Check the URL you are POST-ing to.  According to the RQM API you need to use the singleProjectFeedURL .  To troubleshoot further, I would first get this working using Poster.

SaiKiran Cheemakurthi commented Mar 11 '13, 5:26 p.m.

Brian,


 thank you so much for recommendation, I will try adding the singleProjectFeedURL.
 Will you please share sample xml for creating TC, if you have one?

Thanks,

Brian Fleming commented Mar 11 '13, 8:09 p.m.

Using Poster, perform a GET on an existing test case to get sample xml.  Your testscript URL looks fine.  The singleProjectFeedURL for testcases (what you should set your url variable to) would be: https://MyRQM:9443/jazz/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/WAW_Refactoring/testcase

+1 on Brian's answer.

For other examples of URLs (including the one just cited above), you could refer to this post: http://sleroyblog.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/querying-rqm-40-through-oslc-and-rest-api/

A couple of things:

1) You are not authenticating with the RQM server.  I would suggest using the HTTP client in the RQM URL Utility or RQM Copy Utility source.

2) Your test script URL contains entity references:

https:/MyRQM:9443/jazz/service&lt;b&gt;/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService&lt;/b&gt;/resources/WAW_Refactoring/testscript/urn:com.ibm.rqm:testscript:256

Hi Sai,

See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#ScenarioCreateTip for the steps to create valid resource XML.

Hello,

I was able to create my test cases via Rest api but I need to obtain the identifier of those test cases so I can link them to the test plan. When I post xml representation of my test case, I only got HTTP 201 nothing more.

Could you help me?

The Content-Location response header will contain the ID (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Create).


Canberk Akduygu commented Dec 19 '13, 2:16 a.m.

 After posting the question I found out my response by myself. I was looking at the wrong side :)


Thank you for quick answer also.

Hello,

I am trying to put a value to Categories while creating the Test Plan or Test Case.

I added "<ns4:category value=\"Unit Test\" term=\"Test Phase\"/>" to my TestPlan xml but Categorie is ot set after the execution.

Is there any restriction on some field like Categories,owner,etc?

Try:

<ns4:category value="Unit Test" term="Test Phase"/>

You may also not have the correct permissions (check the RQM log for relevant log messages).


Canberk Akduygu commented Jul 24 '14, 9:04 a.m.

I gave all the permissions to my user in Test Plan Permissions.
I also cannot edit owner of the test plan via REST api.

I'll try your solution.


Canberk Akduygu commented Jul 24 '14, 9:51 a.m. | edited Jul 24 '14, 9:52 a.m.

I guess jazz.net editor corrupted my xml value. I have <ns4:category value=\"Unit Test\" term=\"Test Phase\"/> this in mycode snippet.

Is there anything in the HTTP response content and/or RQM logs?

You cannot not use an internal ID on a PUT request (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Internal_ID).  In this case, the invalid ID is ignored and a generated ID is used.


Canberk Akduygu commented Jul 24 '14, 3:50 p.m. | edited Jul 24 '14, 3:52 p.m.

"urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan" is an internal id?

If so which uri do i need to use to make a put request? Also my request creates the test plan in project area. It only dont set the owner and category.

Sorry if i misinterpret what you said.


Canberk Akduygu commented Jul 25 '14, 2:50 a.m.

I found the problem.

My problem was that my tag ids didnt match.

The right usage is:
xmlns:ns2="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/"
xmlns:ns4="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
<ns2:category value="Unit Test" term="Test Phase"/>

The wrong usage is
xmlns:ns2="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/"
xmlns:ns4="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
<ns4:category value="Unit Test" term="Test Phase"/>

I mistakenly put ns4 instead of ns2.

Good catch.  Namespace prefixes can sometimes be tricky.  I would have assumed an error/warning would have been logged in the RQM log.

Yes, urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan is an internal id (except it's missing the web ID).  Note, you cannot use an internal ID in create (POST/PUT) requests.


Canberk Akduygu commented Jul 30 '14, 6:15 a.m.

If I dont use urn:com.ibm.rqm:testplan I cannot create anything.
What's the disadvantages of using it?

I have one other question. When we create a test case of test plan via Rest api we get a id with "slug_" prefix. Is there a way to find webId of that test artifact?
