How can I discover the alias from a RQM PA if I have over 512 PA?

Hello,

I've been using the Project Feed Service to get the aliases from RQM Project Areas (https://server:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/projects). However, as the number of Projects Areas increased, I found out that the feed displays a limited number of Project Areas (512). As of now, I have over 1000 Project Areas, so I am able to see only half of them through this feed.
I checked the Advanced Properties page in RQM, and changed the "Max Feed Entries/Page" property under "com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.internal.IntegrationService" to 1000. However I got the same number of Project Areas.
Is there a way to paginate the feed so I can navigate through all my Project Areas? Or is there an alternative way to get the aliases from the Project Areas?

Thanks in advance.

 If the feed spans multiple pages, it should include links to other pages that look like something like this:

<link rel="next" href="https://localhost:9443/qm/secure/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/Quality+Manager/requirement?token=1274378633113&amp;page=1"/>

The size of a feed page is variable. When a feed spans multiple pages, a link to the next page is provided in the current page (see ATOM paging specification). Note, a feed page size more than the maximum of 512 is rounded down to 512.  For more information, see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Advanced_Properties and https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Feeds.

Thanks Ara and Paul. I checked the feed but could not find any links to other pages. I tried adding a page parameter to the URL (https://server:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/projects?page=2), but I always getting the same page with the first 512 Project Areas. I searched the XML, but couldn't find anything related to pagination there. Am I missing anything?

Thanks again!

Hi Andre,

Looks like there is a defect with paging the project feed.  Please see Project feed does not support paging. (123372).

Thanks Paul!
Still I am not able to see the aliases for almost half of the Active PAs. Are there any workarounds for discovering the alias of a PA?

Thanks again.

Unfortunately, there is no work-around.  I would suggest to open a RQM PMR so we can backport this fix to a iFix release.

Paul, once again thanks for you help. I guess I'm out of options, so I will have to open a PMR.
