I have a script to move workitem from "Resolved" state to "Built" state. Details below:

Curl cmd:

curl -s -k -b ~/.jazzcookies -H "If-Match:64486.etag" -H "Content-Type: application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" -H "Accept: application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" -X PUT --data-binary 64486.updated.json "https://clm-host/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/15954?_action=bugzillaWorkflow.action.a6"

Error;

{

"oslc_cm:message": "CRJAZ0007I Unable to update the item identified by \"https:\/\/clm-host\/jazz\/service\/com.ibm.team.repository.common.internal.IItemRestService\/itemName\/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem\/64486?_action=bugzillaWorkflow.action.a6\" - there is a later version of this item available.",

"oslc_cm:status": 412

Please advise. I have some important services on halt.

Thanks,

Binoy

The problem appears to be related to the way you are quoting the If-Match header. Your command should look like this (notice the single quotes:

curl -s -k -b ~/.jazzcookies -H 'If-Match:"64486.etag"' -H "Content-Type: application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" -H "Accept: application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" -X PUT --data-binary 64486.updated.json "https://clm-host/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/15954?_action=bugzillaWorkflow.action.a6"

Tried with single quotes as you suggested, still doesn't work. Getting the same oslc_cm:status: 412 message.

Please help.

I'm facing the same problem but I don't think that removing the header is a workaround. Any news on this? How can the If-Match header be used in version 4?

Thanks,

Michele.

I don't have any update. Unfortunately, RTC Rest api are not supported by IBM and I haven't found any useful information in the forums.

Hi Luis,

I have tried on my local system and I found out the following:
- with curl I reproduce the error
- if I use FF poster it works (including the etag parameter)

so it sounds like curl is not preserving the quotes as needed.

Update: I found the mistake in my curl call and posting the corrected version. It's working for me on my system (v4.0.4). See the escape characters for the ETag value.

curl -k -b $COOKIES --header "Content-Type:application/json" --header "Accept:application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" --header "If-Match: \"<ETagValue>\""  -X PUT --data-binary "@<ID>.json" <server>/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/<ID>?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking"

Anyway, I double-checked with FireFox Poster add-on again, and the ETag value along with the If-Match parameter are working as expected

Regards,

Jorge.

Thanks for your suggestion but unfortunately we are running on windows and we don't have sed.

Hi!!

I made it work by removing the "If-Match" header from the PUT request.

For reference of others with same issue this is my log of steps I followed to change WI state (I've used JSON instead of XML)

curl -k -c cookies.txt "https://jts-test:9443/jts/authenticated/identity"

curl -k -L -b cookies.txt -c cookies.txt -d j_username=612979 -d j_password=612979 https://jts-test:9443/jts/authenticated/j_security_check

curl -o 151.json -k -b cookies.txt "https://jts-test:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/151.json" -H "Content-Type:application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json"

curl -k -v -b cookies.txt "https://jts-test:9443/ccm/oslc/workitems/151.json" --header "Content-Type:application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" --header "Accept:application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" -X PUT --data-binary @151.json "https://jts-test:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/151?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking"
