Hi Chris,

I am not aware of such a task. You can create work items using OSLC or using Java and the Plain Java Client Library. How to create work items is outlined here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation

Hi Chris,

Since not all builds are meant to be deployed, except if you have an automated test bench, I would suggest to open the build result of the public build, review it and then use the link "Create a work item for this build" to create the work item if it is supposed to be deployed. The work item will be automatically linked to the build result providing all necessary information for the release engineer. Why creating work items for builds that does not need deployment?

Hi,

as already mentioned, as far as I know that ant task does not exist as far as http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v3r0m1/topic/com.ibm.team.build.doc/topics/r_ant-tasks.html goes. The WorkItemPublisher publishes the work items related to the changes to the build result.

You can easily use the Plain Java Client Library also called Plain Java API in some places to create a work item as mentioned already in the first answer. See here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ProgrammaticWorkItemCreation

The Plain Java Client Library can be downloaded from the all download pages e.g. https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/3.0.1.1/RTC-Client-plainJavaLib-3.0.1.1.zip

New is the API documentation: https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/3.0.1.1/RTC-Client-plainJavaLib-API-javadoc-3.0.1.1.zip

This is the code you want to use. It is only very basic but can be extended easily to add more attributes. The Extending Team concert forum is where this is discussed. There is also example code for how to set other work item attributes. You could also create a work item here https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWelcome in case you think this is essential. I agree it would be a nice ides so I looked for a work item, but did find only this https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=34443 . I added your case.
