POST of a test suite result doesn't return any content


sara chason (27224) | asked Apr 19 '17, 10:05 a.m.

 Hi,

I'm trying to use a GET of a test suite result as a template to create new ones by POSTing the template with different values. what I need as a result is the information of the new test result created but I get nothing.
I tried the same with test case result and I got as a result the basic information: ID, url to new result etc:

<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:rqm="http://schema.ibm.com/rqm/2007#executionresult">

            <rqm:resultId xmlns:rqm="http://schema.ibm.com/rqm/2007#executionresult">14356</rqm:resultId>

            <rqm:resultItemId xmlns:rqm="http://schema.ibm.com/rqm/2007#executionresult">_FLdpoyUIEeempt5qUMUPeA</rqm:resultItemId>

            <rqm:resultExternalId xmlns:rqm="http://schema.ibm.com/rqm/2007#executionresult">slug__FKbH0CUIEeempt5qUMUPeA</rqm:resultExternalId>

</entry>


can someone let me know how to get get the same information when creating a new test suite result?

 

<style> &amp;lt;!-- / Font Definitions / @font-face {font-family:&amp;quot;Cambria Math&amp;quot;; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:&amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;; panose-1:2 11 5 2 4 2 4 2 2 3;} / Style Definitions / p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin-top:0cm; margin-right:0cm; margin-bottom:8.0pt; margin-left:0cm; line-height:107%; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,sans-serif;} .MsoChpDefault {font-family:&amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;,sans-serif;} .MsoPapDefault {margin-bottom:8.0pt; line-height:107%;} / Page Definitions / @page WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 90.0pt 72.0pt 90.0pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --&amp;gt; </style>

What you described is not the expected behavior. In other words, you should not rely on the response body to find out the newly created resource, which is not in the specification. Instead, you should use the response header to proceed further.

1. If using RQM OSLC API, you would POST to the CreationFactory link. If successful, you should get an HTTP 201 code, and the response header "Location" contains resource URI of the newly created resource. Easy.

2. If using the RQM reportable REST API, you would POST to the https://hostname/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/<Project Area>/testsuite/. If successful, you should get an HTTP 201 code, and the response header "Content-Location" contains the ID (also called a slug) of the newly created resource. You can then access it by the link https://hostname/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/<Project Area>/testsuite/<Slug>
