Problem with Work Item API: adding links


Michael Waßmann (33172) | asked Jan 22 '10, 7:51 a.m.
Hi.

I want to create 2 links for a work item to 2 ExecutionResults.

I POST the following XML (<> replaced by [] as the forum does not display the source correctly) to URL https://VM-RQM2:9443/jazz/oslc/workitems/61/rtc_cm:com.ibm.rqm.execution.linktype.eresultrelatedtodefect.com.ibm.rqm.executionresult.xml :







But the result is always that one link is created, the other one is not. Additionally, all existing links are deleted.
The PUT command does not help either, it also just creates one of the two links.

When POSTing the same XML to another collection, e.g. https://VM-RQM2:9443/jazz/oslc/workitems/_vPyggAc4Ed-BBaOubtRe6g/rtc_cm:com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.relatedartifact.relatedArtifact.xml for links to related artifacts, both links are created.

Why does the API just create one link to an ExecutionResult?
What can i do to create both links (which must be possible somehow, as it is possible to do so using the Webbrowser GUI)


Thanks in advance

/edit:

figured out on my own now. For those who have the same problem:

You cannot add multiple links to that collection.
Instead, you have to add a <defect> tag to the XML of the Execution result, then it works.
