How to identify the Associated work item type of a Change set using Event handler?

OK, here goes, I have taken an hour to get the answer for you guys. I shall make it a blog entry soon, but for now....

Please carefully look at

com.ibm.team.filesystem.service.internal.ServerRequireWorkItemAdvisor
com.ibm.team.filesystem.service.internal.ServerRequireWorkItemAdvisor.ServerRequireWorkItemAdvisor

You will notice the constructor that passes the providerfactory in the first advisor that instanciates the second one.

Please also note that the first extends AbstractScmService. Based on that and closely looking at what it does....

You need to extend AbstractScmService, then the code below gets you the work items.

        IRepositoryItemService itemService = getService(IRepositoryItemService.class);   
        ProviderFactory providerFactory = new ServerProviderFactory(this, itemService);
       
        for (IChangeSetHandle iChangeSetHandle : changeSetHandles) {
           
            List<ILink> links= ChangeSetLinks.findLinks(providerFactory, iChangeSetHandle, new String[] { ILinkConstants.CHANGESET_WORKITEM_LINKTYPE_ID }, monitor);
            for (ILink link : links) {
                Object resolved = link.getTargetRef().resolve();
                if (resolved instanceof IWorkItemHandle) {
                    IWorkItemHandle wiHandle = (IWorkItemHandle) resolved;
                    IWorkItem workItem = (IWorkItem) workItemServer.getAuditableCommon().resolveAuditable(wiHandle, IWorkItem.FULL_PROFILE, monitor);
                    IWorkItem workingCopy= (IWorkItem) workItem.getWorkingCopy();
                    System.out.println(" Linked to: " + workItem.getId());
                }
            }

Please note you are calling internal API here!

I needed these prerequisites.

This code is for an Advisor.

Hi,

I have developed a advisor for Source control Deliver (Server) operation.
I got the change set content. But I don't know the API to read associated work item details

Any clues now?

I have posted a bunch of work item related api examples hrere: https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/

I would assume you have to follow a link. https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/07/31/rtc-update-parent-duration-estimation-and-effort-participant/ talks about links.

You are looking for a reference or related item at the change set with endpoint         IEndPointDescriptor changeSet= ILinkTypeRegistry.INSTANCE.getLinkType(WorkItemLinkTypes.CHANGE_SET).getTargetEndPointDescriptor();

instead of the parent. That's what I have to get you started at the moment. Maybe someone has more details.

Here is a post from recently that talks about creating that link. I assume you should be able to figure out how to detect there is one of this type from the change set.
