Octane REST API / Excel / VBA: Sample project GDPR Content Pack

Dirk Hedderich
 

Hi,

If you want to use the ALM Octane REST API you might find the GDPR Content Pack useful: The Content Pack Import Tool is an Excel workbook which contains a lot of - GDPR related - content like requirements, tests, defects, releases etc. Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and the Octane REST API are used to import this content into ALM Octane (and ALM/QC via REST and OTA).

You can download the GDPR Content Pack - free of charge! - on the ADM Marketplace at

https://marketplace.microfocus.com/appdelivery/content/gdpr-content-pack

Please also have a look at the documentation: The Administration Guide explains how you can use the Import tool - and you'll find some hints how you can re-use the Import tool for your own purposes.

Cheers,

Dirk

    Hi,

    The new GDPR Content Pack Release 3.3 contains more features for ALM Octane REST developers.

    You can now easily analyze Octane entities:

    and Octane fields:

    I hope you'll find this useful!

    Regards,

    This is a great resource for me to learn to use the REST API from VBA. I have spent years working with ALM's COM-based OTA API, but never REST.

    Thank you Dirk this is going to teach me a lot

    Hi,

    During the last years I've updated the GDPR Content Pack several times - and now I've published versions for the CCPA (California) and POPI Act (South Africa) as well.

    If you want to analyze the Octane API I'd recommend you download the GDPR Content Pack: It contains e.g. the feature to analyze Octane entities and fields. Please also see the Admin Guide for additional information.

    If you want to review or reuse the VBA code of the Content Pack Excel workbooks I'd recommend you'll download the CCPA version since it's the smallest Excel workbook and contains less data (the POPIA is available in two, the GDPR in 24 languages).

    Regards,

    Dirk

    Ps: If you like the Content Packs I really appreciate your feedback and *****
