How do I create a follow-up action to calculate total estimated hours on child tasks when the parent story is saved?

 Thanks Ralph,

Sorry, did not see this.

There is no change in the API's. I try to update observations in changes to the Extension workshop/SDK setup for the newer versions and publish that on my blog.

Hi Ralph,

I am working my way thru the "Rational Team Concert Extensions Workshop".  I have version 6.0.1 and so I tried to follow the instructions found @ https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2016/02/04/running-the-rtc-extensions-workshop-with-rtc-6-0-x/.  I have to say that they were less than clear when it came to explaining the difference between the Tomcat (4.0) steps and the WAS Liberty (6.0) steps.  As I am trying to set up on a Windows env, I didn't worry about the comments about Linux.  The section titled "Section 1.3 Setup the RTC Tomcat Server" is particularly confusing. I performed the modifications to the server.startup.bat file and modified the WorkShopSetup.bat file as described but can't move forward.

I am doing this so that I can create the plug-in to "roll-up" the hours from child tasks to the parent story, as you had described in your blog.  Do I need to go thru all the parts of the workshop to be able to create that plug-in?

I do as good as I can. Since there is very little useful feedback, there is not much progress.

Sorry to hear that you can't move forward. Since you don't provide any details, nothing we can do to help.

If you don't perform the workshop, you can still try to develop an extension. But since you don't have a working debug environment and no experience or idea what you are doing, I would consider not to try to do it. It is a waste of time and will likely not end well or take 10 to 20 times longer than if you did the workshop.

I have seen many here in the forum that refused or failed to setup the debug environment failing miserably and wasting everyones time in lengthy discussion threads.  

HI Ralph,

First of all, my apologies if I sounded like I was criticizing the work that you have done. Nothing could be farther from how I feel. I am extremely grateful that you have done what you have. I have been able to move forward and have made it up to Lab 5, Adding an Aspect Editor, and plan to got thru Lab 6 also, unless there is a reason not to go that far.  I appear to have a functioning debug environment and I am planning on using it to follow the code you shared to develop the extension to roll up the hours. I completely understand the need to get a grasp of the fundamentals before proceeding.  As mentioned before I am a complete neophyte when it comes to doing this and so was just trying to understand if it was the best way to get there.

In case I didn't say it strongly enough, THANK YOU!
