How to Access Artifacts under Project Properties

 Hello,

I am having trouble accessing Artifacts that you can view when selecting a Stream and component and clicking on the option to "Manage Project Properties",
When I use this API RMExtensions405API < Main < TWiki (jazz.net), it points to the Artifacts stored in the Modules, however those are the incorrect ones, 
Would appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction how to access the Artifacts under Project Properties

Your API link is for version 4.0.5 - the latest extension API is listed below here RMExtensionsMain < Main < TWiki (jazz.net)


I guess it's possible your API calls aren't using the current configuration in which case you'd get results from the default configuration (the Initial Stream of the component)

However without anything more specific than 'it doesn't work' it's impossible to be more helpful. I suggest you get one or more of the examples working from the extensions matching your version. Then modify that working example in small stages and check it works at each stage.

 Hello,

We use the latest version of the API, 7.0.2, sorry if the link gave a false impression, however the version of the API isn't the issue,
I am positive that these API calls extract the Artifacts stored under Modules as when we call RM.AttributeValues, it returns the Module Artifacts, (even when we use the latest version)
What we are looking for it how to get Artifacts you can view when selecting a Stream and component and clicking on the option to "Manage Project Properties",

 Would appreciate if you can answer the question of how to access the Artifacts under Project Properties

Do you mean you hope the extension API might allow you to edit the project properties? It doesn't. But otherwise give a specific example of what you see and what you expected to see.

We mean is there a resource or a way to access Artifact Types, Artifacts Attributes (the different templates and information in them such as description, URI, etc) under Project Properties (using any API or resource)?
Is there a way?

You may be able to read some of this information (e.g. the shape definitions) through the OSLC APIs - not the extensions API - but I don't think you can modify anything except through the UI.

ISTR this question has been asked before. AFAIK, there are no OSLC query capabilities for artifact types, artifact attributes, link types, or data types, and no public REST APIs for creating, modifying, or deleting them.

Understood that there's no OSLC query way of accessing them, but is there a public or private API just to access them?

I don't think there are any public APIs. We do not describe or document private APIs. They are unsupported and any use of them is potentially fragile. We actively discourage people from reverse engineering and using such private APIs.

Public APIs are documented on https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/CLMProductAPILanding and its child pages.
