interfacing with LPA programmatically


Alexander Bristol (111) | asked Jun 29 '11, 12:23 p.m.
Is there a way to administrate lifecycle projects in LPA from client code? Specifically:

    creating users with access to constituent applications
    creating/archiving/unarchiving lifecycle projects and their constituent projects in ccm/rm/qm applications
    adding/removing users to lifecycle and constituent projects


Is there a way to do this using the RTC SDK or the JFS SDK/REST services? The JFS REST user service documented here (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/JFSUsersAPI) is described as read-only, so I imagine creating users is not possible using this service.

In the RTC SDK, using the access method in the 'Snippets' examples (com.ibm.team.repository.client.TeamPlatform.getTeamRepositoryService() and then com.ibm.team.repository.client.ITeamRepositoryService.getTeamRepository(String, int, IProgressMonitor) ) fails with a version incompatibility message (even though the SDK, RTC client, and server are all 3.0.1).

Are there other RTC SDK classes/access points usable for LPA (such as com.ibm.team.filesystem.client.internal.rest.LifecycleRestClient or maybe the com.ibm.team.process.common package, I see some classes prefixed with LPA in there)? Also, is there a published javadoc for the 3.0.1 SDK?

Thank you.
