For anyone who searches for example, I created example code to access and modify the time tracking data for work items and published in this post: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/the-work-item-time-tracking-api/

Hi Berthold,
Are you talking about entering time into fields like time spent?  If so, you may find this post helpful: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/9007/how-to-change-the-value-of-attributes-time-spent-etc.

Hi Lauren, thank you for your answer but no, I was looking to maintain the time tracking values per weekday, not the accumulated value in attribute TimeSpent.

Hi Berthold,

Unfortunately, I don't understand what you mean.  Can you give an example? 


Berthold Kröger commented May 17 '13, 5:36 a.m.

In the Web UI you can open the Time tracking tab in a task work item and enter time spent values for each day. I would like to do the same by a Java API program to avoid double entering that data because we get this information from the SAP system.
Unfortunately I was not able to upload a screenshot to demonstrate it.

Hi Berthold,
Thanks for clarifying!  I'm not sure how to input time tracking information.  Perhaps this post could help get you started: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/112097/rtc-java-api-how-to-get-time-code.

Jazzers,

if looking at the published RTC SDK (setup cp. e.g. Ralph Schoon's Blog) and Java Searching for TimeSheet you can find that the com.ibm.team.rtc.reports.service.test has a class BaseRTCReportTest.
There is a method: createTimesheetEntry that has sample code.  I would have guessed that some parts of it probably rely on internal API but so far I have not found anything. Seems to be all legit parts of the published RTC SDK.

Core method:
with: IWorkItemService workItemService
ITimeSheetEntry entry = workItemService.createTimeSheetEntry(projectArea);

and then
entry.setTimeSpent;
etc. etc.

If this is helpful please mark this answer accepted.
Thanks,
Arne
