Because I do not know how to upload scripts to jazz.net for sharing with others, I have attached my perl script test example and my Javascript test example to the Enhancement request in Jazz.Net.

https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Jazz%20Foundation#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=235343

Both shows you how to connect to Jazz, list actual server messages, create new messages or delete an existing message.

The perl script is embedded in a cmd file. You need to adapt the path to the perl interpreter at the beginning of the file. Maybe you need also som additional moduls for perl.

The Javascript is embedded in a small HTML Userinterface. It's more or less a translation of the perl script. Some stuff is just hardcoded, but for understanding the user interface it is sufficient

I wrote a perl script which creates server messages according the javadoc. Unfortunatly the message is not displayed on the WEB-UI nor it is recognized as an active message.

I'm running V.4.0.1 of jts and rtc.

Here what I do:

Step 1) Post a new message:

startDate: 1356630501 = Thu, 27 Dec 2012 17:48:21 GMT
endDate: 1356716501 = Fri, 28 Dec 2012 17:41:41 GMT
 
uri:   https://clmtestserver01.mycompany.com/jts/serverMessages

send jsonmsg: 
{
 "description" : "hello world",
 "startDate" : 1356630501,
 "endDate" : 1356716501
}

response:
{
   "itemId" : "_my_ITlBNEeKfgoTUZ8N5Mw",
   "endDate" : 1356716501,
   "contributorId" : "_T-XVkMeSEeCqLtH8ULpBqw",
   "description" : "hello world",
   "startDate" : 1356630501
}

Step 2) get Messages

uri: https://clmtestserver01.mycompany.com/jts/serverMessages

response:
{
   "identifier" : "itemId",
   "label" : "description",
   "items" : [
      {
         "itemId" : "_my_ITlBNEeKfgoTUZ8N5Mw",
         "endDate" : 1356716501,
         "contributorId" : "_T-XVkMeSEeCqLtH8ULpBqw",
         "description" : "hello world",
         "startDate" : 1356630501
      }
   ]
}

Step 3) get active messages only

uri: https://clmtestserver01.mycompany.com/jts/serverMessages?active=true
response:
{
   "identifier" : "itemId",
   "cacheCreationTime" : 1356630567147,
   "label" : "description",
   "cacheExpireTime" : "9223372036854775807",
   "items" : []
}

Any idea what I'm missing to activate the message, so it is displayed like described in the release notes of V.4.0.1?

If it works, I will provide my perl script here for other to use.
