RQM REST API: How to obtain possible states of an executionresult?


Rophy Tsai (231217) | asked Sep 23 '14, 12:15 p.m.
 Greetings, 

Using RQM Reportable REST API (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi),
I have a few questions about executionresult states obtained from a GET /executionresult/id

1) state is a name like 'com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.failed', how do I obtain the possible list of such names?

2) are these possible states customizable in RQM (using either UI or API)? 

3) if they're customizable, how do I get Display Name of a state?

Accepted answer

1) com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.paused
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.inprogress
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.notrun
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.passed
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.perm_failed
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.incomplete
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.inconclusive
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.part_blocked
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.deferred
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.failed
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.error
com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.blocked

You can always set a state in the RQM UI and GET the execution result to determine the state.

Please open a RQM defect to update https://jazz.net/products/rational-quality-manager/api-doc-5.0/schemas/qm_xsd/elements/executionresult.html#a5.

2) Yes, see >> Execution States.

3) Unfortunately, the display name of the state is not exposed in the
RQM Reportable REST API.  Please open a RQM defect

 Superb, thank you for such detailed answers!


I'm not sure what to open defect for the part of api-doc.  I opened an enhancement for possibility to 
1) obtaining display name
2) obtaining list of possible states (given that states are customizable and not fixed).

For 1), see The qm:executionresult/alm:state property does not document default execution states. (124431).
