Hi,

How can I create a RRC collection type artifact from an external program. Is there any API for this?

We want to create Collections in RRC related to each demand comming from demand management product. Collection name must be the same with the Demand ID. When it is created BusinessAnalysts add changing requirements to the collection. Creating a collection manually is risky because if BA writes the name of the collection wrong, it is very hard to find the right collection for dev and test team.

OSLC allows the creation of Collections in RRC.

The OSLC SPEC http://open-services.net/bin/view/Main/RmSpecificationV2

The OSLC Workshop contains sample code of creating artifacts in RRC :  https://jazz.net/library/article/635

To create a collection just look for the Collection creation factory in the service document and POST it with the basic information needed.

Hello,

You need to add following entry to the RDF body to indicate it is a collection ( if that entry is not found a Requirement is created ):

<rdf:type rdf:resource="http://open-services.net/ns/rm#RequirementCollection"/>

According to this response I've defined an POST request

    </oslc_rm:Requirement>
</rdf:RDF>


And  the result --> It created an Artifact with type "Release Package" but artifact format is TEXT so it is not a real collection..
What can be the problem?? Why the artifact format is TEXT which I defined "release package" type as "COLLECTION"
