I'm working with several development projects that want to start using Jenkins and our MKS Source 2009 repositories. Since the use of Jenkins or CI tools in general is still very new here, there is reluctance in allowing our Jenkins server to connect straight to our production repository server until we get some more experience. I've managed to negotiate a compromise where we can connect Jenkins to a "test" MKS Source Server and allow it to pull code from there. However for that to work I need a way for the changes committed to our production repository to get pushed to the test server, ideally every few minutes. Any suggestions on a fast, stable method for sending changes from one server to the other?

My question here is, is it possible to pull information from an item (say a checked-in text file) to be used within another item that is being created based upon information entered within certain fields? This is an integrated review tool/item that will ultimately parse through a set of checklists and allow the user to select one of three that are available, for example.

Hi everyone,we're using Integrity 10.1 on OpenSuse 12 and Hudson 2.2.1 on Windows XP with the Integrity-Plugin 1.16.It occurs sporadically, that Integrity don't synchronize several members. Sometimes an older file is on hdd, though the plugin write in the log, that the new one checked out. Sometimes new member are not checked out actually.The option "clean workspace" decelerated the build-process and didn't resolve it at all time.I can't find helpful informations in the log-files. Maybe someone can help?!

HI,I am using Integrity 10.3 We are planned to provide edit access to group for editing an item (type CR) at particular state (say Assigned). So I have provided access by clicking arrow that leads to assigned state which enable group to change.What is difference between Item ediability and permission in workflow state change option of TYPE in Integrity Admin client.

Hi,Does the license gets released once the session times out in Integrity 2009?I need a way out by which i can release the license once the session times out on one machine and license should be granted to the other person logging in.Please help.

Is there any way to transfer Integrity information (creator, revision number, etc) into a Word document that is stored in the Integrity archive, in a similar way to keywords in source code? We are in the process of migrating to Integrity and this would be a very helpful function. For previous CM systems, check-in/out hook scripts were created that automatically update the properties of word documents. Is there an 'off the shelf' solution for this or have any of you done this before? If not, any tips on how to attempt it?

Hi,I need to hide the inactive pick values from the field..Can this be achieved?These values pop up while creating queries, reports etc with [Inactive] appended to the name..I need to hide such values so that the end users do no see them at all.

Could you please confirm the expected availability date of an Integrity 10 VS 2012 Integration package.

Hello,Currently our MKS installation activates only Requirements and Tasks as work items.Our MKS server manages the repositories, Build for miscellaneous big projects and a ~big number of users (arround 2000).My Question:It is possible to install the ALM of MKS without disturbing the current environment?What is the risk: to perturb the current users/projects/workflow?This Question is very important for me:What about the estimated Time to install and use the first ALM with default ALM template?Thanks in advanceMiled Attia

My question to the community, is it possible to have fields be automatically created based upon certain criteria? Right now, in my template I have to create the fields and then determine when they are visible based on a certain criteria. I would rather the field actually be created when the criteria is met instead of having to create a 100 redundant fields. For example, I have Row A with 5 fields once all 5 fields have been filled, Row B is created with the same 5 fields that would need to be filled out before Row C can be generated.

Hi @all,if i want to send a notification by a trigger i'm using the javamail.js. In the trigger-config i can write a mail-body and in this text i can use some keywords, which are pointing to item-based informations. Example: <%id%> shows the item-ID, <%fieldname%> shows the entry of the field "fieldname". If this field is a userfield i will get the username in my mail. Is there a way to get the full Name instead the username by such a keyword? Thanks and kind regards, Jens

I have not been able to find much information on merging project development paths. I have tried to do this using the GUI client, but have had no success. Are there any good sources of information available?

Hi all,I'm trying to execute a query via the webservice. I can excute the query using the client, it is visible and owned by my user and contains only one column ID. I transfer the following SOAP using HTTP-post:<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <m:getItemsByNamedQuery xmlns:m="http://webservice.mks.com/2009/Integrity"> <arg0> <Username>myuser</Username> <Password>password</Password> <InputField>ID</InputField> <QueryName>testq</QueryName> </arg0> </m:getItemsByNamedQuery> </SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>The answer of the server is a fault-message:<env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><env:Header></env:Header><env:Body><env:Fault xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><faultcode>env

I need to send a notification when an item is created against a specific project. the recipient of the email should be the Project Manager of that project and I am using a FVA field to copy the project manager into the newly created item. I then created a trigger to fire on newly created items and added the advancedemail.js assigning the FVA field to the recipient. I have tried both a Pre and Post trigger but what seems to happen is the FVA field is not populated until after the trigger has fired therefore sending no email.Surely the Post event trigger should send the email to the user in the FVA field as suggested.What am I doing wrong or does anyone have an alternative.

Hi,by mistake a subproject has been created with a lower case letter "myproject" instead of upper case letter ("Myproject") in the beginning.So I tried to rename it using the SI-Function "Subproject move" but I get an error message that the project already exists.Is there any way to do this kind of rename?Best regards,Kai

When adding a subproject that contains more folders and files within, it appears Integrity can be configured to ignore adding new files as member that have a certain file extension. For example any file with file extension with .bak will be ignored and these files will not be added. Where in Integrity is this configured and where would I view the existing settings regarding the above point ?

I would like to create a query or a report that searches for some criteria of Requirements. So, for example, I might want a list of all requirements in Draft state. In the returned query/report, I do not want to see requirements in any other state, but I do want to show information about the document where the Requirement is contained. I would like to include information about the Document Title and the Document Owner.While the Requirement type includes the Document ID, I have not found an easy way to extract this information to show the Document Owner. I tried to use a computed field on the report, but the Document Owner is a User field and is not allowed to be used in computed fields. For other relationships fields (such as Contains), this information is easy to retrieve. However, many requirements are in subsections of the document and this restricts the ability to create a good report.Does anyone have any recommendations?

I am currently defining new dashboards with charts for additional quality reporting, etc. One of the charts I want to create is (for example) showing the trend of the amount of (field) state the (type) Defects are in for a given project. The project should be selectable in the dashboard-project field and not "hardcoded" in the chart, so that it is useable for each project. The type Defect has 7 possible states. When I pick the "Trend" chart type, I do not have the option to use a query. When I select "State" as values To Chart and add the 7 states of the Defect type in the "values" field, I will see all the Defects, but I will also see all the other types that happen to share (some of) the states with Defect. (For example, Change Request shares all the same states in our solution)When I pick the "Item Fields Trend" I can select a query, but I cannot pick a meaningful field, unless I add specific fields to the project type.My solution so far:- Create a query for each state in the Defect

What is the list of API integrations that are available for MKS Source Integrity. For instance I know there is a MKS integration for working in IBM Rational Developer and there used to be a MKS integration for Visual Basic 6. Is there a MKS integration available for more recent versions of Microsoft Visual Studio ? Thank you.
