Hello!

Is any way to get text data for Rational DOORs Next Generation text artifact with OSLC or Reportable API?

I was trying to get history of an artifact with:

https://<server>:9443/rm/publish/resources?resourceURI=_HlSQwb_UEeegWoVqUPnDvQ&history=true

It gives a history of entries with such data as:

<history:oldValue type="url">
https://<server>:9443/rm/resources/_ItKe0b_UEeegWoVqUPnDvQ?revision=_IteA0b_UEeegWoVqUPnDvQ
</history:oldValue>
<history:value type="url">
https://<server>:9443/rm/resources/_JtU7Ub_UEeegWoVqUPnDvQ?revision=_JthIkb_UEeegWoVqUPnDvQ
</history:value>

But I can not get text content with these values from an external program.

If I do a request for revisions:

https://<server>:9443/rm/resources/_Esg9wb_dEeegWoVqUPnDvQ?revisions

So I can not find text data there.

May be somebody realized the same ever. If it's available, can somebody give a little advice how to do it correctly? If not possible, so could you confirm it?

My question is made after investigating of other questions:

https://jazz.net/forum/questions/179378/how-to-access-dng-artifact-history-using-the-rest-api

But I can not find there clear answer to my question!

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi Dmitry,

I think your best bet is using the "history" parameter as described in one of the other posts you mentioned. This ends up using the reportable REST API, for example:

https://<server>:<port>/rm/publish/resources?resourceURI=_UCe30MABEeeW25QDs6YRwQ&history=true

Hi Benjamin,

Thank you for quick answer! But the problem is that I applied this parameter, and I can not extract text data from the response's data. The response returns such attributes as:

<history:oldValue type="url">

<history:value type="url">

But I don't know how extract their values with a typical GET request. I can only input them in address field of a browser and open the related web page but not more.

I realize this is a 2 year old thread, but I am encountering the same issue as Dmitry. I want to retrieve the oldValue and value fields. However, the provided URLs (when retrieved) are a bunch of Javascript and not the content I'm after. It looks like it's meant for a web user interface and not to be machine readable.

Is there a solution to this or are we stuck, unable to get the history values?

I'm on Doors NG 6.0.6.1 and I have written a Python program that retrieves all of my system requirements, and one analysis I want to do is to detect when a user changes a particular field of a requirement. I can tell when the Primary Text was altered, but I can't get the actual text that changed via my Python code. I got so close to the solution but now I'm stuck!

It's all about the answers!
