Notification when a workitem linked "depends on" chnage status
One answer
Hi Antoine,
as far as I can tell, there is no built in logic in RTC that would provide you with this capability.
I can think of the following options:

I can think of the following options:
- You can subscribe to the work item your work item depends on, to get notifications if it is modified.
- You can try to set up a query that shows you information on work items your work items depend on. See https://jazz.net/library/article/1007 to get started.

It is possible to extend RTC, especially the server, with operational behavior. It would be possible to create a participant (follow up action) to automatically subscribe the owner of a work item that gets linked with a depends on relationship to the work item it depends on. It would also be possible to create a participant that detects the state change, follows the depends on relationships and uses the Server's mail API to send an e-mail to users interested in the work items on the other end of the depends on relationship. You can get started here: http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/setting-up-rational-team-concert-for-api-development/ and the blog contains example code for several participants. Unfortunately not yet an example to use the server Mail API.
