Update RTC Work Item programmatically using client side APIs

Question

Hi ,

i need to Update RTC Work Item programmatically using client side APIs. I tried using set methods of Working Copy and then saving it but it results in creation of a new Work Item instead of updating the existing one.

Please let me know what edit can be used for Update. Thanks!

teamRepositoryTemp = TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService()

.getTeamRepository(mapMbseWorkItemAttributesChild.get("repositoryURI"));

teamRepositoryTemp.registerLoginHandler(new LoginHandler(mapMbseWorkItemAttributesChild.get("userId"),

mapMbseWorkItemAttributesChild.get("password")));

teamRepositoryTemp.login(null);

IProcessClientService processClient = (IProcessClientService) teamRepository

.getClientLibrary(IProcessClientService.class);

IAuditableClient auditableClient = (IAuditableClient) teamRepository

.getClientLibrary(IAuditableClient.class);

IWorkItemClient workItemClient = (IWorkItemClient) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

IWorkItemClient workItemClientTemp = (IWorkItemClient) teamRepositoryTemp

.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

URI uri = URI.create(mapMbseWorkItemAttributesChild.get("projectAreaName").replaceAll(" ", "%20"));

IProjectArea projectArea = (IProjectArea) processClient.findProcessArea(uri, null, null);

if (mapMbseWorkItemAttributesChild.get("projectAreaName") == null) {

// System.out.println("Project area not found.");

return 0;

}

Query to find the Work item

IQueryClient queryClient = (IQueryClient) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IQueryClient.class);

IProjectAreaHandle iProjectAreaHandle = (IProjectAreaHandle) projectArea.getItemHandle();

IQueryableAttribute attribute = QueryableAttributes.getFactory(IWorkItem.ITEM_TYPE)

.findAttribute(iProjectAreaHandle, IWorkItem.PROJECT_AREA_PROPERTY, auditableClient, null);

Expression expression = new AttributeExpression(attribute, AttributeOperation.EQUALS, iProjectAreaHandle);

IQueryResult<IResolvedResult<IWorkItem>> results = queryClient.getResolvedExpressionResults(projectArea,

expression, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE);

IAuditableCommon auditableCommon = (IAuditableCommon) teamRepository

.getClientLibrary(IAuditableCommon.class);

while (results.hasNext(null))

{

String displayValue = null;

IResolvedResult<IWorkItem> result = (IResolvedResult<IWorkItem>) results.next(null);

workItem = auditableCommon.resolveAuditable((IAuditableHandle) result.getItem(),

IWorkItem.ID_PROFILE, null);

String workItems = workItem.getWorkItemType();

ICategoryHandle workItemCategory = workItem.getCategory();

ICategory categoryName = (ICategory) teamRepository.itemManager().fetchCompleteItem(workItemCategory,

IItemManager.DEFAULT, new NullProgressMonitor());

Set the value here

wc.getWorkItem().setValue(summaryVFNameAttribute, mapMbseWorkItemAttributesParent.get("VF Number"));

Save the changes

IDetailedStatus status = wc.save(new NullProgressMonitor());

if (status.getCode() != org.eclipse.core.runtime.IStatus.OK) {

System.out.println("Error: " + status.getDetails());

}

Do not use a workingcopy manager. Use a workitem operation see https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2013/03/20/understanding-and-using-the-rtc-java-client-api/ section Alternative to Create and Modify Work Items also see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation

Hi Ralph,

thanks for the response. Instead of using Handle is used WorkItem client,

// IWorkItemClient service = (IWorkItemClient) teamRepository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

// IWorkItemHandle handle = service.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().connectNew(workItemType,

// new NullProgressMonitor());

IWorkItemWorkingCopyManager copyManager = workItemClient.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager();

copyManager.connect(workItem, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, null);

WorkItemWorkingCopy wc = copyManager.getWorkingCopy(workItem);

// workItem = wc.getWorkItem();

Thanks!

As already mentioned, I would suggest to NOT use the WorkingCopyManager. Use an WorkitemOperation instead. The code looks like:

    private static class WorkItemSummaryModification extends WorkItemOperation {
    private String fSummary;

    public WorkItemSummaryModification(String newSummary) {
        super("Modifying Work Item", IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE);
        fSummary = newSummary;
    }

    @Override
    protected void execute(WorkItemWorkingCopy workingCopy,
            IProgressMonitor monitor) throws TeamRepositoryException {
        IWorkItem workItem = workingCopy.getWorkItem();
        workItem.setHTMLSummary(XMLString.createFromPlainText(fSummary));
    }

}

The code is called this way:

WorkItemSummaryModification operation= new WorkItemSummaryModification(workItem);
               operation.run("New Summary", monitor);
