Root category values not available

0
Steffen Padberg (13●2) | asked Aug 20 '19, 8:03 a.m.
 Hello, 

when I try to retrieve the CategoryType values in QM via REST API it does work only for child CategoryTypes, where I get an XML answer with a valueset element. For root CategoryTypes there is no such element, even if there are clearly values set. 

Is this a bug or is it possible to retrieve values of root CategoryTypes? 

Thanks in advance!

 Hi,


The valueset is a set of categories from the categoryType parent grouping a subset of a categoryType. So root categories cannot have a valueset as they have not a parent. You could get the categories for a category type by getting the feed of categoried filtered by categoryType. Following is an example:

https://serverdomain:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/PROJECT+ALIAS/category?fields=feed/entry/content/category/categoryType[@href='categoryTypeUri']

where categoryTypeUri kind of: https://serverdomain:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/PROJECT+ALIAS/categoryType/urn:com.ibm.rqm:categoryType:_uuid

regards,
napoles
