Getting Time Spent by plain java API

Melanie Finke (77●2●15●20) | asked Mar 15 '12, 11:26 a.m.

Hello,

I try to get the time spent attribute by plain java API.

In IWorkItem is a getter for duration available, but this is the estimated time.

The id of time spent is according to the administration web interface timeSpent and of estimated time duration.

Is there a way to get the value of time spent through the plain java API?

Best regards

Hello,

in a earlier post I found a solution to my problem. https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2379&highlight=spent

I tried the suggested way. If the attribute is not set I get -1 else 0 is returned. How can I get the concret value of time spent?

My code is:




IWorkItemCommon workItemCommon = &#40;IWorkItemCommon&#41; repository

				.getClientLibrary&#40;IWorkItemCommon.class&#41;;



IAttribute timeSpentattribute = workItemCommon.findAttribute&#40;

					projectArea, WorkItem.TIME_SPENT_PROPERTY, monitor&#41;;



Object o = rtcWorkItem.getValue&#40;timeSpentattribute&#41;;

Best regards

Hello,

I figured out, that it is not the code, that is wrong.

In the field time spent I do not type in the time I have already spent on that item. It is the time remaining. The program calculates estamated time - the in time spent typed in time and this is time spent in the attribute.

In my case estemated and time spent were always the same and I got 0.

Is the assumption of this behavior right and is it possible to type in time spent?

Best regards
