Hi,

to find work items by id or other parameter simply use work item query programmatically. Links (to e.g. Ralph Schoon's blog) and code snippets amply shared like in this post: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/72975/getting-work-items-through-plain-java-api

Probably best to write a utility method such as getWorkItemById(String myId) that uses the query concept.

Please post a new question if you need anything in particular.
