As an JazzAdmin I would l like to have an advanced property for attachments exclusively to Automated Results

Right now we have the advanced property com.ibm.rqm.planning.service.integration.AttachmentUtilService and that governs all the attachments within ETM. It is by default 50MB and has a limit of 2GB.

If a user tries to attach something larger than that value, they are warned with:

File upload failed: The server or file upload service is not responding, or an invalid fully qualified file name was provided, or the attachment is larger than the maximum attachment size. To increase the maximum attachment size change the com.ibm.rqm.planning.service.integration.AttachmentUtilService property under the Advanced Properties in Server Administration.
 

The problem is that when it comes to automated scripts, the adapter can't attach and is not able to warn the JazzAdmin to increase that Advanced Property in order to be able to attach the file. It simply doesn't attach the file and creates the result without it.

The JazzUser when sees the result without the file, will need to re-run the execution. Since there are no error/warnings saying what happened (hence not increasing the Adv. Prop.), the user might see the problem again.

 

The idea here is to separate that Advanced Property:

- The current keeps working for the manual attachments (attaching to manual results, to test cases/scripts/plans, in-line attachments)

- Create a new Advanced Property exclusively for Automated Scripts. With that, we can set up a much higher value as we would "trust" that the adapter is attaching only the necessary files, avoiding results to have no required attachments.

 

The only workaround we have right now is to increase that value, but that would impact all other artifacts, allowing all users to attach larger files.
