Hello and good Day,   is there any best practices for how to migrate old issues/Items into a new state? We currently changed some of our Workflows/Types. We will added a new State and will remove a old one.   For Example: - We like to add a new State "Active" which replace "Report_Active" to the type "Report". We will remove the old State "Report_Active" from the type. (It wasnt possible to rename "Report_Active" to "Active".)   What is the best way to migrate old items which are still in State "Report_Active" to "Active"? First change the State of the items to the new one and then remove the old state from the type? Or is it possible to to a batch migration afterwards?   Thank you very much    

I have PTC Integrity Modeler 8.3 installed on this work computer. I have a model made in PTC Integrity Modeler 8.5 and therefore cannot open it with 8.3. I want to install 8.5 well guess what!? Can't do that because it needs to uninstall 8.3 and for whatever reason can't find the IntegrityModeler8_3.msi file! And it doesn't exist on my computer! I also have no way of getting it. IT has also been unable to uninstall this program. So now this computer is essentially bricked in regards to Integrity! yay! I wish support would actually supply me with what 8.3 needs to uninstall itself, i.e. the .msi, or tell me what else I am suppose to do. 

I am looking for a way to find the type-defining block of a connector, such as "CableConnSocketA-SocketB" on the following diagram: I cannot find it in the properties of Connector. And I cannot find the connector in any of the browsers except the dictionary browser, that does not lead any further. I would have expected a DataType tab in the Properties pane, as is common with other type definitions, such as with Full Ports, but nothing... (If I select the port "toECU" on the above diagram I get such a DataType tab on the Properties pane, which shows me the full path of "Socket TypeA" and even allows me to switch to its Properties pane.)   The context of the above ibd diagram is the following bdd, where you can see the association-typing block "CableConnSocketA-SocketB" that I am looking for. The shown association between "Socket TypeA" and "Socket TypeB" is the one that I selected from the pop-up menu when I created the connection "Connector" on the ibd diagram above. The ibd belo

It would be very useful to be able to change a part into a full port and vice versa. This could be by the simple expedient of dragging a part on to the containing block's boundary on an IBD. Conversely, dragging a full port off the boundary and into the composition area of the owning block on an IBD. In the browse trees, a similar result might be obtained by being able to toggle the <<fullPort>> stereotype, of the use of a context menu refactoring command. The need for this is justified by the evolution of a model that changes whether or not a block's internal parts should be exposed as its interfaces, or not.

In the GUI, when you view a field details, the "Usage" tab shows which Types use this field and if there is an override.    In the CLI, I can't find an equivalent command to list all the Types that use this field. Is there any other command thru' which I can obtain this info?   Thank you,   Balu

Hi all,   we're using a lot of fields in our integrity items, and very often the fieldnames are not the same as the display names. To help our users to indentify which name they should use (maybo for queries or so) we want to put the fieldname into the description of the field itself, so the user could look at the tooltip of any field to get the real fieldname. So we tried to add the fieldname to the mostly existing description, and we dont want to do this with the admin client, because this would be a horrible clickwork (for more than thousand fields).   We've written a script and within this script we're using the CLI-commands to read the fields, then we parse out the description (which is also a pain) and we tried to use the CLI-commands also to write the new description. But how can you put a multiline description via CLI into the system?   An example: This is a description how it exists today, and how it was edited via the admin client:   This is a description

How to Integrate Integrity LM with Apache SVN?

I am trying to extract an image from the Document workflow. (See attached)   The respective jsp file code for this is :    ArrayList attachement = (ArrayList) getFieldValue (cmdRunner, childId, "Text Attachments");   if (attachement != null && attachement.size () > 0) {    if (text.length () > 0) {     text += "<br>";    }    text = text + "<b><<Attachment>></b>"; // This line seem in correct.   Any body know how to extract the image ? Appreciate your help.               

Hi All,   As part of some test scenario, We were deleted one of the IBPL fields which have millions of reference to many item types. is there a way that we can fix this issue without harming the database manually .inserting or updating database not recommended for such auto DB populated applications. Any help other than DB related would be highly appreciated. We really want to remove the references now !!   Thanks Afsal Ashraf 

Hello, we use the presentation templates to define different images for different types. Now some images have been updated and we have overwritten the images of some types in the original folder. The link under "Image URL" in the presentation template has not changed, only the image itself.Unfortunately not all changed images are displayed (in some types the old images are still visible, in some already the new ones).Does anyone know this behavior and can tell me how to solve it? Is there a hidden cache for this? Thank you

Hi. I integrity says "External Script Name" does not exist, but that´s how it is called in the GUI... How to specify it via CLI?   Is there a general document giving information about available field specifiers and their correct names?

Hello, I am trying to change a field value of a requirement based on if any of the subsection requirements has been edited (Pick list value changed). I am trying to do this using a trigger but I am unsure how to do so. I thought that we are only able to change field values in the same requirement. Based on this, the only way I could see to do this is by pulling information from a relationship field (contained by) and changing the field value through this relationship field. Is this possible? I tried implementing this using the command "getNewRelationshipFieldBeans" and then running an abort command to display what information I pull from the field but what I receive is "[Lmks.ci.server.engine.LocalTriggerManager$ScriptRelationshipBean;@128b7461". Is there another way to accomplish this (easier way)? Is this even possible (I hope so)? I am using Integrity 11.2. I really appreciate your help. Please let me know if there is any more information

Hi All,   I want to create custom action handler in the toolbar which generates the URL for the selected Item. I’ve implemented the Jar file for the performance the same. However, if the item does have an exponential value the URL is generated, However, I’m unable to go the specific location clicking the link, its throwing in an error.   http://mksprod.com:7001/si/viewproject?projectName=/AEU/AEUM1/CustomerDev/VW/PR17876%HLOMN%5fDomain%5fSystem/02%5fProject%5fManagement/07%5fP/02%5fEIntrernal/VW%30E³/project.pj   Here the above link the project name has subscript value and that’s the reason the link is breaking. Do we have any API method to overcome such issues or an alternative way that we can implement this?   Thanks Afsal

Hi there, can someone please explain me exactly what is allowed to edit on versioned items and what is not?   Following problem for example: I have a pick field on my Specification Item. I added this pick field to the "Version Edit Fields" in the Document Model. But when I try to change the pick field on a versioned item I get the error message "Could not save modified item [ID]-[Revision]: MKS930844: Specification: [ID]-[Revision] is versioned. This operation cannot be applied to versioned documents or items." So, does that mean not all fields can be "Version Edit Fields"? What is the logic behind that and why?   Thanks, Timo

Has anyone implemented CMMI solution template (like ALM, Agile, Medical) on Integrity?

We are using ILM 10.9 on Server with a 10.4 Client providing via Terminal Server (Citrix), to allow especially for external Partner Access to Integrity without the Need of local Tool Installation. Server-sided we use as Default Setting the Working Timestamp as Revision Timestamp. We now face the issue that from time to time the Timestamp within the Sandbox differs from the Timestamp stored on the Server.  Testing this issue more detailed it doesn't matter whether we use the Resync-Option "Restore Revision Timestamp" or not, syncing data lead randomly to such Timestamp deviations, usually with only 1 or 2 Seconds.   Does anybody have an idea of Root Cause? Can it be avoided? (If I could force the behavior, I would create a case ....)   Hoping on a usefull hint, Klaus

Hello friends,      I am trying to create a Custom Recipe in PTC Integrity 10.9 for a report where I need to fetch the field value of a document that is related to the document that has been passed as an input to the report.   var fieldvalue1 = <%fieldname1%>; var fieldvalue2 = <%fieldname2%>;   Here, I want the fieldvalue2 to be value of the field "fieldname2"as per the document that I got as "fieldvalue1".   I am very new to Integrity custom report creation. Appreciate your help.    

Hi, I have a pick list that has the option "allow multiple values" checked. I would like to use this field for another item type, but with "allow multiple values" deactivated (single selection only). Is there any possiblity to do this with the same field or do I need two different fields?   The "overrides for fields" can not change this property. With the types contraints I do not see how to do it. Is a trigger the only option? But using a trigger, the GUI still would show that field as multiple value?   Any ideas? Thx, Timo

Looking for some real world examples of the data file verses what is provided within the java script as general example. Would like to take this script and modify for additional processes as well but need real world examples and commentary to understand the usage of the file.

Hello All,   Let me show you how we recently configured the Integrity Lifecycle Manager layout for our Rich Client.Below is an example, the Test Session.As you can see, it looks new and helps the user to navigate easily within the form.Now, I ask you for your feedback. Maybe you have implemented another form layout that you are very proud of?   Test Session Layout:   Same Layout with Comments:   And the other Tabs:

Hello, I am trying to start a query with im issues --queryDefinitionFile="C:/Temp/queryDef.txt" queryDef.txt contains the query definition: --queryDefinition=(("field[Document ID]=516733")and("item.live")and("item.meaningful"))   This returns the error "MKS124814: Cannot show view information: Missing end )" I have tried a lot with leaving out "--queryDefinition=" and more and less ",(,), whatsoever. The definition is definitely correctly readable from the file, which I can see with the im issues -F option which returns the content of the queryDef.txt file as an error message (I just mention this to clarify that the path and name and everything is flawless)     I don´t see any error in the syntax. I can even use this query definition with directly typing im issues --queryDefinition=(("field[Document ID]=516733")and("item.live")and("item.meaningful")) and get the result that I am looking for. But of course there is little point in using the CLI if I not wanted to automize

Hello and good day,   we are using Integrity 10.8 and need to change the Test Session/Case workflow so that only specific Test Cases (state = Active) are added or their verdicts editable within the Test Result Editor. Currently every Test Case of a Test Suite is added to a Test Session and their verdicts are editable, no matter what status the Test Case currently is in.   Would someone please explain how we can achieve this requirement or maybe its not possible? Thank you very much!

Hi there,   I created a read-only dynamic group "Read-only Members", which must not be allowed to change or add items in a project. For the requirement document and content item I changed the item editability to: User is not member of "Read-only Members". This works only for existing items. Problem is, that the users of "Read-only Members" are still able to create a new document and create a new content item inside an existing document. How can I deny this as well for the group?   Thanks, Timo
