How to save user's absence information programmatically?


Xin Li (161) | asked Apr 16 '09, 6:17 a.m.
Hello,

I want to save user's absence information programmatically.

It seems to refer to IContributorAbsence , ContributorAbsence or OutOfOfficeItem.

However, I don`t know how to use them. Could anyone professional help me? :?:

It is still valid for 3.x and 4.x.  It is not straightforward to use however.  Caveat machinator!

Hi Michael,

Does this solution is still valid for RTC 3.0?

Thanks,
Best Regards,

You can create absences programatically similar to the following
snippet. Note that this is internal API and is subject to change at any
time without notice.

Timestamp startDate= null;
Timestamp endDate= null;
IContributor owner;
ITeamRepository teamRepository;

IResourcePlanningClient resourcePlanningClient=
(IResourcePlanningClient)
teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IResourcePlanningClient.class);
ContributorAbsence absence= (ContributorAbsence)
IContributorAbsence.ITEM_TYPE.createItem();

absence.setSummary("My Summary");
absence.setStartDate(startDate);
absence.setEndDate(endDate);
absence.setContributor(owner);

resourcePlanningClient.saveAbsences(new ContributorAbsence[] { absence
}, new SubProgressMonitor(monitor, 1));

I have tried the snippet, but I met two problems. One is it can not
find IResourcePlanningClient class, and the other is it seems that
internal classes can not be accessed when it is compiled.

you need to add a dependency to the com.ibm.team.apt.client bundle.
because the API is internal and not exported, you must set the
respective compile problem as warning rather than error

Could you explain it more in details? Thank you again.
