Workitem Save
Is it possible to intercept a Workitem Save operation, and display a "Do you want to save... Yes, No, Cancel" popup? "Yes" would continue the Save operation. "No" would terminate the Save operation. "Cancel" would do nothing and leave the user with unsaved changes on their UI.
I want this to be conditional based on some logic... for example, if I detect a attribute in the workitem to be a 'invalid' value, I would tell the user... and the user could choose to override my message and save anyway. Thanks, Dave |

Hi
Maybe you could use an IOperationAdvisor for that? More info available from: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/PreconditionFollowupCreation. Regards Marcel Jazz Work Item team |

I am familiar with preconditions and follow-up actions for Work Item Save. They run on the server. I don't see how to bring up a 'are you sure... Y/N/Cancel' box from a server precondition. The API doesn't appear to support it. And this must work with both the Eclipse and Web client.
Can you elaborate on the approach? Or point to some existing code that has this functionality that we can review? Or perhaps this is not possible... if that is the case, we need to know that. Thanks, Dave |

Hi
With the precondition, you can cancel the save on the server and the Team Advisor will show your message on the client. Then the user can override the condition if desired and save again. But I think there is no Team Advisor in the Web/UI. Regards Marcel Jazz Work Item team |
For a client-side pre-condition, you can use Eclipse API to present a message or prompt, or other UI. You need to be careful to keep the UI responsive, but this is a reasonable option. Obviously this pre-condition couldn't be used on the server.
Hope this helps. Thanks, Scott Rich Jazz Team |

ok... so let's summarize... tell me if this is correct:
I want to intercept the Work Item Save operation, which is a server operation. Therefore, my precondition must also be a server precondition. For a user with the Eclipse client, I could throw an error message from this precondition to the Team Advisor that the user can override. For a user with the Web client, there is no solution. Correct? Thanks, Dave |
Yes, your summary is correct: the Advisor Web UI is basically an error
dialog without any means of interaction. I suggest to file an enhancement request against Process. --andre weinand RTC Work Item Team On 2009-05-11 23:47:57 +0200, deweber@us.ibm-dot-com.no-spam.invalid (deweber) said: ok... so let's summarize... tell me if this is correct: |
