not as a list of possible values).

3. Parameter cannot be used for multiple values substitution.
For example:
This following SQL statement is incorrect:
Select * from BUG where BG_BUG_ID in (@p@), p=1,2,3

The correct form is:
Select * from BUG where BG_BUG_ID in (@p1@, @p2@, @p3@,), p1=1, p2=2, p3=3

4. Parameters cannot be used as table aliases (AS usage).

5. Neither parameters nor parameter values can be enclosed by quotes: parameter type resolving occurs on prepared statement compilation.

6. Parameters cannot be part of another string.
For example, instead of:
Select * from bug where bg_priority like ‘%@p@%’, p=Low.
write:
Select * from bug where bg_priority like @p@, p=%Low%.

Alternatively use db type dependent concatenation (‘%’ + @p@ + ‘%’ (sql) or ‘%’ || @p@ || ‘%’ (oracle) where p=Low).

7. Do not use special characters (non-word characters) in parameter names.

8. The ‘?’ character in SQL text should not be used.
Instead, concatenate chr(63) in Oracle and char(63) in SQL to the rest of the SQL statement text.

9. Do not use the ‘//’ combination in SQL. This combination is used for comments mark.
For example:
Select 'td://actions_upgrade.alexk.localhost:8080/qcbin/AnalysisModule-00000002220154988?EntityType=IAnalysisItem&EntityID=' + AI_ID From Analysis_Items

To resolve the problem, use string concatenation:
MSSQL:
Select 'td:/' + '/actions_upgrade.alexk.localhost:8080/qcbin/AnalysisModule-00000002220154988?EntityType=IAnalysisItem&EntityID=' + AI_ID From Analysis_Items
Oracle:
Select 'td:/' || '/actions_upgrade.alexk.localhost:8080/qcbin/AnalysisModule-00000002220154988?EntityType=IAnalysisItem&EntityID=' + AI_ID From Analysis_Items

Double quotes discovering SQL statements.

Use the following SQL statements from SQL tool or in Site Admin in order find all Excel reports with ‘double quotes’ problem.

MSSQL:SELECT AI_ID, AI_NAME, AI_FILTER_DATA, 'td://[project_name].[domain_name].[server_name]:[port]/qcbin/[AnyModule]?EntityType=IAnalysisItem&EntityID=' + cast(AI_ID as varchar) AS Excel_Report_URL
FROM ANALYSIS_ITEMS
WHERE (
                (AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE '%''@%' AND AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE '%DefaultValue="''%')
                OR
                                AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE '%''''@%'
                OR
                                AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE '%DefaultValue="''''%'
)
AND
AI_TYPE = 'ExcelReport'

ORACLE:SELECT AI_ID, AI_NAME, AI_FILTER_DATA, 'td://[project_name].[domain_name].[server_name]:[port]/qcbin/[AnyModule]?EntityType=IAnalysisItem&EntityID=' || AI_ID AS Excel_Report_URLFROM ANALYSIS_ITEMS WHERE( (AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE ‘%''@%' AND AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE '%DefaultValue="''%') OR AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE '%''''@%' OR AI_FILTER_DATA LIKE '%DefaultValue="''''%')

Where:
[project_name] – project name the sql executed on
[domain_name] – domain name the mentioned project belongs to
[server_name] – qc server name
[port] – server port

Limitation: parameters cannot be located inside a comment block or line.

Windows 7

Windows 7 is now certified to work with Quality Center 10.00.

The following section describes how to prepare and configure Windows 7 for client side installation. The following section is also applicable for Vista clients.

Note: There is a major difference between usage and installation. Installation should always be performed with administrator rights. However, logging in as an administrator does not provide administrator rights. For both installation types - browser or MSI – you must specify that the installation is to be executed as administrator. More details are provided later in this readme.

To work with Windows 7:

7. must be installed prior to Quality Center 10.00 client installation:Prerequisites

a. Microsoft Installer version 3 or later.

b. Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 or later.

c. Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable.

d. CAPICOM 2.1.0.2.

e. For rich content and the Document Generator: MS Office 2003 or 2007 (preferable due to DEP issue).

f. For the Document Generator: MS XML 3.0.

8. :Uninstall previous versions

a. Previous installations of Quality Center must be completely removed, including unregistering and deleting all modules.

b. If the previous version was installed with MSI (Quality Center client side): Uninstall using the MSI installer. Make sure to also remove the spider.

c. If the previous version was installed using the browser (i.e. Spider): You must unreg (regsvr32.exe –u) all components and spider, for example, from “Program Files\Common Files\Mercury Interactive\Quality Center”.

Note: Some symptoms that might occur if the installation is initiated from an IE/Command Line Prompt that was not run using ‘run as admin’: Quality Center will keep retrying to download components, and report failings in either downloading the components, opening downloaded files, or registering components.

d. Quality Center Client Installation:

1. Quality Center Client Side (i.e. MSI) installation: The MSI installation should be initiated from a command line prompt, run as an administrator.

2. Internet Explorer installation (i.e. Spider): The installation should be initiated from Internet Explorer, run as an administrator.

3. Quality Center 10.00 should not be installed using elevation.

9. : You can install using client-side installation, Internet Explorer or Quality Center Explorer.Installation Procedure

8. Quality Center 10.00 Client Side installation:

a. Login to the Windows 7 or Vista machine as either an Administrator or as a standard user.

b. Obtain and save a copy of QCClient.MSI in a temporary folder.

c. Run an administrator Command Prompt shell (i.e. CMD.exe): (Note: Without explicitly running the command prompt as admin, the installation will fail.)

i. For an interactive user: Choose Start > Programs > Command Prompt, right-click and choose Run as Administrator.

ii. If an elevation prompt window opens, provide credentials (i.e. User Name and Password of an Administrator user) if needed, or click ‘Continue’.

d. In the command prompt window, navigate to the temporary folder where the QCClient.MSI file had been previously saved (3.1.b).

e. Run QCClient.MSI from that command prompt.

f. Follow the Quality Center 10.00 installation wizard instructions.

9. Quality Center 10.00 Internet Explorer Installation:

a. Run Internet Explorer by right clicking the IE icon, and choosing ‘run as an Administrator’ (see also: step 3.1.c above as an example). If requested, provide credentials.

b. Browse to the Quality Center Server URL. Quality Center downloads and installs automatically.

10. Quality Center Explorer Installation:

a. Save a copy of QCExplorerAddIn.exe in a temporary folder, or download it to a temporary folder from a Quality Center Server site.

b. Run an administrator Command Prompt shell (see item 3.1.c).

c. Switch off DEP (Data Execution Prevention. For details, refer to the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_Execution_Prevention):

i. On the administrator command prompt – execute:
bcdedit /set {current} nx AlwaysOff

ii. Restart the machine

d. Validate DEP is switched off by executing bcdedit.exe on an administrator Command Prompt. The ‘nx’ property value should be AlwaysOff.

e. In the Administrator Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where QCExplorerAddIn.exe is located, and run it.

f. Follow the installation instructions.

g. After the Quality Center Explorer Add-in installation is completed, the DEP level can be restored to its previous level.
For example, if the previous DEP level was OptIn, run the following command in the Administrator Command Prompt:
bcdedit /set {current} nx OptIn

10. Quality Center 10.00:Running

1. Open Internet Options > Security Tab. Add the Quality Center server site to the Trusted Sites security zone.

2. Disable (uncheck) Protected Mode for the Trusted Site security zone.

b. A fully privileged user, i.e. an Administrator user, can run Quality Center 10.00 client with either Internet Explorer, or QCExplorer.

c. Note: If an administrator user fails to run Quality Center after a successful installation, it might mean that UAC (User Account Control) is switched off. (See link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Account_Control for details). When UAC is disabled, Administrator users access to the Temp folder is blocked. In this case, a blank IE window opens after navigating to the Quality Center URL.

11. :Notes

MSI and Spider installation should never be mixed on the same Vista machine.
When re-installing a Quality Center client of the other type (i.e. MSI/Spider) on a machine with Quality Center, the previous installation must be completely removed, and all existing modules must be unregistered and deleted before re-installing. (Common symptoms include: Quality Center window hanging or blank before login, Quality Center hanging while trying to open the VAPI-XP Test Script tab, repeated attempts at downloading, and others).

Deletion of the client side components is not sufficient. Components must be unregistered.

· Regular (COM) components should be unregistered using Regsvr32 /u

· For .NET components use Regasm /u

· Remove spider:

From Internet Option > Programs > manage add-ons

delete Loader class v5 or any Loader Class v*

12. Win 7 Limitations

· No support for Far East locales.

Migrating Legacy Version Control Data

Previous versions of Quality Center provided legacy version control functionality through the use of third-party version control tools. Quality Center 10.00 provides fully integrated, enhanced version control capabilities, storing version control data in the Quality Center database and file system.

New functionality was added to Site Administration, enabling you to migrate legacy version control data to work with Quality Center 10.00. You can now upgrade version control enabled projects from previous versions of Quality Center, and then migrate legacy data from a third-party version control tool to the Quality Center 10.00 database.

This topic includes the following sections:

Supported Versions
Prerequisites
System Storage Requirements
Notes on the Migration Process
Migration Instructions
After Migration
Troubleshooting

Supported Versions:

Quality Center projects that have been upgraded to Quality Center 10.00 from the following versions:
- TestDirector 7.6 and 8.0
- Quality Center 8.x, 9.0 and 9.2
Microsoft Visual SourceSafe (SP6)
Rational ClearCase 2003 / Rational ClearCase 7.0

Prerequisites

Before migrating legacy version control data, you must do the following:

Upgrade your version control enabled projects to Quality Center 10.00. For details on upgrading, refer to the HP Quality Center Administrator Guide.

Note: Legacy version control projects must be marked as version control enabled. If you are restoring a project, mark the parameter PR_HAS_VCSDB in the dbid.xml file as ‘Y’.
In order for Quality Center 10.00 to identify the version control tool and the configuration from the previous version, two folders must exist in the Quality Center 10.00 installation folder. If Quality Center 10.00 was installed on the same machine on which a previous version of Quality Center was installed, these two folders should exist. However, if Quality Center 10.00 is installed on a different machine or you are testing the patch on a staging environment, the installation path is different and the folders will be absent. To resolve this issue, copy the following folders from the original Quality Center 9.0\9.2 server to the Quality Center 10.00 server:

o Copy the folder \[Quality Center 9.0/9.2 installation path]\bin\CommonFiles to the same location in the Quality Center 10.00 Patch 8 installation folder. (Visual SourceSafe users only: The folder you are copying should contain the file TdVcPlugin.dll.)

Troubleshooting: If the folder and file do not exist in that location on the Quality Center 9.0\9.2 server, open one of the Quality Center server log files, located by default in the \[Quality Center installation path]\log\sa folder, and look in the Java properties table for the value java.library.path:

The last path specified here is the path of the “CommonFiles” folder, which needs to be copied the path specified for the “CommonFiles" folder in the Site Administration log ofthe Quality Center 10.00 server.

o Copy the folder \[Quality Center 9.0/9.2 installation path]\QualityCenter\repository\sa\DomsInfo\vc to \[Quality Center 10.00 installation path]\Quality Center\repository\sa\DomsInfo\ on the Quality Center 10.00 server.

Visual SourceSafe users only: Install Visual SourceSafe client with SP6 on the Quality Center 10.00 server. Installing SP6 for Visual SourceSafe will prevent connectivity problems between Quality Center 10.00 and Visual SourceSafe which could cause test migration to fail. If Visual SourceSafe is not installed on the Quality Center 10.00 server, an error will occur during the migration process.
IBM Rational ClearCase users only: Install ClearCase client on the Quality Center 10.00 server using the same configuration as defined on the Quality Center 9.2 server. If ClearCase is not installed on the Quality Center 10.00 server, an error will occur during the migration process.

Important: Make sure that the user running the Quality Center service has permissions and access to the ClearCase files stored by Quality Center. For example, in the following folder: ‘\\view\qcuser_view\testdirector\{project name}\TESTS\...’.

System Storage Requirements

Implementing version control in Quality Center 10.00 has storage implications on the Quality Center database and file repository. For guidelines on estimating data growth, see HP Software Self-solve knowledge base article KM740513 (http://h20230.www2.hp.com/selfsolve/document/KM740513).

Notes on the Migration Process

The migration process can take some time. Users can work in the Quality Center project during migration. If a user accesses a test that has not yet been processed, for example, checks out or views version history for a test, the legacy version control data is migrated at that time.
You can migrate data for a single project, or for multiple projects in a domain. The “Migrate Domain” option migrates the selected projects sequentially. To migrate several projects simultaneously, open a connection to Site Administration for each project you wish to migrate.
Project administrators may decide that it is not necessary to maintain all version history. You can set migration options to migrate a specified number of previous versions, or to migrate versions created after a certain date only.
Migration can be a lengthy process and use significant system resources. To help moderate the use of system resources both on the Quality Center database and the legacy third-party version control tool, you can set migration options to migrate groups of tests, with breaks in between groups.
Migrated versions are assigned version numbers according to the single digit format used for version control in Quality Center 10.00. Legacy version numbers are stored as a comment in each migrated version’s Comment for selected version field.

Migration Instructions

You can migrate legacy version control data for a single project, or for multiple projects in a domain.

To migrate legacy version control data for a single project:

In Site Administration, in the Site Projects tab, right-click an upgraded version control enabled project and select Maintain Project > Migrate Legacy Versioning Data. The Migrate Project dialog box opens.
Under Data to Migrate, the following options are available:
- Migrate versions no older than < >. Migrate only test versions created after a date you specify.
- Latest versions to migrate < >. Specify the number of previous versions to migrate. For example, enter the number 3 to migrate the last three versions created for each test.

By default, all legacy versioning data is migrated.

Important: The options under Data to Migrate cannot be edited after migration has been run once. These settings also apply to migration carried out when a user working in the project accesses a test that has not yet been processed. If migration fails or you choose to abort, migration is carried out with the same settings when you run the process again. Therefore, it is not possible to migrate data that was not selected the first time migration was run. For example, if you choose to migrate only the last three versions of tests, you cannot migrate additional versions at a later date.

Under Migration Process, the following options are available:

· Migrate tests in groups. Instructs Quality Center to migrate groups of tests, pausing between groups.

o Number of tests in groups < >. Specify the number of tests to place in a group.

o Stop between groups (in milliseconds) < >. Specify the period of time for the migration process to pause between groups.

Click the Migrate Project button to start the migration process. The Results pane displays migration progress, indicates which tests are migrated, and lists any test that cannot be successfully migrated.

· To pause the migration process, click the Pause button. To continue, click the Resume button.

· To stop the migration process, click the Abort button.

· To save the messages displayed in the Results pane to a text file, click the Export Log button.

· To clear the messages displayed in the Results pane, click the Clear Log button.

In the event that the migration process fails, or you choose to abort the process in the middle, tests that were already migrated to the Quality Center database remain. You can run the process again to continue migrating tests that were not yet migrated or failed to migrate.

To migrate legacy version control data for multiple projects in a domain:

1. In Site Administration, in the Site Projects tab, right-click a domain and select Maintain Domain > Migrate Legacy Versioning Data. The Migrate Domain dialog box opens.

2. Under Data to Migrate, the following options are available:

· Migrate versions no older than < >. Migrate only test versions created after a date you specify.

· Latest versions to migrate < >. Specify the number of previous versions to migrate. For example, enter the digit 3 to migrate the last three versions created for each test.

By default, all legacy versioning data is migrated.

3. Under Migration Process, the following options are available:

· Migrate tests in groups. Instructs Quality Center to migrate groups of tests, pausing between groups.

o Number of tests in groups < >. Specify the number of tests to place in a group.

o Stop between groups (in milliseconds) < >. Specify the period of time for the migration process to pause between groups.

4. Under Select projects to migrate, select the projects in the domain for which you want to migrate legacy version control data. Make sure to select only legacy version control enabled projects that were upgraded to Quality Center 10.00.

5. Click the Migrate Projects button to start the migration process. The Results pane displays migration progress, indicates which tests are migrated, and if any test cannot be successfully migrated.

· To pause the migration process, click the Pause button. To continue, click the Resume button.

· To stop the migration process, click the Abort button.

· To save the messages displayed in the Results pane to a text file, click the Export Log button.

· To clear the messages displayed in the Results pane, click the Clear Log button.

After Migration

After completing the migration process, the new Quality Center 10.00 versioning capabilities replace the third-party tools and they are no longer needed. In addition, the historical version control data can be deleted. (For Visual SourceSafe, this data is stored in the following location: \[Quality Center 10.00 installation path]\Quality Center\repository\QC\[your project]\vcs.)

Troubleshooting

In the event that migration fails, refer to the Results pane of the Migrate Project/Migrate Domain dialog box, and to the Quality Center Server log file for information on reasons for the failure.

Migration from Visual SourceSafe may fail, due to the following:

No versioning data is found in the Visual SourceSafe tool.
The Visual SourceSafe tool contains corruption which prevents the migration of data into Quality Center.
Object locking in the file system.

Migration from ClearCase may fail, due to the following:

Connection to the ClearCase server is lost.
No versioning data is found in the ClearCase server.
The ClearCase server contains corruption which prevents the migration of data into Quality Center.

If migration fails, try to correct the information in the third-party version control tool and run the migration process again. If the information cannot be corrected, try running the tool again.

If test migration fails repeatedly during the migration process, the following script can be used:

Note: After running this script, all tests will be assumed to have been successfully migrated, and all historic data for these tests will become unusable.

“UPDATE TEST SET TS_VC_CUR_VER = NULL WHERE TS_TEST_ID IN ({list of failed test ids})”

VC migration limitations:

Make sure that all the tests are "checked in" before migration. Use "Check in all" option in Quality Center before running the migration tool
Migrated QTP tests from QC9.2 do not show the test version when using the QTP Asset viewer
Some the Analysis report in the QTP Upgrade tool might fail
Limitation: All the tests became checked out after running analysis process in QTP Migration tool.

Workaround: Continue with Migration just after Analysis at once (without closing the tool or reanalyzing) or use "Check in all" option in Quality Center again

Gossip 1.3 build 820 is supported

MSSQL 2005 SP3 is supported

Limitations

It is not possible to convert an automated test into other test type

Quality Center 10.00 Patch 2

Fixed Defects

Versioning

Problem: Unable to check in an entity if the user name contains spaces.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When checking out a previous version of a requirement, its attachments cannot be downloaded.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When working with a version control enabled project and you save a test resource as an attachment to a test, Quality Center saves it as an empty file. This problem occurs in the following situations:

After project migration, using the HP QuickTest Professional Asset Upgrade Tool for Quality Center.
After copying the test.

· After importing a library (with a project or across projects).

Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: A requirement that is already checked out to a user can still be pasted using Ctrl+ X.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When deleting a test, its History folder is not deleted.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When working in the Test Grid view, Quality Center fails to add an attachment to a test.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: In a version control enabled project, an empty folder is created in the Tests repository folder for each manual test. This can increase the disk size of the project repository, and cause a strain on the file system. Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: Checking out an older version of a test resource will not restore its dependencies as they were at the time of check in. The dependencies of the checked out version are the same as the checked in version.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When updating multiple requirements or tests using the Update Selected command, only the first instance is updated.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: Quality Center fails to check out a test if its attachments were deleted from the file system.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When working in Quality Center Starter Edition, in the Requirements module, when you attempt to view a previous version of a requirement, an error occurs.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When working in the Requirements module, after checking out a previous version of a requirement, the Rich Content tab still shows the previously loaded file.

Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: For a test type that does not have an XML metadata file, adding a test of this type to a pinned test set fails.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Libraries and Baselines

Problem: The following limitation occurs when you compare libraries between a version control enabled project and a project in which version control is not enabled. If you compare an imported library with the library from which is was imported, and the source baseline includes a linked requirement and test, an error occurs.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When you compare libraries after an attachment is added to a test in one of the libraries, the test may not be marked as “Modified” in the Compare Libraries Tool dialog box. In addition, when you import a library that includes the test, the attachment may not be imported.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: After synchronizing libraries, if you delete an entity or folder with the same name from both libraries, subsequent synchronizations fail, and an error is written to the Quality Center Server log.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When you create a baseline for a library that contains a requirement assigned to a cycle, or for a library that contains BPT tests and components, an error occurs during baseline verification.
Solution: The problem is fixed

Problem: The following problems occur during baseline creation:

This limitation occurs when creating a baseline for a library that contains a QuickTest test that calls another QuickTest test. If the called test is not included in the library, the Broken Links Verification log does not report the missing test, or reports an incorrect test as missing.
The Broken Links Verification log does not report on the entity in which a missing entity is included. For example, the log reports a missing design step and not the test that includes the missing step.

Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: The baseline verification process is lengthy and generates a large volume of entries to the Quality Center Server logs.

Solution: The problem is partially fixed.

Limitation: Performance issues still exist during baseline verification of libraries that include business process tests and components. The solution requires adding some indexes to the Quality Center database schema. For more information, see HP Software Self-solve knowledge base article KM628020 (http://h20230.www2.hp.com/selfsolve/document/KM628020).

Problem: In a version control enabled project, when you import a library that includes a test that calls another test, or copy/paste a test that calls another test, the link to the called test is incorrect. When you check out the test, clicking the link to the called test is unsuccessful or accesses the incorrect test.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When you delete a folder that is defined as one of a library’s root folders, the folder is also deleted from the library’s baselines.
Solution: The problem is fixed. A baseline reflects the status of the library at the time the baseline was created, and is not affected by future changes to the library.
Limitation: When you delete a folder that is defined as one of a library’s root folders, the folder is also deleted from baselines that were created before the Patch 2 installation.

Problem: Internet Explorer 7. When working in Quality Center using Internet Explorer 7, comparing libraries or baselines may cause an error message to display.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When comparing baselines or libraries after an entity was both modified and moved, the entity is marked only as “Moved” in the Compare Baselines Tool or Compare Libraries Tool dialog box.
Solution: The Compare Baselines Tool or Compare Libraries Tool dialog box displays the entity in its new location with the change “Modified and Moved”. The previous location of the moved entity is marked as “Moved”. When synchronizing libraries, both changes are synchronized.

Problem: Creating a baseline may take some time, due to the baseline verification process.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: During the library import or synchronization process, if you click “Abort” from the “Log: Import Library” or “Log: Synchronize Libraries” dialog box, there is no indication that the library was only partially imported or synchronized.

Solution: The Details tab for the library now displays an error message and the “View Log” button is available.

Problem: This problem occurs after importing a library into a version control enabled project from a project in which version control is not enabled. When comparing the libraries, imported tests in the version control enabled project are marked as “Modified” based on a different creation time.
Solution: The problem is fixed.

Problem: When creating a baseline for a library with a business process test or flow that has requirements coverage, and the requirement is not included in the library, the Broken Links Verification log does not report the missing requirement.

Appendix

Offline Execution

Prerequisites

1. When executing a test in parallel execution mode on a local machine, the logged on user must have com+ permissions.

2. When executing a test in parallel execution mode on a remote machine, the user that is logged on to the QC machine must have com+ permissions on the QTP machine.

If the user wants to set com permission only for the parallel execution component the component’s CLSID is E87FE777-D056-4B29-8509-5FC858B8111D.

Troubleshooting

1. Problem - When executing a QTP test in Parallel execution mode on a local machine with Windows 2003 and the machine is connected in RDP I get the message –“Failed to create Offline Execution RA after registration”

Solution - When connecting to a pc in Remote Desktop connection to a machine with Windows 2003 the operating system creates a new remote session, not like other operating systems (XP,vista,2007) which creates the default session (Session 0) .

In order to execute the parallel execution feature in RDP machine, the connection must be session 0.

If the user wants to use the parallel execution feature on an RDP machine with Windows 2003, the connection must be done with the switch console/Admin.

How?

If you are RDP connection is made from a machine with Vista execute the command line, mstsc /Admin.

In other operating systems, execute the command line, mstsc/Console.

2. Problem - When executing a QTP test in Parallel execution mode on a remote machine with Windows version 2003 and greater I get the message –“Failed to create Offline Execution RA after registration”

Solution – This usually indicates that the remote activation for com+ is disabled. To enable this functionality use the Configure Your Server Wizard and select the Web Application Server role.

3. Problem - When executing a test in parallel execution mode in a local/remote machine I get the error – “method host_unlock not supported by automation object”

Solution – This error indicates that the QTP version you are using is incorrect. You should use QTP patch 731.

4. Problem- I did all the actions in this document but I still get the message –“Failed to create Offline Execution RA after registration”

Solution- Go to the Event viewer-System and see what the error is.

How?

1. Go to Start à Run and type “dcomcnfg” - A Components Service view will open-

2. In Windows 2007 go to Event Viewer àWindows Log à System , In other OS go to Event VieweràOperating System

3. Search for an error and double click on it, An information log will appear –

Read the information and follow the instructions.

Known issue

Problem -Execution in parallel mode on machines with Windows 2003 and Windows XP that are not located in NT domain is not possible.

Solution - ExecuteQTP tests on this machine in regular mode.

	Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0	Patch 25, See ReadMe above

Note: QC 10.00 client is certified on Windows 7 64-bit. However, the Quality Center client is still a 32-bit application that is based on ActiveX 32-bit and runs under WOW64 (the Windows 32-bit On Windows 64-bit emulator).

To enable the Quality Center on Windows 7 64-bit, use a 32-bit instance of Internet Explorer. By default, 32-bit Internet Explorer is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer".

To verify that the client process is running in the emulation mode – open the Windows Task Manager Processes tab. All 32-bit processes should be marked with*32.
