Chen, you will have to write that yourself.

There are various examples for this kind of API on https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/ most of the posts there are based on examples on Jazz.net https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/interesting-links/ for more. For development you should look into https://jazz.net/library/article/1000. Currently that works only for RTC 4.0. It is in the progress of being updated to make it usable for other RTC versions. I am not sure however, when we will get it on the web site.

https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/attribute-customization-java-based-value-providers-conditions-and-validators/ contains common API you would be interested in.

Most examples on the blog are follow up actions. The difference between an advisor and a follow up action is the extension point as described in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/restrict-delivery-of-changesets-to-workitem-types-advisordelivery-of-changesets-associated-to-wrong-work-item-types-advisor/

Good luck.

Hi,Ralph. I don' t find the API: which team area does the owner  belong to on workitem?

Chen, the team area the work item belongs to can be found using the category. To understand what team area and what role a user has, have a look at https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/attribute-customization-java-based-value-providers-conditions-and-validators/ the method SampleCurrentUserHasRoleCondition can give you some hints. Also interesting API (but client API) is described in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/12/09/analyzing-a-aroject-areas-members-and-roles-using-the-plain-java-client-libraries/ . To understand what you are up to if you want to do this, start reading here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/setting-up-rational-team-concert-for-api-development/

Not sure right now, if using permissions would be easier. If the user is not member of the team area, what role does he have? Prevent "Everyone" from saving the work item? I would try that first. I am currently not completely sure if users that are member of the project or parent project areas have. See https://jazz.net/library/article/291

Hi Ralph,on fact  I want to make these warning message to the error message ,prevent the user save the work item if appear this error message , I have to extend the procondition?

This has nothing to do with a precondition. I am not sure how this is implemented. It might be a validator. I think it is built in and not configurable. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/AttributeCustomization to understand validators. JavaScript however would not allow you to do this either, due to its API limitations. An option would possibly be a java based validator as described in https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/attribute-customization-java-based-value-providers-conditions-and-validators/ . This would work for the Web UI and the Eclipse UI. An advisor/precondition would only prevent the save and not show an error. Permissions would also just prevent the save.

I am not aware of any way to achieve the change you desire - making the warning an error in the display. There are only the following ways I am aware: Use permissions - only users with certain roles in the team area (which requires to be member of the team, except for the Everyone role) Extend RTC with a Java based validator that checks the condition and returns the error AND using the operational behavior Attribute Validation (should give you exactly what you ask for) - I checked and the mechanism above showing the icon Extend RTC and create an advisor/precondition that prevents saving What you see above is configured this way: and shows in the presentation editor like this: And I am not aware you can change this to error.
