[closed] Getting Attributes of a Defect work items

I have done some examples with work items and I cannot find how I can
retrieve fields like Filed Against and Planned for attributes of a
work item. I was looking in methods of IWorkItem and there is no
method get PlannedFor. What should I do and which class should I use
for that?

The methods are IWorkItem#getValue(IAttribute attribute) and
IWorkItem#setValue(IAttribute attribute, Object value)

In order to get the IAttribute, you would use:

IWorkItemClient client= repository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);
IAttribute filedAgainst= client.findAttribute(projectArea,
IWorkItem.CATEGORY_PROPERTY, monitor);

I was able to get attributes with IAttribute class however all I need is to display it as a String, say found in: "1.1.1". When I output IAttribute I get:
Found in: com.ibm.team.workitem.common.internal.model.impl.DeliverableHandleImpl@1c771c77 (stateId: <unset>, itemId: , origin: com.ibm.team.repository.client.internal.TeamRepository@69526952, immutable: true)

Thanks,

immutable: true)

You will have to resolve the resulting deliverable:

IDeliverableHandle handle= (IDeliverableHandle)
workItem.getValue(foundInAttribute);
IDeliverable deliverable= auditableClient.resolveAuditable(handle,
IDeliverable.SMALL_PROFILE, monitor);

display(deliverable.getName());

Thanks for your replay Patrik. I was able to get and display Found In attribute as there is attribute IWorkItem.FOUND_IN_PROPERTY. However for Planned for and Filed against I still have a problem. In the class IWorkIteam I cannot find PLANNED_FOR_PROPERTY String attribute. I don't think it is there. How I can display Planned for and Filed against properties of a work item?

Thanks,

There were terminology changes over time, so the properties you are
looking for are:

Filed Against: IWorkItem.CATEGORY_PROPERTY
Planned For: IWorkItem.TARGET_PROPERTY

Thanks, I was able to successfully get the Category with using ICategoryHandle and ICategory classes. I still have problems with TARGET_PROPERTY.

IIterationHandle iterHandle = (IIterationHandle)item.getValue(plannedFor);

Iteration iter = auditableClient.resolveAuditable(iterHandle,IIteration.SMALL_PROFILE, monitor);


But there is no attriubute IIteration.SMALL_PROFILE in class IIteration. Am I doing something wrong?

Myroslav,

Try the following:

IIteration iter = (IIteration) repository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(iterHandle, IItemManager.DEFAULT, monitor);

Regards,
Samit Mehta

Iteration iter =
auditableClient.resolveAuditable(iterHandle,IIteration.SMALL_PROFILE,
monitor);


But there is no attriubute IIteration.SMALL_PROFILE in class
IIteration. Am I doing something wrong?

Use Samit's approach or alternatively, you can use

ItemProfile.ITERATION_DEFAULT

instead of

IIteration.SMALL_PROFILE

Thanks to your and Samits replies.

Another question I have is how to retrieve all iterations available for a project ares. I check the ProjectArea class and could not get a method for it.

Thanks,
Myroslav

Iteration iter =
auditableClient.resolveAuditable(iterHandle,IIteration.SMALL_PROFILE,
monitor);

Try:

IProjectArea.getDevelopmentLines()
IDevelopmentLine.getIterations()
IIteration.getChildren()
