There is no direct option to download all the test cases from ALM under specific folder from Test Lab. Though we can download single test case at a time from export option available in TestLab, it is time consuming if we want to download 100's of test cases in a short span of time.
Writing SQL query in the ALM under "Dashboard->Analysis View" with Excel report would solve our problem and can download all test cases in seconds/minutes
Following SQL queries needs to be added in excel report, and upon executing these queries would generate excel file with relevant information we are looking for.
It is basically 2 way approach as there is no option to provide the folder path in the SQL query
1. Find out the absolute path of required folder path in TestLab
''Finding actual folder path from the absolute path
select in_cf.AL_ITEM_ID, sys_connect_by_path( in_cf.AL_DESCRIPTION, '\') PTH, in_cf.AL_ABSOLUTE_PATH as "ABS Path"
from ALL_LISTS in_cf connect by prior in_cf.AL_ITEM_ID = in_cf.AL_FATHER_ID
start with in_cf.AL_FATHER_ID = 0
''Finding absolute path from Test Lab
SELECT AL_DESCRIPTION, /* Level3 Folder Name */ AL_ABSOLUTE_PATH
FROM All_Lists
2. Pick up the absolute path from the above query and pass that in the following query and execute the report to generate excel file with the test cases.
You can pass required fields though in the query, in below I have only provided basic fields which are required in test case.
'''Downloading testcases from Test Lab with absolute path

ALL_LISTS.AL_DESCRIPTION as "Folder Name" /*Test Plan Folder.Name*/,
