Hi Eric,

I can think of the following approaches:

1. You can use OSLC http://www.open-services.net and PERL or CURL for scripting. Please search in the forum http://jazz.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=2 and the Team Wiki for example code.
2. You can use the Plain Java API https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/2.0.0.2iFix3/JazzPlainJavaClient-2.0.0.2iFix3.zip and write some importer java classes. One of the snippets shipped with the zip shows an example.
3. You can write an importer using the Synchronizer API http://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RtcSdk20

1 Is the preferred way, looking into the future, I think.

The Eclipse client built-in CSV import works great for this.

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v2r0m0/topic/com.ibm.team.workitem.doc/topics/t_importing_work_items_csv_file.html

Export some work items with the columns you want, examine the format,
create your new data, and import. Don't forget to create a column for
Created By so it doesn't use the ID of the person running the import,
and be careful to fully specify the /timeline/iteration in the Planned
For column.

Have'nt found a matching example. Might you pls. give a more specific hint? Preferred a Perl example.

HaJo,

There is information on the WiKi how to use Eclipse extensions or Plain Java API code to create a work item with attributes. I have no example for OSLC.

Eclipse extension is nothing for a batch.

To safe the time for others who are searching: Here is a link to Programmatic Creation of Work Items which is for SDK 1.0.
Unfortunately, that does not solve my problem, too. Only for RTC 1.0 & 2.0 and only for creation and not updating...

Beside that, Ive figured out, that at least for the csv-Importer there is no batch support.

HaJo,

there is a different forum for this kind of extensibility questions.

You can update work items using CSV import, provided you provide the work item id.

Code that worked for me to programmatically update in the past : 

IProgressMonitor monitor = new NullProgressMonitor();

IWorkItemClient  workItemService = (IWorkItemClient) targetRepository.getClientLibrary(IWorkItemClient.class);

IWorkItemHandle handle = workItemService.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().connectNew(mappedInternalWorkItemType, monitor);

WorkItemWorkingCopy wc = workItemService.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().getWorkingCopy(handle);

IWorkItem workItem = wc.getWorkItem();

  try {

     workItem.setValue(newAttribute, sFId);

  } catch (RuntimeException e) {

  }

  IDetailedStatus s = wc.save(monitor);

  if (!s.isOK()) {

  throw new TeamRepositoryException("Error saving work item",s.getException());

  }

} finally {

workItemService.getWorkItemWorkingCopyManager().disconnect(workItem);

}


and it is usable with a plain java api class as well as in Eclipse.
