CQ Rest API "View Record" returns only ID
I am using powershell to try and pull defect info from clearquest. I am using REST API and specifically testing out the "Create Rest URI Wizard -> View Record" from the CQ web page. When I Invoke-RestMethod from powershell on the generated URI I only receive back the record ID, and when I enter the URI into a browser all I see is a blank page with again.. just the record ID. I should be able to see more right? like the description. headline, severity, owner, etc...
code
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri1
write-output $response
output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8?>
<cqresponse xmlns="http://ibm.com/rational/clearquest/web/v7.1"><displayname>my_db0000009</displayname><fields></cqresponse>
Any help or direction would be life saving. I did ensure that XML/ATOM is enabled with REST URI's and that Credentials can be passed with URIs from the site configuration.
