How can I find a "Filed Against"/Category by following through rootservices
Hi:
I am working on doing some automation using perl and submitting records by curl and the json format. I want to parameterize this as much as I can so that I don't need to recode when moving from the test to the production server. I can look up most of what I need apart from the "Filed Against"/Catgeory information.
http://servername/ccm/rootservices will let me find the services that are offered from the server . I then can use it to request https://servername/ccm/oslc-scm/catalog
I can't see anything to use from this point down to find what I want. I did dump an existing record in JSON format to determine it's category identifier, but there has to be a more elegant way to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Accepted answer
I have not tried myself, but theoretically possible.
Filed Against/Category: https://server/ccm/oslc/categories (produce XML format) Planned for : https://server/ccm/oslc/iterations (produce XML format) If you prefer JSON, use https://server/ccm/oslc/categories.json. Hope this helps ! Kevin Conway selected this answer as the correct answer

Hi:
Yes, that does work. It returns the following in XML:
<rtc_cm:Category rdf:resource="https://servername/ccm/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.workitem.Category/_V0NTsLKJEeK2-dMhs3KyeA">
<rtc_cm:projectArea rdf:resource="https://protojazz.omers.com/ccm/oslc/projectareas/_V3aLH5YhEeKb9J0kvxf3_g"/>
<dc:title>Category Title</dc:title>
<rtc_cm:hierarchicalName>Category Title</rtc_cm:hierarchicalName>
<dc:description/>
<rtc_cm:defaultTeamArea/>
<rtc_cm:teamAreas/>
<rtc_cm:depth>0</rtc_cm:depth>
</rtc_cm:Category>
I can search for the supplied category name and within that XML, I can get the value for the Project name (_V3aLH5YhEeKb9J0kvxf3_g) and the value for the Category name (_V0NTsLKJEeK2-dMhs3KyeA) . As long as the Category name remains unique, I should be fine.
This will give me two possibilities - use the the information from a record that I am creating links to so that I copy the Project and Category names or look up the Project and Category given a supplied Category name.
For reference, where do I find the documentation that gives the URLs that you supplied?
