Hi,

I want to create a remote change set, like below:

After click the change set link, you can see details of change at Github:

Above is how jazzHub track changes to your Github source code.

This change set is a bit different:

1.Seems it doesn't belong to an existing component

2.It can refer to an external link , not only an existing workItem in RTC.

Now I can create change sets using following code:

IChangeSetHandle changeSet = workspace.createChangeSet (component, "comment", true, null);

IFileSystemWorkItemManager itemManager = (IFileSystemWorkItemManager) repo

.getClientLibrary(IFileSystemWorkItemManager.class);

List<ILink> link = itemManager.createLink(wsHandle, changeSet,

new IWorkItemHandle[] { (IWorkItemHandle)workItem.getItemHandle()}, null);

But the change sets I created must belong to an existing component, and it must to an existing workItem.

How to create remote change sets using plain java library or REST API ?

Thanks!

Hi,
I have a few follow up questions for you:

Can you confirm you are using JazzHub?
The screenshot you included above is linking a GitHub commit to a work item in JazzHub. This link was created automatically by using the GitHub integration with JazzHub. I think that you are trying to create a remote change set using the plain java library or the REST API, not using the GitHub integration with JazzHub. Is that right?
Can you explain what you mean by creating a remote change set? Where is the code stored that you are trying to create?

Thanks for your reply!

1.No, I am using RTC.

2.Yes, I want to create a remote change set using the plain java library or the REST API in RTC.

3.I store code in Gitorious, and use RTC as issue tracker.

I want to do the same thing like GitHub integration with JazzHub, when I excute "git commit –am "Update the hello script, per bug 1544" to Gitorious, my post-receive hook will add a link to my push to work item 1544.

I'm not familiar with any Gitorious integrations. I know that to setup the JazzHub integration with GitHub, we had to setup the Git Adapter on our server (https://jazz.net/library/article/854/). I'm not sure if the Git Adapter would work with Gitorious. Hopefully, someone else can point you in the right direction.

Remote change set links are created when linking a change set on one server to a work item on another server.

To create the link, use IWorkspaceManager#createLinks(). These are OSLC links and it's how distributed SCM works with work item linking. However, it is marked as experimental so be prepared if it is deprecated.
