RQM REST API resource updates: Is it possible to update a resource to have an External ID once it was created with an Internal ID
I have a series of resources that were created from with RQM. They were assigned an internal ID such as:
My understanding is that resources can have an Internal ID such as the automatically generated value above, a user specified External ID, (or a UUID which wee don't need)
Is it possible to update a resource such as that above and update it include an External ID too? We're trying not to delete and create a new record.
So both the URL above and a url such as:
https://rqm.example.com:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/RQM Project/categoryType/OURCATEGORYID_123
would map to the same resource
Accepted answer
If the resource was created with a PUT request using an external ID, it can be referenced by either the internal or external ID. If the resource was created with a POST/PUT request without an ID, it can only be referenced by the internal/generated IDs. For more information, see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#id.
Unfortunately, the resource ID is inimitable.
