Need a script that is used to get the WI details such as Summary, Filed Against, etc which is used by our scripts. What do I need to download? Where do I point the cmd line prompt? Is there a document to shows examples of such a script?

Thanks

As far as I know, such scripts do not exist. The RTC SCM command line has some commands related to work items and change sets.

The work item command line comes closest but does not yet have an option to just export one work item. This would have to be added. I never had the time, unfortunately.

It is relatively simple to create a small plain java application see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/understanding-and-using-the-rtc-java-client-api/ and https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/working-with-work-item-attributes/ for more details.

I always wanted to have something like this and found an opportunity to put it into the Work Item Command Line.

Version 4.0.3 has it: https://github.com/jazz-community/work-item-command-line

-printworkitem
    repository="value" 
    user="value" 
    password="value" 
    id="value"
    /allColumns 
    /asrtceclipse 
    /attributeNamesAsIDs  

    /ignoreErrors 
    /suppressAttributeExceptions 
    /ignoreErrors 
    [attachmentFolder="C:\temp\export"]
    [timestampFormat="MMM d, yyyy hh:mm a"]
    [columns="Type,Id,Planned For,Filed Against,Description,Found In"]

I will try to blog about it on https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/ as soon as I can. The latest code in the repository does it. It needs a latest opencsv library and a library commons-lang3-3.1.jar in the lib folder to support the CSV export and import feature.

Open CSV and commons-lang are only needed for CSV export and -import.

WCL 4.3 is for RTC 6.5 and later. For older versions the CSV export and import might not work.
