Add users to project area with OSLC
How do I use OSLC to add users to multiple Project Areas. This would be helpful since if have many Project Areas this is very time consuming. Another post was answered but used cURL which is not the same as using OSLC. |

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER The question is missing a product.
As far as I can tell, OSLC is focusing on the domains such as change management, requirements management etc. I am not aware that OSLC works on a common administration API.
Therefore i think there is no OSLC capability for the administrative tasks you ask for. The REST interfaces are the closest to OSLC and my experience so far is that it is usually possible to use OSLC based clients like Lyo for this kind of tasks as well. You might have to play around with the headers.

Comments Hi Ralph, Since I'm a newbie I won't feel bad asking this - what do you mean this question is missing a project? How do I correct that?

Brad, you did not mention any product. There are often differences for different products. So select a product when creating the question so it gets tagged. A version number is also usually mandatory. I'm back to wanting to do this, but still am not sure how.
I need to add users to rm for version 7.0.2.
Can you point me to a specific article that shows how to do this, or provide some code here on how to do this?
Thanks.
The question is still not tagged with a product name. Some additional thoughts, though.
1. OSLC does not know the concept of a project, as far as I can tell. So, as far as i am aware, OSLC can not be used to add members to project areas.
2. The available APIs are listed here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/CLMProductAPILanding. If you look through it, the Jazz Foundation REST APIs might be what would work for you. The other API that would help would be the Plain Java Client Libraries that are part of the EWM Jazz SDK. com.ibm.team.process.common.IProcessArea.addMember(IContributorHandle) can be used to add a member.

Thanks Ralph. I'll look into REST or Lyo. Another post gives a method to use cURL. Comments OSLC is REST based. Lyo or other frameworks are just ways to generate the requests and process the responses. cURL is just another option. Python would work as well.
Lyo, I have provided some hints and experience here: https://jazz.net/library/article/92596
Some other information that might be useful for experimentation is here: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2019/05/13/using-a-rest-client-to-authenticate-to-elm-clm-applications/

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER edited Nov 07 '22, 10:34 a.m. I'd expect this to be possible using the process REST API
by posting to the Members collection, assuming your user has the rights to do this - this is foundation code so should apply to all the apps which have projects. Never tried it so can't comment on the details.
This is not an OSLC API, it's a public API proprietary to IBM Enterprise Lifecycle Management
