How do I use RPE to get RRC/DNG artifact details after following links from other RRC/DNG artifacts?

Greetings All,

I am using RPE 1.2.1 to report on RRC/DNG 4.0.5.  I have created a report in which, for each artifact (requirement), the identifier and primary text are shown, followed by the identifier of all parent and/or child linked artifacts.  However, my report is not complete until I am showing the primary text of the linked requirements, instead of only the identifier.  I have made reports which start at a workitem (in RTC) or a testcase (in RQM) and then from the link reveal both the identifier and primary text.  I have found that the same logic does not apply here, apparently because a "cycle" (loop) would be created.

I know this is probably a basic question, but I haven't found anywhere that it is currently addressed.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

-John

Hi Jeff (John)

Not sure what you're looking for is possible that way

To get to the linked artifact information  you need to access the given artifact. I did that in a report

1) search for the parent artifact, and grab the id of the linked child and put it in a attribute as string
2) create a new dynamic source and configure it by creating the query containing the id I've found before, this actually in a loop, so you can get all child
 a) Use a script to generate the URL and assign it to another variable
     _childDataURL= _baseURL+"/publish/text?resourceURI="+[the_id]+ "&showEmbedTitles="+ showEmbedTitles;
b) use this variable as URI for the Data Source Configuration


Hope this helps
