Setting absences using the Server Side API

I found a way from AbstractService, to at least get at the data.
You can get the handle for IContributorRecord which is a class that provides all the data, including the details, which include the absences. This might be another way through the server API.

The only API I am aware of is described here: http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2014/07/22/manage-scheduled-absences-using-the-plainjava-client-libraries/

If you look for references to any of the classes used or for "ResourcePlanning" you will notice that there are only references to com.ibm.apt.*.common and com.ibm.apt.*.client and that there is no service (at least I could find) for this.

Common api is for client and server, however, all I was able to find are the resource model classes. No common service.

If you find something, let me know.

@Sam, as far as I know, the WebUI uses the client API.

Hy Francisco,

I've found out how you can do it with the ServerSide API.
Hopefully I didn't  meant something different.
But here's my solution:

First you have to require the needed Class:
dojo.require("com.ibm.team.apt.web.client.internal.ResourcePlanningClient");

If you wanna see the class watch it here:
"installs\rtc-sdk\plugins\com.ibm.team.apt.web.client_3.0.800.v20131025_0417\resources\internal"
In RTC 4.0.5
There you can see the different parameters you could use.

So on... you have to set up a serviceResponseHandler.

var serviceObjectSprints = {
          self: this, //This you don't really need. But in this way you could iteract with the viewlet [this.self.test()]
          success: function(page) {
          },
          failure: function (error) {
          }
}
var srh = new ServiceResponseHandler(serviceObjectSprints, "success", "failure");
var args = {
       addedAbsences: { "description": "nameOfAbsence",
                                     "startDate": "ISO String",
                                     "endDate": " 2014-07-24T00:00:00+02:00" //This is an ISO-String
                  },
       contributorId: //The ID of the user you wanna add the absence
};

ResourcePlanningClient.postAbsences(srh, args);

To be honest, I didn't tryed it out.... but this is the key ;)
If it won't work, I gonna try it for you if you want.
