 Hello,

Is there a library/reference that can be used to connect to RTC and download defects and execution stats in vba?

I saw 

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/rational-team-concert-visual-basic/index.html?ca=drs-&cm_mc_uid=56866854873914749900596&cm_mc_sid_80200000=1475065521

but thats stand alone visual basic application or im misreading it.

I want to download a data dump from clicking a button.

Cheers,
Paul

I'm not sure if I understand your question. If you are looking into downloading work items from Excel via a macro, I would suggest to consider Jazz Reporting Service, which does that natively.

Check this out:

(It's a bit old but still applicable, I think).

 Thanks for that, but not quite right.


I have multiple queries on RTC which I want to run and then download the results into an excel without ever actually opening RTC in a browser.

I would need to understand the business goal behind such a specific requirement to give you a proper answer, because there are several possibilities. I can think of:

- Write a vba program to make OSLC calls to retrieve the work items, as explained in your original post. That requires some considerable effort.

- Use CURL or write a program to download automatically those multiple queries as csv, then merge them to an Excel file using a macro.

- Use JRS, as I suggested in my previous post. In my opinion, this would be the most elegant solution (and also effortless).
