In RRC, how do I create an "Implemented By" link using the REST API and C#?

Hello,

I am trying to create an "Implemented By" link using the REST API in C# for an artifact in RRC to a work item in RTC.  I have referred to this post for a little guidance, but it is not very clear.

Basically what I did first was make a GET post to an artifact using the it's URL and by specifying the link type that I want:

https://server/rm/resources/_vvjWoMz8EeKAvJ3otSDu6Q?oslc_cm.properties=oslc_rm:implementedBy

This call provided me with an XML format that I copied as the body of my PUT post.  Also, thanks to the post mentioned above, this allowed me to capture the ETAG header which I then added as an "If-Match" header for for my PUT.

When trying to PUT the modified XML along with the header, I keep getting a Forbidden error with the message:

<err:detailedMessage rdf:datatype="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">CRRRS6402E Content is not allowed. Content type must be application/rdf+xml (More info found at entry [3669ba3c2e64a332] in RRS server log)</err:detailedMessage>

All my headers have "Content-Type" set to "application/rdf+xml" but it makes no difference.  Along with this header I have "OSLC-Core-Version" set to "2.0", "Accept" ser to "application/rdf+xml", and the "If-Match" header mentioned above.

Am I missing something?  Is there another way to get the XML format?  The String that I am using as my request body looks as follows:

"<rdf:RDF " +
"xmlns:rdf=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#\" " +
"xmlns:dcterms=\"http://purl.org/dc/terms/\" " +
"xmlns:oslc_cm=\"http://open-services.net/ns/cm#\" " +
"xmlns:rtc_cm=\"http://jazz.net/xmlns/prod/jazz/rtc/cm/1.0/\" > " +
"<rdf:Description rdf:nodeID=\"A0\">" +
"<rdf:subject rdf:resource=\"" + _requirement.about + "\"/>" +
"<rdf:predicate rdf:resource=\"http://open-services.net/ns/rm#implementedBy\"/>" +
"<rdf:object rdf:resource=\"" + _changeRequest.about + "\"/>" +
"<rdf:type rdf:resource=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#Statement\"/>" +
"<dc:title>" + _changeRequest.identifier + ": " + _changeRequest.title + "</dc:title>" +
"</rdf:Description>" +
"</rdf:RDF>";

where _requirement is the artifact and _changeRequest is the work item that I am linking the artifact to.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Andrew

Hi,
RM does not support oslc_properties for update. You should do an OSLC get to the complete RM artifact, modify the link information and do the PUT .

@gra

Thanks for the information.  When I do the PUT, do I have to put the entire XML back again that contains the attributes and values that don't concern the link, or can I slim down the XML content and only put the link?
Do you have an example by any chance?
Regards,
Andrew

Andrew, you have to put back the entire XML. Looks for examples at : https://jazz.net/library/article/1197
