Increasing work item query result size via Java API no more working in RTC 6.0.4


Marko Tomljenovic (31645109) | asked Feb 16 '18, 11:08 a.m.

On this blog Ralph Schoon describes how a big amount of work items can be synchronized:


Especially this piece of code is important since it increased the query result size:
IQueryResult expression_results = resultsUnresolvedByExpression(
    teamRepository, projectArea, typeinProjectArea);
expression_results.setLimit(Integer.MAX_VALUE);
    
A call to expression_result.setLimit has no effect anymore in RTC 6.0.4 plain Java API. Does this "feature" need to be enabled on the server or is it simply a bug?

I found the root cause of the problem. The above call is working if you do not do the following:


if 
expression_results.getResultSize(monitor).getTotalAvailable() 
is called before 
expression_results.setLimit() 
then a call to set limit has no effect any more. As it seems the call to getTotalAvailable() finalizes the limit of the query result size.

I personally do not know whether this is a very bad API design or simply a bug.

I think I mention in my post that the limit needs to be set as a first operation. If you do anything before this statement, the limit is not changed.
