List of work items and their parents via SCM


Reed Pny (112) | asked Jun 07 '16, 3:25 p.m.
Hi,

I create a list of work items via scm compare between two snapshots:

$ scm compare snapshot 3032 snapshot 2771 -I w
Work Item 111: Allow defining permissions for project and team areas in the Web UI
Work Item 222: Set up some sort of Jazz Foundation build
Work Item 333: TCT031b: Jazz Translations - more variables

The point is, how can I get parent IDs of the listed work items in the command line with SCM?

For example, how can I get the parent id of the work item 111 via SCM?

I believe you want to find the parent workitem of the listed workitem(s). Scm command line only deals with scm artifacts and although it lists the workitems associated with a change set it does not have any commands to perform operation on a workitem. You have to write a script and use the Workitem api's to get this information.
