Why isn't an workitem listed in REST after being deleted?


Igor Felix (1025) | asked Jul 02 '15, 9:04 a.m.
 Hello,

I'm trying to understand what happened to deleted workitems. We were using a REST query to identity which workitems where excluded from JAZZ ALM, so that these workitems would be deleted from our relational database. But it seems that the removed workitems are no longer being listed with the query below:

https://server:port/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=generic/deletedWorkItem/(*)

Can someone help in understanding this behavior? Is it a normal behavior, or should at least the itemId of the workitem be listed with this REST query?

Thanks in advance,
Igor Felix

That query does return a list of deleted itemIds for me (in RTC 5.0).  I also get the same results with:
https://server:port/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/deletedWorkItem/(*)

What results are you getting?  What version of RTC are you using?

  I am using RTC version 5.0.2. Some workitems indeed are listed with this query, but I've created another and then deleted it, but its itemId was not on the whole list returned.

Does the returned list contain exactly 100 itemIds?  In the response from the server is there a "next" URL referenced (search on "next")?

 Already checked, the nextPage is empty. I've tried the same with a filter, like this:



And nothing was returned. This is the itemId of the workitem I've deleted.

 Okay, please forgive me, I've realized it is a mistake. There are some pages that return no values, and when I go forward, the itemID is listed. Thanks for the quick answer.
