Sometimes in your QTP script you need to save and retrieve data stored in a text file across multiple machines. Quality Center has a ‘resource' module where you can store a resource like a text file. I use this functionality so much that  I created two QuickTest Professional functions specifically for this:

  • QcSaveToResource – This function will save a text file from a local machine to an existing resource in QC
  • QCGetResource – This function will copy a file stored in QC to a local drive.

( Also check out my video : How to get a QC resource using QTP with OTA)

How to save a text file to QC (QcSaveToResource)

The following code will save a text file from a QuickTest Pro lab machine to an existing ‘Test Resource' in QC's Test Resource module:

QcSaveToResource "Joe","qcresourcetest.txt","C:\QTPAUTOMATION\DATA","",""

  1. Can you let me know how to download all the resources that are stored in the quality center ‘test resources’ folder to local machine using OTA script?

  2. @1415: Hi – When you say all resource do you want everything – including function libraries and object repositories? I’m not 100% sure how to do this. I have not tried to do this yet but you should be able to step-thru and modify my code example to do this. Also HP’s KB has an article that shows how to download resources using a custom DLL that may be better for your situation. Check HP article KM838074 .

  3. I want to upload a file into the resource without checking for existance of the file in the test resources module.

    Could please let me know the same on how to do it.

    Regards,
    S.Niranjan

  4. Hi Joe
    I encounter an issue while save my resoucre file to QC. It alerts that “The external resource could not be uploaded to the QualityCenter server repository”. Do you know the root cause of the problem?

  5. @William: Hi William – I’ve seen this error if I try to save a resource name that is not unique or it could be caused by a type/spelling error.

  6. Hi Joe
    Many thanks for your replying! I used the full file path like “C:\Temp\test.vbs” as fileToSavePath parameter value. However, while I was using “C:\Temp\” as fileToSavePath value, the error message was not displayed, but the attachment is blank.

  7. Hi William,

    I agree, i also have the same issue. the attachment is not uploaded to QC resource….

  9. Hi Joe,

    I am looking for help generating automatic test execution status reports from QC. Can you suggest how I can do it? I am not a coder and so need step by step instructions. I would really appreciate quick help please. Also I have used many of your videos on Service test and load runner that you posted on youtube. I found it very useful. Thanks.

    Asheena

  10. Asheena Andrews » Hi Asheena – my team just uses the standard QC Analysis reports. To get the info we need, in the test lab, we usually set the QC set filter option first. Is there a specific issue you are having?

  11. Hi Joe, How do I get the file from other places like Test Plan tab or do the files have to exist in the Resources tab? We use QC 9.2 and do not have Resources tab.
    Are there any other places that we can save the files in QC and retrieve using QTP?

    With the existing code, qcConn.QCResourceFactory displays error saying — ‘Object doesn’t support this property or method’

    THanks

  12. Kumar S » Hi Kumar – if you are running your QTP test in a test set in QC you can save and retrieve files in the test lab’s ‘Attachments’ tab. I can send you a code example of this if you want. Let me know.Cheers~Joe

  13. Hi Joe, This is exactly what I want to do. We have a test set with different test scripts and I want to have some attachments (input xml files) within this test set that I would like to read from each script and use appropriate input data. Any sample code would be awesome.

    Thank you

  14. Hi Joe,

    When I try to upload one Text file. I’m getting below errors.

    Failed to Post Simple Key Entity
    Line (49): “oNewResource.Post”.

    When I click on “Retry”. I’m getting below error

    The resource must be assigned a name before it can be uploaded or downloaded from the Application Lifecycle Management Platform.

    Line (50): “oNewResource.UploadResource fileToSavePath, True”.

    Can I know why actually this error is poping up.

    Actually, my requirement is to upload Result Excel files into specific Folder (say “Results” folder) in Resources or TestPlan tab.

    Can anybody know the above procedure?

    regards,
    Baba Fakruddin D

  15. Baba » Hi Baba – I just tried the code that I posted against ALM11 and it worked for me. In ALM do you have a Results resource setup under Resources? Can you send me exact code you are using? Thanks~Joe

  16. Hello Joe,
    I was wondering if it would be possible to save a file to the Attachments section in a test case(Test Name)? ex: Root\folders\Test Set\Test Name

    We run our tests on another stand alone machine that has QTP. And using QTP to update QC fields. When the test fails I want to create a txt file with the failure results and save the file to the attachments for that test case via QTP to QC.
    Is this possible?

    Any tips or suggestions are much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Kari

  17. Kari » Hi Kari – I have another blog post that I believe will help you – How to attach a file to a testiest attachment tab. Please let me know if you have any more question or issues with this. Cheers~Joe

  18. Hello,
    I was wondering if it is possible to the same thing but for downloading a resource that is in “Check Out” or to an older version of a resource? (i have versioning enabled in my project)
    Thanks,

  19. Achraf » Hi Achraf – Unfortunately I don’t know. I would try but I don’t have a QC environment that uses version control. Please let us know if you figure it out. Cheers~Joe

  20. Hello again,
    For a file in checkout, DownloadResource already does that automatically (it downloads the version in checkout by the user if possible)
    For downoading older versions of the file, the only way i found, was to build the full physical path to the version of file i want, and then use the TDConnection.ExtendedStorage object to download it. (however building the path is a bit tricky and requires much longer to explain how it’s done)

    Thanks and regards,

  21. Hi Joe,
    In following code I am trying to upload excel file to Data table resource in Quality Center. But I am getting two errors as following.

    1) on line “oRes.Post”, I got error “Failed to Post simple Key entry”.

    2) on line “oRes.UploadResource “, I got error “The external resources could not be uploaded to the Quality Center Server Repository ”

  22. John Pellen » Hi John – Sorry, I have not see this issue before and I’ve been unable to repro on my machine. Have you figured it out yet? Anyone else have any ideas?

  23. Hi Joe,
    Big thanks for the QTP Paches repository in your Blog.I recently downloaded QTP-00092 Patch for firefox 9 and 10 support.
    My question is how to test a webEdit object by Boundary Value Analysis using QTP(Especially for maximum length+1 case).
    suppose my WebEdit maxlength is 10 characters and if want to test it for 11 characters.
    If i use .Set method QTP throwing an error as Parameter is Incorrect.
    If i use Type Method,I’m getting the error as object does’nt support this method.
    So how should we test with QTP in this particular negative scenario????????????
    Thanks in-advance

  24. Hey, Joe,

    I am using vapi xp vbscript test to upload .xls file to the QC Test Resources. But after running it I got error: “The external resource could not be uploaded to the QualityCenter server repository. ” (there are no duplicate names in resources). Then I checked QC Test Resources and there was file name inserted, but download button was disabled. I can’t figure out what is wrong. I see others were also getting same error. So maybe you or someone else have figured out what’s wrong? It would help me a lot in my job.

    BR,
    Lina

  25. Lina » HI Lina the only time I’ve seen this error is when I’m using the wrong path or resource name. Anyone else have any ideas?

  26. vasu » Are the errors QTP errors or application under test errors/dialogs? I would think that either set or type would work for you- have you tried sendkeys?

  27. Hi Joe.we are using QTP-11.00 and QC(ALM)-11.00.Recently we integrated QTP and QC after installing QC-QTP addin and QTP-11.00 addin and checked the checkbox in “Tools<Options,Run<Allow other HP products to run tests and components" in QTP.We saved our script in TestPlan module (subject<some folder) from QTP.When we click on TestScript tab in TestPlan we are getting QC dialog box errors as
    "Attempted to read or write protecte memory.This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."If we click on OK button then again we are getting dialog as
    "External component has thrown an exception."we are unable to view script in QC.
    Plz suggest me any solution regarding this issue.

  29. How to get min length of a webedit using QTP(VB scripting) ???
    just like getting max length by
    maxL=Browser(“”).page(“”).Webedit(“”).getroProperty(“max length”)

  30. @ John Pellan – on line “oRes.UploadResource “, I got error “The external resources could not be uploaded to the Quality Center Server Repository ”

    Resolution :
    Remove backslash ‘\’ for uploadfolder name and verify that Upload file name is the same as it exists on local machine

  31. Hi!
    I want to know how can I call a .bat file that is located on my Resources tab in ALM from my QTP test? Is this possible?

    This .bat file call the application I want to test with specific login information according to the test that is executed, or at least that’s the idea.

    How can I call this . bat file from within QTP script?

    Any Idea will be appreciated.

  32. Hi Joe,

    Thanks for the excellent post.
    In addition, How would I add a ‘Resource Folder’ through API? I have tried something like this,

    Set resFolder = tdc.QCResourceFolderFactory
    resFolder.AddItem (“test_fol”)

    but it doesn’t create folder. Can you please help how to create resource folder throught API?

  34. Fulge » You should be able to save a.bat file to a test resource in ALM and call it using the code I posted. Are you having an issue with the code?

  35. I am having a project requirement , which I need to retrieve defect time stamp from HP Quality center to check, time of arrival of the defect.Please send me the code otherwise I wont get appraisal this time. I have given word to my manager.

  36. I’m also getting the “The resource must be assigned a name before it can be uploaded or downloaded from the Quality Center server.” error when I upload.

    TDAPIOLELib.QCResourceFactory resFact = (TDAPIOLELib.QCResourceFactory)connection.QCResourceFactory;
    TDAPIOLELib.IResourceStorage res = (TDAPIOLELib.IResourceStorage)resFact[id];

    res.UploadResource(file, true);

    any suggestions?

  37. I wasn’t setting the “resource.FileName” property of the resource before I was trying to upload. That specific error went away but now I’m getting “The external resource could not be uploaded to the QualityCenter server repository.”

    I am also getting error “failed to post simple key entity” oNewResource.post . I am using exactly the same code written by you above . Can you please help me . Can you tell me the probable reasons for this .
    Many many thanks in adavance :):):)

  40. somanath » Hi – not sure why this is happening — it does work for me. Anyone else have any ideas?

  41. Hi There,

    I have to download particular folder in QC resources which contain .vbs file, which related to my automation suite however I am wondering if you can help me in this.

    Thanks,

  43. Hi Joe, Good day….
    In our organization we are planning to move all our scripts, Library files, repository, data files and xml files to Test Resource folder in QC. Can you please let me know how to call these file from QC in the script???
    Thank you for your help.

  44. Sri » Hi Sri – you should be able to associate your function libraries from QTP>File>Settings and in the Test Settings click on Resources. You can point to a library in QC and associate it with your test script. For Object Repository you can do the same by going into QTP’s menu Resources>Associate Repositories and select your OR’s stored in QC. Is this what you are looking for?

  47. Joe… Thank you for your reply.

    I need to import library, excel and repository in run time. I am working on a very big application and it’s an event driven script. So I need to call the required function during runtime.

  48. Hello Joe,

    Thanks a lot for such a wonderful site. I’m also facing the same issue what Sri is referring to.. Can you please assist with the code for the following..
    1. To connect qtp and qc during run time.
    2. To import library, excel, repository during run time
    3. To add the test cases to test lab during run time
    4. To exectue the test scripts added in test lab
    5. To store and view the result.

    Thanks a ton for your suppport.

    Cheers,
    Santhosh.

  51. Hi Joe,

    Thanks for reply.
    Function which I used “QCGetResource” downloads only 1 file at a time which is been passed, i need to download entire folder from resouces tab,

    However really appriciate if you would provide code snippet for that.

    Thanks

  52. Joe, I am attempting to use the code included in this blog post and
    am wondering what the filter would be to search by resource name instead of file name. I have several resources that contain the same filename (i.e. different copies of the same file listed under different resource names).

    PS. It appears that all resources are returned when it fails to find the one you set in the filter. In case anyone is wondering why they are getting back a large number of resources instead of just 1.

  53. Figured it out. Looks like it’s nice and obvious. Just “RSC_NAME”. I was unable to find a list of possible filter values in the OTA documentation. Where can I get one?

  56. Hi Joe,

    Very useful post. One question though – here “oFilter.Filter(“RSC_FILE_NAME”) = resourceName” filters by resource name. What other filters are available and where can I find the documentation for these. It would help me a lot if I could also filter on the resource’s parent folder.

    Please advise.

    Regards,
    Hara Prasad

  57. Hi Joe,
    I used the Function to getResource but it works with one reource at a time. I was wondering if it is possible to build the resources list available and do the download by iterating through the list?
    It is very cumbersome to download the resources one at a time.
    Thanks
    Sandhya

  58. Hi Joe,

    Today I am feeling great to find your website.
    I want to download a resource from QC Resource which is saved in a subfolder at 3rd or 4th level from Resources folder. The oFilter.Filter(“RSC_FILE_NAME”) = resourceName, in your code is not working for this.

    Can you please help.

    Regards,
    Shanker

  59. Hara –

    Check the OTA reference for for TDFilter, you’ll see: “The values can be constants, special tokens such as “[Today]”, “[PreviousWeek]”, or “[NextYear]”, or folder names, such as “^Subject\LinkFolder^”. Use the set filter dialog in the the relevant module of the ALM user interface to explore the possibilities.”

    So open the Filter dialog under resources, set up the filter that you’d want, and then you can Copy/Paste the actual filter. It contains what you need, for example, when I set up a filter to give me the Test Resource with folder name = My Host Names, it looks like:

    [Filter]{
    TableName:RESOURCES,
    ColumnName:RSC_FOLDER_NAME,
    LogicalFilter:0000019\^Resources\My Host Names^,
    VisualFilter:0000019\^Resources\My Host Names^,
    NO_CASE:
    }

  61. Is there is a API to connect and extra data from Performance Center(subset of ALM) using QTP. I need to read few columns within the test lab during run time.

    Thank You,
    Srini

  62. Srini » Hi Srini – I’m still researching this. I don’t have Performance Center installed so I’m not sure. I know that ALM 11 have a REST api but I don’t think it touches the performanace center info. Does anyone else know if this is possible?

  63. Hi Joe,

    I am trying to download a resource from ALM. Though my code works fine for the first time but when i try to download the same resource again then i am getting below error :

    The resource could not be downloaded to the Application Lifecycle Management client machine.

    Line (39): “oFile.DownloadResource sLocalPath, True”.

    Do you have any Idea about this error?

    I am using the below code :

    Set oQCCon = CreateObject(“TDApiOle80.TDConnection”)

    sFileName = “DateTime.vbs”

    oQCCon.InitConnectionEx “http://qc:8080/qcbin”

    oQCCon.Login sUserName, sPassword

    If (oQCCon.LoggedIn True) Then
    Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, “QC Authenticated Failed. Unable to Login”, “Username : ” & sUserName & ” Password : ” & sPassword
    ExitTest
    End If

    oQCCon.Connect sDomain, sProject

    If (oQCCon.Connected True) Then
    Reporter.ReportEvent micFail, “QC Project Failed to Connect to ” & sProject, “QC Project Failed to Connect to ” & sProject
    ExitTest
    End If

    Set oResource = oQCCon.QCResourceFactory
    Set oRec = oResource.NewList(“”)

    For Each oResrc in oRec
    sPath = oResrc.Path
    If sPath = sResoucePath Then
    Set oFile = oResrc
    oFile.FileName = sFileName
    oFile.DownloadResource sLocalPath, True
    Exit For
    End If
    Next

    Set oResource = Nothing
    Set oRec = Nothing
    Set oFile = Nothing

  65. Hi Joe
    I need to upload an Excel file to a Folder in Test lab.
    While uploading, it has to replace the already existing file in the test lab. Can u please suggest me the code. It will be very helpful you suggest me at the earliest since my project is in hurry to wrap things up.

  67. Hi Joe, Nice post. I was playing around with your code. Can I access the modified Time from the resource? My idea is to read the modified time and overwrite download to local drive from QC only if the QC resource is a new version. Your help is highly appreciated. Cheers : )

  68. Hi Joe,

    When we run the QTP test from QC Test Lab, then the test results are stored in QC testset. But is there any way by which I can copy the entire test report folder from testset to my local machine ?

  69. Hi Joe,

    I have to write a function in which we can directly save the test case from QTP in ALM test plan without associating object repository or function library.

    I have to save all the test case present in datasheet to ALM in one go.

    Can you please help me to guide.

  70. Hi,
    How to set relative paths of Library files and Recovery files in QTP. Could you please provide step by step.

  71. Realllllly a great site…every one remember you Joe for this Blog…Great…I wish all the best..TC

  73. Hi,
    I have a QTP project for test and I must import it into HP QC.
    How can I do this?
    (sorry for my bad english) ;)
    thanks

  76. Hi Joe:

    Great site. I learned a lot from your website, and recommend to my colleagues. Just my 2 cents about the QCSaveToResource…
    1. I copied and pasted the function and noticed that the “nowResource” variable was in the same line as the “For” loop. That caused a problem. The “nowResource = oCurrentResources.Item(iNowResourceNum).Name” should be in the same line.
    Copied codes:
    For iNowResourceNum = 1 To resourceCount nowResource =
    oCurrentResources.Item(iNowResourceNum).Name

    2. QTP did not like oNewResource.ResourceType = “Test Resource”
    It gave error message to the effect “cannot declare new variable” I comment out that line to get rid of error.
    3. Once I fixed the above, the function works nicely
    4. Thanks for sharing the function!

    Cheers,
    David

  77. Hi Joe,
    I have baselined some tests in ALM 11.00.
    Created a “Pinned to Baseline” test set.
    Trying to run those baselined tests, via QTP, from the “pinned to baseline” test set.

    At runtime I want to check if a test is “pinned to baseline” from QC (will be using Test.VCS properties for this) but not sure how to use that to grab it’s resources (parameters,attachments etc) of the same baseline?
    The DownloadResource functionality only appears to get the latest and not a specified version.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  78. Hi Joe

    i just copied your code to download a resource from ALM. Everything works fine, the resource is located in ALM but the downloadresource method is not actually downloading the file to my local machine. Do you know what can be wrong?
    I am using this code:
    Set qcConn = QCUtil.QCConnection
    Set oResource = qcConn.QCResourceFactory
    Set oFilter = oResource.Filter
    oFilter.Filter(“RSC_FILE_NAME”) = “AU_ITF_CA_Subcontracting.xls”

    Set oResourceList = oFilter.NewList

    If oResourceList.Count = 1 Then
    Set oFile = oResourceList.Item(1)
    ‘ oFile.FileName = resourceName
    oFile.DownloadResource “C:\QTPTemp\”, True
    End If

    Set qcConn = Nothing
    Set oResource = Nothing
    Set oFilter = Nothing
    Set oFlieList = Nothing
    Set oFile = Nothing

  79. Hi Joe,

    I have requirement to extract the Test execution report from the ALM (QC 11.0) from the test lab, we have one main folder under that we have sub folders under sub folders we have three to four test sets, could you please help me how to extract execution report from that and how to save those report in to local drive. Your help is much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Hari

  81. All the data sheets were in RDP.
    Now we are integrating with QC.I have kept the file as Resources\Test data\applicationName\file.xls

    In function library,I have a code to fetch this data table for a test called ‘file’.
    when I run the test,I am getting the error – [ALM\Resources] Resources\Test data\applicationName\file.xls could not be found.

    Is this a QC permission issue?Because in QC,I am unable to edit any data in those files.I can only upload and download those files.

    In Environment.xml file(external & user defined), value for testdata = [ALM\Resources]

  82. Hi Joe,

    I am new to HP ALM 12.

    This post is very useful. I need to upload a text file(from local to HP ALM server) to a test resource through REST API.
    I know, HP ALM supports REST from ALM version 11.

    I am using HP ALM 12.
    I tried to get info from REST API doc references from HP. But it didn’t help me. Post some Question regarding the same in HP forum.(http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Quality-Center-Support-and-News/ALM-12-Rest-API-Upload-file-for-each-resource-in-the-test/td-p/6646598#.VD0s7_mSylE)

    Can you please helped me with any references/doc/java code?
    Please note, I was able to attach files to “Requirements/Defects” through Rest API. But failed to do the same for test resources.
    I can’t use OTA.
    Please reply.

    Any suggestion will help.

    Thanks,
    Prasenjit.

  84. I am trying to download the attachments from QC- testlab to my local system. The folder in the testlab has many subfolders, under which the testset is created and the attachments are attached.

    My requirement is that while i am downloading the attachments from QC to my local system, i need to make sure that the tree structure is created even in my local drive.

    Can any one help me on this!!! AS i am very new to Automation testing …..

    Thanks in Advance for your kind support and help.

  85. Hi Joe,

    In our project a user has deleted a Test Resource, However we are not able to find the details in either the AUDIT_LOG Table or the AUDIT_PROPERTIES Table.

    Please let me know which table should be used to find the details regarding the updates to the Test Resources
    Thanks in advance

  86. Hi Joe, Please share the OTA script to update description in details tab of a manual business component

  88. Hi Joe,

    I find your site very helpful and informative. I have inherited a project that uses your function QCSaveToResource almost line for line. I am very happy that I found the original source for this function. This function has been serving us well for almost two years. However, we are now implementing version control in UFT as well as base-lining and pinning in ALM. What is happening is when a test set is pinned to a base line library, this function still obtains the data resource files from ALM’s Data Resource module, not from the base lined library. In QCSaveToResource, is there some way to detect whether script’s execution is called from a test set referencing a pinned baseline? And if so, is how could this function be modified to obtain a data resource file from the base-lined library? Thanks.

  89. Hi Joe,

    Can you please share some code snippets to export test execution summary report from QC to an Excel sheet. I am not using QTP, I want to capture report using VBScript or running a macro from Excel.

    My Test Execution summary report vary from project to project. Need ur guidance and support.

  90. I am using QTP and QC. I have inserted data, already retrieved from my application, into run time Data Table. After storing it and uploading my Excel file into QC test resource, I wanted to use this data stored in my current test but I have to click on the refresh button in QC to force the update.

    Any suggestions please to make the refresh automatically ?

  91. I want Save the Live analysis(Report) in Excel format using QTP (VB) and QC, I am able to connect and Fine the Report which I need but not able to save it.
    Can you please suggest?

  92. Hi Everybody,
