Finding linked Related Change management


Brian Wolfe (25613625) | asked Sep 23 '09, 4:37 p.m.
Creating a query on the web, Related Change Management item is not available and in eclipse, it only allows me to filter based on exists.

How do I find workitems related to a particular defect?

In the same vein as Brian's question:

1. RTC Project/Team Area has a defined behavior that forces the association of a work item with every change set that is delivered

2. From the overview tab of a build there is a link to "associate work items" with a build. What is the process to to either
a. Explicitly/Automatically associate given work items with a build
b. Query a work item to know what build it was included in
c. Change the state of a work item based upon it being in/associated with a
a build.

'Related Change Management' refers to links that point to a change request
in a remote repository, e.g. a link to a CQ record.

What you are looking for is probably the link type 'Related', which is
used to relate RTC work items in the same repository.
This link attribute is fully queryable, and can be used both in the Web UI
and the Eclipse UI.

Nope -- you are missing the point.

We keep defects in ClearQuest.
The bridge is enabled between RTC and CQ and users create Related Change management artifact links.
I can see the defect ID in the link.
I can go open the CQ defect.
Given defect ID XXXXXXX, I want to find all workitems which have been linked to it.

Not only is querying on this link type not supported on the web, but the eclipse client only allows me to search based on the link type exists or not exists

The link type 'Related Change Management Artifact' is declared as a URI
link, so everything we know about the link target is that it is a URI, but
we don't know (and thus can't allow to query) the target artifact itself.

The ID that is shown in the UI for these links is the link comment, which
was stored on link creation. It is planned to support querying the comment
and the URI of a link, which would solve your problem:

This link type not showing up in the Web is a bug in 2.0 and has been
fixed in 2.0.0.2.

in RTC 2.0x We introduced a ClearQuest Viewlet "Workitems with ClearQuest Records" under ClearQuest Category, this allows users to select existing Work item query and toggle the display between workitems with ClearQuest record links and workitems without clearQuest links.

Hopefully this helps ?

thanks,
Sreedhar.
