Downloading From ALM

Hi Sir,

Can we download all Files in a folder from ALM at a time to Desktop? I mean in function library folder, i have 6 different files, i need to download all of them at a time, is it possible?

The folder download is not possible as I don't see any provision given by HP to perform the folder download operation. I have already explored and tried downloading the folder, but its not happening.

Generally you can download a file based on the Resource type of QC, like - Function Library, Shared Object Repository, Data Tables etc.

If you are willing to download all files at one go, you may use a download function which takes multiple values (file names) delimiter separated as an argument and the other argument with respective file types delimiter separated, and internal to it split the passed value and loop for the file names in the array to download one by one in the same function.

There are multiple ways of doing this operations. one of which I've stated above.

You can refer to the post "
How to Download a file from Quality Center (QC/ ALM) to local machine

" under the QC Forum posts. This is for a single file download.

I correct my previous statement.

Yes you can download the complete folder and it's content as is to your local machine.

I've developed code which just needs your folder name in QC and it will download everything as is, take it n number of sub folders, sub folders under sub folders to nth level and all the respective folder/ sub folders files.
