How to restrict delivers to work items that are in progress

Hi Martin,

this can be done, but it requires a custom extension - an advisor or precondition to be developed, since as far as I know there is none in the product out of the box.

This advisor or precondition would test if the change set is associated with a work item and check if the state of this work item is in the in progress state group and prevent it if that is not the case.

You can find an example that you can start with here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RTCSDK20_ProcessPreConditionExample

The source code is attached and can be downloaded here: https://jazz.net/wiki/pub/Main/RTCSDK20_ProcessPreConditionExample/advisor-example.zip

To understand how to set up your environment please follow https://jazz.net/library/article/634

We have discussed some differences in setting it up for 3.0.1 here: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=65948

In 4.x you can use the server precondition "Require Work Items to Match Query". If the query only returns work items in desired states I think you should be able to achieve what you want.
