Hi, I did GET request and got the xml content , Then i modified the actual results in that xml and trying to PUT it again .After PUT i am getting code 200 OK (that means no error ) but when i actually see the results in tool results are not modified
please help anyone ?

Update 
PS:- <actualResults> is not the title
I see that i can change the <title> but Not the <stepResults >
I think it is some kind of limitation  
Any workaround ? 

Sample code 
<ns16:stepResult href="https://qm.xxxx.oncloudone.com/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/EES+V_V+Certification/executionelementresult/_KOMdMVFtEeutaIe53Y8_aw" stepIndex="1" ns1:id="_KOMdMVFtEeutaIe53Y8_aw" endTime="2021-01-08T04:51:40.079Z" startTime="2021-01-08T04:51:40.079Z" result="com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.passed">
<ns16:startTime>2021-01-08T04:51:40.079Z</ns16:startTime>
<ns16:endTime>2021-01-08T04:51:40.079Z</ns16:endTime>
<ns16:result>com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.state.passed</ns16:result>
<ns16:expectedResult>
<div dir="ltr">policy create&#160;</div>
</div>
</ns16:expectedResult>
<ns16:actualResult>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">policy was created&#160;</div>
</ns16:actualResult>
<ns16:description>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">1.create the policy</div>
</ns16:description>
<ns16:stepType>com.ibm.rqm.execution.common.elementtype.execution</ns16:stepType>
<ns16:comment/>
<ns16:compare/>
</ns16:stepResult>

it would be helpful is you provide
1) RQM version
2) what tool/client you used to GET/PUT
3) what headers you used
4) sample xml and what you have changed

Hi Pavan, this is not an answer but it appears I cannot make a comment. In addition to Don's comment, please note that some of the fields are readonly as per the schema, so it depends what fields you were actually updating?

  hi thanks Daniel

i am updating test case execution result 
Note:- i see in tool the date and time of step result updation is being changed but not the text (actual result) 


Daniel Crone commented Jan 07 '21, 6:11 a.m.

Not sure what field that is "actual result" is that a custom attribute or do you mean "title"?

Hi , please have a look at the image attached which describes the webpage

Sorry unable to attach image !!


pavan kumar commented Jan 07 '21, 9:22 a.m.

actual results is title
in which we have to fill the results.


Daniel Crone commented Jan 07 '21, 9:45 a.m.
Interestingly Pavan, just done a GET and a PUT (using Postman) modifying the "title" field : <ns4:title>Original title (modification)</ns4:title> and it all works
The only thing I can think of is that there might be a constraint on the title to be unique, but I would not expect a 200 Ok if there was a conflict. 
I get the following in response to the PUT:
What do you get?

pavan kumar commented Jan 07 '21, 12:11 p.m.

Hi , I am getting the same response as u r getting
Note: -<ns2:stepResultsUpdateStatus>NOMODIFICATION
I see this in GET response, is that a problem ? or just showing that not modified ?


Daniel Crone commented Jan 07 '21, 12:46 p.m.

Hi Pavan, I also get that same value in stepResultUpdateStatus so I don't think that is your problem. Sadly I am at a bit of a loss now.

Hi Pavan,


I can now see what you are trying to do and it appears as per https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Resources_and_their_Supported_Op  this is not possible, it shows that you can only do a GET operation on an executionelementresult which is what you are trying to do a Nested PUT on. So the parent PUT works as you have not changed anything (presumably) and the Nested PUT is not attempted as it is not allowed.

Danny

HI, i am doing GET and PUT on <executionresult>, not the <executionelementresult >.
And PUT is accepted in this 

 


Daniel Crone commented Jan 08 '21, 7:09 a.m.

Hi Pavan, I agree with you but it is that the executionelementresult is a nested element, not the primary, so it is the executionelementresult that you are trying to do a Nested PUT on. Please see this section : RqmApi < Main < TWiki (jazz.net), you will note that the following is allowed:

executionresult -> executionworkitem
but not 
executionresult -> executionelementresult
So you are trying to do a nested PUT, even though it does not "feel" like it, so you are not going to be update that item. Unfortunately unless anyone from the Jazz team knows otherwise.
