Update WorkItem status with OSLC API
Dear
I'm trying to change workitem status from 'new' to another status like 'Start Working' or 'Complete'. I read an article which says send a PUT request adding '_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.Complete' in the end like below. 'https://localhost:9443/jazz/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/_0xazQG2dEd-Tlez1oMG4hw?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.Complete But it doesn't work. I check that type is a Task which is using default task workflow , id 'com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow'. Any hint for this? Thanks for any help. |

I finally did it.
The solution was 1. URL : http://localhost:80/jazz/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/_oxzwQG2dEd-TIez1oMG4hw?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking 2. HTTP Request body has this value. <rtc_cm:state rdf:resource=\"https://localhost:9443/jazz/oslc/workflows/_nhCr8G2dEd-TIez1oMG4hw/states/com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow/2\"/> Thanks for helping me.

PUT : https://rtcserver:13043/ccm/oslc/workitems/190?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking
Content-Type : application/json
Body: {"rtc_cm:state":{"rdf:resource":"https:\/\/rtcserver:13043\/ccm\/oslc\/workflows\/_jtyOwNZ-EeS0-OksqjQuNA\/states\/com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow\/com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.state.s1"}}
This works for me

Folks
There is an OSLC workshop here https://jazz.net/library/article/635 and in Example04 of the OSLC-CM samples we show how to make an update to a workitem. Take a look to see what you are missing. |

I refrained from documenting it before it is spec'd, but given how often it is used already, I might as well create a page for these out-of-spec parts. -- Regards, Patrick RTC Work Item Component Lead |
Thank you so much for posting this. I just spent an hour first trying to do a 'partial update' to the work item, then a full update, then changing headers... ugh.
This is so easy -- it'd be nice if this sort of thing was documented somewhere, like here: http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/CmRestApiV1 |
I checked that work item in right status so it should be transitioned It works for me, I tried the following using the Firefox Poster plug-in: https://clmwb:9443/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/312?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking And PUT the XML work item resource representation to the above URL. You can take an empty resource representation if you only want to make the state transition. If you use an action that is associated with resolutions, you also need to set a resolution. E.g.: <xml> <oslc_cm> <rtc_cm> </oslc_cm> -- Regards, Patrick RTC Work Item Component Lead |
I guess team need the following information. - Exact procedure (step by step) how to change state of workitem. Suppose we have workitem "Defect 10" just created. The state is "New". Team needs to know how to make action "Start Working" via URL, or another way such as Java API call.

I checked that work item in right status so it should be transitioned with OSLC API request.
I check that workitem is a task and workflow definition like below. <workflowDefinition id="com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow"> <action icon="processattachment:/workflow/inprogress.gif" id="com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking" name="Start Working" state="s2"/> </workflowDefinition> So I sent a request like below but it still doesn't work. https://localhost:9443/jazz/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/_0xazQG2dEd-Tlez1oMG4hw?_action=com.ibm.team.workitem.taskWorkflow.action.startWorking I don't understand why. Any idea? Thanks in advance |
I'm trying to change workitem status from 'new' to another status like The approach sounds correct, but you must also make sure that the work item is in a state that actually allows the action. -- Regards, Patrick RTC Work Item Component Lead |
