ELM702: How to fetch ERM Reused Artifact count
Hi Team,
We are using ELM702 version and required to gather the Total Number of Reused Artifacts and Total Number of Times Artifacts Reused.
The artifacts created using below process,
To reuse artifacts in a module, we can add existing artifacts to a module or create new artifacts in the module. We can also reuse an artifact by copying it from one module and pasting to another module. You can also select and insert an existing artifact from another module into a module. The base artifact is reused and added to the module.
Please refer below link for more details:
I have followed the steps mentioned in the following page https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DNGModuleApiScenario2
https://<publicuri>/rm/resources/<Moduleid>/structure
Headers:
Acceptapplication/json
DoorsRP-Request-Typepublic 2.0
Got the below response:

When i further requested for the artifact detail, didn't find difference between the response of reused artifact and original/base artifact. Please suggest how can i find reused artifact from the response? It will helps to gather the total reused artifact count.
API call to get artifact detail:

Thanks.
One answer
With OSLC Query you can query for artifacts and in the results differentiate between core artifacts (which have a rm_nav:parent property) and module bindings (i.e. reuses) (which don't have rm_nav:parent), also retreiving the identifier. Then postprocessing the results you can count the reuses of the core artifacts by matching the identifier of a binding to the identifier of a core artifact.
See https://jazz.net/library/article/1197 for an overview

Hi Ian,
Thanks for your inputs. I have tried the GET method call for the below URL
I am getting nav parent tag in the reponse which is pointing to folder url.
I'm not able to find the reused artifacts from this. Can you please suggest how can i get the resused artifacts. Also, I have referred the mentioned link https://jazz.net/library/article/1197.
Thanks,

a) That's not an OSLC Query which is what I suggested, which could simply give you all core and binding artifacts you can count and differentiate them as per my answer.
And b) if you want to get the module contents use the Module API https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/DNGModuleApiOverview - but note that's on a module-by-module basis so you'll still need to use OSLC Query to find all the modules. See [OSLC] How to query the hierarchy of requirements within a module - Jazz Forum for more detail of using the module API - note in particular in my answer the headers to provide/not provide to access the module API, because it is quite fussy.
FYI There's a walkthrough of discovering the OSLC Query Capability urls here https://jazz.net/forum/questions/266334/dng-oslcfetch-components-from-project-area - note you mustn't hardcode these because that's fragile across ELM versions.
