Re: Changing States of workitems programatically

the IWorkflowInfo object has methods to get all the IDs and their text names.

the IWorkflowInfo can be located off the operation data

		Object data= operation.getOperationData();

			ISaveParameter p = (ISaveParameter)data;

				IAuditableCommon iac = p.getSaveOperationParameter().getAuditableCommon();

				WorkflowManager wfm = new WorkflowManager(iac);	

				// get the workflow this workitem is in, so we can get the labels of the states

				IWorkItem workItem = (IWorkItem) auditable;

				IWorkflowInfo x =wfm.getWorkflowInfo(workItem, monitor);

Hi All,
I am implementing a custom participant plugin. Based on certain conditions, i need to change the state of the workitem. I am using the setstate2() function, but not sure how to get the value of the Identifier <IState> for all the available states in the workflow.

Thanks.

setState2 will not work. You have to use IWorkItemServer.saveWorkItem2 method.

Best regards,
Michele.

Hello.
My code looks like this:
IWorkItem sourceworkItem = (IWorkItem) auditable;


IProjectAreaHandle projectArea = sourceworkItem.getProjectArea();
IItemHandle item = sourceworkItem.getItemHandle();

IAuditableCommon iac = ((ISaveParameter) data).getSaveOperationParameter().getAuditableCommon();

Integer Id = sourceworkItem.getId();
String parentWItype = sourceworkItem.getWorkItemType();

IWorkItemServer workItemServer = this.getService(IWorkItemServer.class);
IStatus a1 = workItemServer.saveWorkItem(sourceworkItem, "Close");

I am getting a stale state error. I tried using the workingcopy, but unable to find the save method.

you don't SAVE WITH the workingCopy class.. you GET a workingCopy (read/write) of the workitem (read only)..

then you save THAT with the saveWorkItem2() method

Hi Sam,
I get the below errors after including "com.ibm.team.workitem.client" dependency in manifest file:

* The component is available in the target platform path though (SDK).

Thanks.

see my response in your other post.

net you can't use '.client' classes on the 'server'. '.client' is for Eclipse or standalone application side.

Thanks Sam. This is the brief of my code:

IWorkItemServer service = getService(IWorkItemServer.class);
IWorkItem a = service.findWorkItemById(145, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);
for (IAttributeHandle ia:a.getCustomAttributes())
{

IAttribute attribute= iac.resolveAuditable(ia,IAttribute.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);
a.setValue(attribute, finalexp);
IStatus st1 = service.saveWorkItem2(a, null, null);

I am getting assertion failed error at the setvalue method of the attribute. I read that we need to get a working copy of the item. My plugin is a server-side plugin and i couldnt find any options to setvalue or save work item using a working copy. How can this be done?

Thanks.

you cannot save the read only copy of the workitem..
you must get & modify and save the workingcopy

// reference the right object type (cast)
IWorkItem workItem = (IWorkItem) auditable;
IWorkItem rr = (IWorkItem)workItem.getWorkingCopy();

Thanks Sam. I figured it out and it works now.

Wonderful!
