 Hi, We have just started using RTC in one of our client projects. 


We need to be able to use its REST APIs to manage defects, i.e., get details of single or multiple defects, create defects, update defects and so on.

I am searching for online help and documentation but too much material is confusing, and I'm not able to proceed with my design.

Are there examples of how I can achieve my goal? Please let me know how I can use REST API to manipulate defects in my RTC installation.

Thanks

While REST (OSLC) implementation of RTC doesn't support features, it can be used to an extent.


Try out some examples given in https://jazz.net/library/article/635 

This should be a good start.

Once you have specific questions, it is easy to answer.

Just to check, when you say "REST(OSLC) implementation of RTC doesn't support features", did you mean that not all features of RTC are available through the OSLC API (which is true), or something else?

 Hi Karthik krishnan,


I try to get defect and post a defect using rest api.
When i try with postman its working fine.
But while try using java code using jersey rest client, its gives me html page as response.
 
Header values I set as below in the sample code.     
                RestRequest request = new RestRequest();
request.getHeaders().put("Accept", "application/json");
request.getHeaders().put("Authorization", "Basic anlvdGk6anlvdGk=");
request.setBaseUrl("https://192.168.2.222:9443/ccm");
request.setPath("/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/2");
request.setMethod("GET");

Response :
status - 200 and below html page

Hello Karthik,

I try to follow this issue chain to reach you. Can I ask you a question about RTC and OSLC_CM REST API? Let me send this first to test my question.

Great! It finally works. Ok, here is my question. I'm trying to use Python script to query work items in IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) 6.0.3. I use Python package rtcclient 0.6.0 to access RTC server. As I know, rtcclient needs OSLC_CM REST API support. For some reason, my query doesn't work so I'm wondering if our RTC 6.0.3 has OSLC_CM REST API. I asked many people including our RTC administrator. So far, nobody can answer my simple question. Could you tell me if RTC 6.0.3 has the OSLC_CM REST API? or how can I find out if it has it? Thank you so much for your help!

Donald, sorry for that. I did open a new post two weeks ago and didn't get useful help. Karthik seems to be pretty knowledgeable so I tried to reach him. Thank you for your help!
