Hierarchical Release Note Generation
What is the best approach for generating a hierarchical release note from RTC ? In ClearCase I would generate a list of activities from a diffbl command and then drill into each activity and pull out description fields etc. from ClearQuest. I would then extract information about each file associated with the activities.
So in terms of RTC I want to know how to get the differences between 2 baselines in a format that I can actually use to programmatically generate the information I need such as work item summary, description, priority, who worked on it, the content of the change set etc. Is the REST API the way to go and if so does anyone have an example of getting baseline information via that route, or does it need JAVA API Code to extract what I need. Any thoughts ? |

Not totally clear how your report should look like, but can't you just get there with a custom WorkItem Query?
Only include WorkItems that are contained in the latest build snapshot (or >= timestamp 1 && <= timestamp 2). I'm not sure about RTC baselines, but at least with snapshots (called "composite baselines" in CC :wink: ) this should work out ... although I have to admit I haven't tested it yet. - Florian |
