Serverside create link from a WorkItem to a Changeset

erling jorgensen (40●9●11) | asked Jul 20 '12, 6:54 a.m.

My task is to create a link between a Workitem and a changeset in a Participant on delivery. I have access to both the workitem and the changeset, and I am able of establishling a link, but the link is not registered as link to a Changeset.

My code looks like this:

IWorkItemServer workItemservice = this.getService(IWorkItemServer.class);

IWorkItem workItemWC = (IWorkItem) workItem.getWorkingCopy();

IWorkItemReferences references = workItemservice.resolveWorkItemReferences(workItemWC, monitor);

IReference reference= IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem(changeSet.getWorkingCopy().getItemHandle());

references. add(WorkItemEndPoints.RELATED_ARTIFACT, reference);

workItemservice.saveWorkItem2(workItemWC, references, null);

I do get a reference created, but as is actually says on the WorkItemEndPoints.RELATED_ARTIFACT, only as a related artifact. How do I make i proper reference to a Changeset?

Thx in advance

I think I've solved it myself. This code does the trick:

ILinkService linkService = getService(ILinkService.class);

ILinkServiceLibrary ls = (ILinkServiceLibrary) linkService.getServiceLibrary(ILinkServiceLibrary.class);

...

IReference changeReference= IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem(changeSet.getItemHandle());

IReference workItemReference= IReferenceFactory.INSTANCE.createReferenceToItem(workItemWC.getItemHandle());

ILink il = ls.createLink(WorkItemLinkTypes.CHANGE_SET, changeReference, workItemReference);

ls.saveLink(il);

Maybe somebody else but me can use it.

Hi Erling, I used your input and the input from https://jazz.net/forum/questions/82384/serverside-create-link-from-a-workitem-to-a-changeset to create some working code and summarized in http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/09/20/the-rtc-workitem-server-link-api-linking-to-work-items-and-other-elements/ . Thank you so much for the example.

What did you include in your plug-in.xml file? I keep getting this error when I try to run my participant.
CRJAZ1115I The "com.ibm.team.links.common.factory.IReferenceFactory" service was not registered. I have the following pre-requisites:
<requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.links.common.service.ILinkService" />
<requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.links.service.ILinkServiceLibrary" />
<requiredService interface="com.ibm.team.links.common.factory.IReferenceFactory" />

It's all about the answers!
