- Extract binary found in https://github.com/intland/reqif-cleanup/releases
- Put ReqIF files to be processed into input folder.
Running validate.bat will validate the file against the ReqIF XML schema. If not error is reported the files are valid.
codebeamer 20.11 and older did under some cicumstances add additional unwanted attribute definition to the ReqIF export.
Those attrribute definitions can be dropped by running cleanup.bat.

With older codebeamer releases (9.5 and older) importing REqIF exports with missing repository identifier can be problematic.
Run identifier.bat to generate a repositoty identifier based on the GUIDs of the specifications in the ReqIF.
Identifiers codebeamer generates for ReqIF Exports are based on the host ID of the codebeamer server. Changes of the MAC address (can be compensated, please contact support) or the platfrom will result in a changed host ID which will lead to generation of different IDs in the ReqIF. This ID change will cause problems with ReqIF exchanges that were started before changing the host ID.
To use this functionallity the old an new host IDs with all :replaced with - need to be configured in settings.bat.
After doing so fixIDsAfterExport.batcan be used to re-insert the old IDs into a ReqIF exported from codebeamer before providing it to a 3rd party.
fixIDsBeforeImport.bat can be used to replace the old IDs you will find in exports generated by a 3rd party with the new IDs codebeamer is using internally.
Principally codebeamer should be able to deal with the old IDs transparently, but there have been reports that this not always works, therefore pre-processing the file before import is advisable.
A solution that will not require pre- or post-processing the files is planned for Felicity and might be porovided in a service pack.
