Using the Requirement Creation Factory on OSLC RM API

I am trying to create requirement using the OSLC API and trying to use Requirement Creation Factory.

I am basically a .NET guy and trying to understand how to do it using the REST client in Firefox.

Can somebody describe me the steps?

I have the following specific queries:

1. How do I define the requirement? Is there some specified structure?
2. Do I need to post to the Requirement Creation Factory URL the requirement as content?

I need specific answers. Please help me.

EDIT:

So far so good. I am able to create the requirements pretty well.

But I am wondering on the Links. I could create a link (Implemented By) using the REST Client using the following data in the POST:

    </rdf:RDF>
    </pre>
    </code>

However, when I send a traceTo in place of implementedBy, the link is not created (the requirement gets created anyway).

I also added a new link type (traceability) with relations Trace To and Trace From. But could not create such a link when I specify traceTo in the RDF that I send.

Can somebody help me doing this?


<b>Another update and good news</b>

Just used the Reporting API https://server:port/rm/publish/resources/* and could see all the links that I created, though they are not visible when I try to see them in the links window in the dashboard. A bug or a feature??

Sorry, I could not add the XML/rdf data in the post as I could not understand how to put XML/HTML in the post in this new system. I have posted a question on that here: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/77945/how-to-post-a-question-to-this-updated-forum

1. How do I define the requirement? Is there some specified structure?
Yes, see below
2. Do I need to post to the Requirement Creation Factory URL the requirement as content?
Yes,

Use the Rest Client to do following ( you need to change the URL's based on your RM configuration ) :

Action : POST
URL : https://gradev.ibm.com:9444/rdm/requirementFactory?projectURL=https://gradev.ibm.com:9443/jts/process/project-areas/_fZXjIqRmEeGHx_XeiXK5Dw

Headers:
Accept=application/rdf+xml
OSLC-Core-Version=2.0

Body: Content Type must be set to application/rdf+xml
&lt;rdf:RDF
xmlns:calm=&quot;http://jazz.net/xmlns/prod/jazz/calm/1.0/&quot;

xmlns:rm=&quot;http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/rdm/rdf/&quot;
xmlns:rm_property=&quot;https://localhost:9444/rdm/types/&quot;&gt;
&lt;oslc_rm:Requirement rdf:about=&quot;&quot;&gt;
&lt;rdf:type rdf:resource=&quot;http://open-services.net/ns/rm#Requirement&quot;/&gt;
&lt;oslc:instanceShape rdf:resource=&quot;https://gradev.ibm.com:9444/rdm/types/_gNKXkaRmEeGHx_XeiXK5Dw&quot;/&gt;
&lt;dc:description rdf:parseType=&quot;Literal&quot;&gt;Requirement Description&lt;/dc:description&gt;
&lt;dc:title rdf:parseType=&quot;Literal&quot;&gt;OSLC_V2_TEST&lt;/dc:title&gt;
&lt;/oslc_rm:Requirement&gt;
&lt;/rdf:RDF&gt;


The Body of this example is simple, if need to add more fields pls check the OSLC specification at: http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/RmSpecificationV2

Try this: https://jazz.net/library/article/635 -&gt; OSLC Workshop Download (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/OSLCWorkshopDownload)

Look at example 6.4. It's in java, but you should be able to glean the REST syntax needed to create a requirement.
