List iteration resolved work items in Ant build.xml script

When you say "list all of the resolved work items", do you mean:
- since the last build, or
- all of the resolved work items in the build in the "current iteration"
- something else?

If you are thinking about something like the "show changes" view in the
Jazz build report, then that is the first query (i.e. "all work items
containing changes added since the last build"). Note that this report
is not affected by the status of the work item (i.e. the work item might
still be in progress), but is just "work items that contain change sets
that have been added since the last build".

And also note that this report is the result of a query to the RTC SCM
component (to get the list of change sets), and then a query to the RTC
link component (to find the work items that are linked to those change
sets). So it is not just a question of writing a custom Ant task, but
also a question of computing that information from ClearCase (e.g.,
running a diffbl, assuming you are using SCM).

Hi, I need to list all of the resolved work items, sort by date, with
the most recently resolved listed first in the project Ant build
script.

My project is not using the RTC build yet, so we just have this
standalone build.xml that runs all the build tasks ( no RTC source
control yet too, we are using ClearCase) and need to generate a
simple text report with the resolved iteration work items from RTC.
Is there a clever way of doing this or do I need to write a custom Ant
task using the RTC build toolkit to do this?

Thanks!

Hi Geoff, I need to list all of the resolved work items in the build in the "current iteration".

Can I get it done from my Ant build script?


Thanks!

To do, this, you would have to be using UCM. And then you would have to
associate UCM activities with RCM work items (such as is done by the new
ClearCase Bridge that is planned for RTC-2.0). Then you would have to
write an Ant script that calls diffbl on the baseline for your build
(comparing it with the "initial baseline" of that component). And then
you would need to lookup all of the work items that are associated with
any UCM activity that is reported by that diffbl.
