Hi Josh,

I have tried to sign up, but now my status is - Pending Approval -

It seems i have to wait a few minutes? hours? or days?

Maybe you can make this process faster

juergen,

If I'm not mistaken, NI R&D technically has to approve your status as a beta tester, hence the 'pending approval' status.  I'm sure they will get to you request as soon as possible.

Hi Josh and John,

Well done I am approved!

Thanks

HI Josh,

I have tried to implement my own xml file in a custom step.

It seems that this XML-File is not supported. I have derived it

from a Doors-xml (just the structure)

Maybe you can take a look on it

j_dodek,

I looked at the files you attached, and I think I know what the problem is.

At the moment, Requirements Gateway can only parse two kinds of text files: ANSI and UTF-8.  The file you sent me was saved as Unicode, which was causing the problem.  In addition, when you change the type of file encoding, you should also change the encoding attribute in the opening tag to be the appropriate type.  For ANSI, the proper encoding is 'iso-8859-1' and for UTF-8 it is 'UTF-8'.

One other thing that I noticed was that you were using double quotes (") to denote text.  I'm not sure if this is proper XML syntax or not, because in the other XML files I looked at, they were using a single quote (').

A last thing was that even after I got Requirements Gateway to read your file, there was no information in it that Requirements Gateway was looking for.  The type that you defined only is looking for sections (not requirements) and it is looking for an object that has an attribute tag with an attribute called name whose value is 'Object Heading'.  In your file, all of your tags have the name 'ObjectType'.

If you give me an example of the XML file you are trying to parse, I can create a simple example type to parse it for you.

Hi Josh,

I got it running. UTF8 was the trick.

The single/double quoting does not matter. It is working with both.

Now i have played with the Tool. It it looking nice. In my actual Project

wich has real backgroud there are about 350 Requierements which has to be covered
from 4 TS - SequenceFiles. Well done i have evenfound a Test mistake in TS, which

i would never figured out with out that.  

When is the dead line for my Beta?

When is this tool available?

Another thing what NI should think about is Viewer for that stuff

If i am right NI R Gateway is included in DeveloperSuite so i will have no problem.

But if think on the guys in production field. They should be able to load a TS-Report

against an existing project and make some traceabiltiy routing to the TS-File and Specification.

And the would not pay 1,9 kEuro for that feature.
