RTC 3.0.1 - Finding speific work item
Given a work item ID - is there a way of doing a "global" RTC repository search to find the work item just using the "ID" field? Not knowing which project area the WI belongs to.

A work item ID is global to a repository, so you do not need to know which project area the WI belongs to. For example, you are allowed to "move" a work item from one project area to another, and the work item URL remains valid.

Fair enough but given only the work item number how can you get additional information about it. WI queries seem to be only project area specific. |

An example of a project-area-independent work item ID is:
https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/1000 Note that the RTC server will automatically redirect this to the project-area specific URL, but don't let that fool you into thinking you cannot have project-area independent URLs (:-).

Comments The Quick Search (top right) on the project dashboard can be used as a global search for either the WI ID or any text search on the displayed subject line. However it cannot be used on any field in the body of the WI.as a global query: only works as a project-specific query Would there be a list of the field names to query by URL; e.g. assuming itemName is to query the ID field, what would it be for Created By, and what should be in the search string, userID or name or ..... |

In the Eclipse client, you can type the ID into the quick search bar in the bottom left and hit <enter> to open it. (If you don't see the quick search bar, check Window -> Preferences -> Work Items).
If you want to be super-fancy and not even move your hands from the keyboard, ctrl+alt+w will bring up a little window where you can type the WI number. |
