Why are OSLC update requests causing artifact links to disappear?

 I am modifying a Capability workitem's "Planned For" attribute using OSLC requests from VBA.  When I modify the attribute using the following request, all of the linked items under the "Links" page disappear.


<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <oslc_cm:ChangeRequest>
        <rtc_cm:plannedFor>https://<server>/ccm/oslc/iterations/_HaogPoLeEemIA4r_U-X20w</rtc_cm:plannedFor>
    </oslc_cm:ChangeRequest>
</rdf:RDF>

I am using the following headers:

    http.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/xml"
    http.setRequestHeader "Accept", "application/xml"
    http.setRequestHeader "OSLC-Core-Version", "2.0"

And I am sending the request to the following link:

https://<server>:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/12225

When I modify the same workitem/attribute using the web GUI, this does not happen.  Why is this happening and what can I do to avoid it?

 Try:

<rtc_cm:plannedFor rdf:resource="https://<server>/ccm/oslc/iterations/_HaogPoLeEemIA4r_U-X20w"/>

I just tried it and the same thing happens.  The workitem is updated and the links disappear.

 you may need to GET the resource, add your property then PUT to do the update. a PUT without a GET may be updating the whole resource, not just patching the properties you changed.

But if thats the case, then why aren't any other attributes changing?  Its just the links that are changing when I change any attribute.

 Try OSLC-Core-Version=1.0

When I try that, I get this as a response:


 debug.Print(workItemDoc.xml)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <oslc_cm:status>415</oslc_cm:status>
    <oslc_cm:message>Content type 'application/xml' is not supported.</oslc_cm:message>
</oslc_cm:error>

 Its probably expecting content-type=application/rdf+xml

Nope

<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <oslc_cm:status>406</oslc_cm:status>
    <oslc_cm:message>Content type 'application/rdf+xml' is not supported.</oslc_cm:message>

</oslc_cm:error>
