Hi! We are using the SE Solution, where the category for the type requirement is constrained in the following way:   Constrained Method: Field Relationsship Source Field: Referenced Item Type Source Values: Shared Requirement Constrained Field: Category Allowed Values: Heading, ...   Can someone explain me why "Referenced Item Type = Shared Requirement" is used here? Why not just "Type = Requirement"? Would that make a difference?   Thanks Timo

Hello Support, Can you please provide me the Command Line example to view the Project ACL contents? Thank you. Regards Pashan  

Hi, We are using Integrity Client 11.0.0.506 and Java API 4.16.506   When executing  the SI projectco command it throws "com.mks.api.response.CommandException" which unfortunately contains no obvious useful fields about the error   I would expect to know  if the member is not found or if access to member is denied   The exception's getMessage() and getLocalizedMessage() methods returns null.   Also if I serialize the exception to string I get nothing, the result is "" StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();ex.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(stringWriter));String details = stringWriter.toString();   Can someone provide some hints ?   IntegrationPointFactory factory = IntegrationPointFactory.getInstance();IntegrationPoint integrationPoint = factory.createLocalIntegrationPoint(APIVersion.API_4_16);integrationPoint.setAutoStartIntegrityClient(true);Session session = integrationPoint.getCommonSession();  CmdRunner cmdR

Currently the system allows you type in the URL address for the image but when we move to testing there can be no changes made unless it is moved back to a development environment as the audit rules say you do not make changes after testing has been signed off.   Should be able to embed the <%hosturl%> as a part of the link to give the ability to NOT change the URL for moving from Staging to Production.

Hello,I'm looking information about the compatibility of Integrity 10.4 with Centos 6.10. We are currently in Centos 6.7 without any issue and we need to be sure we are compliant with this OS upgrade.If you are not able to confirm the compatibility, maybe could you provide us with the main features that are likely to be degraded and we should be concened about.

I've created a document type called a Product Structure, and items within the product structure are the product structure elements.  The idea is that when the user creates a functional requirement, he can assign it to one of the product structure elements.   So in the requirements item I have an IBPL that points to the defined items in the product structure.  Works great and is really flexible. But I would like to restrict the IBPL items that are displayed to the current project only.  It is never acceptable for a requirements document to assign requirements to another products product structure elements.   Can anyone suggest how to do this?  I've played with creating filters on the IBPL field, but cannot see how to filter on current project. if that is not possible I'm ok with associating the product structure document to the requirements document through a Relationship or Attachment, but didn't see how to set that up on a filter. Anything

We use PTC Integrity Client 11.0 0.506   In Source Configuration Management SI, what is the path length limit  for project with subprojects ? 255 characters or what other value ?   Example of project path t:/mks/Work/...../lineA/prodA/pro111/tests/common

How do you remove unwanted span tags from rich content? Somehow tags were added which is defining the text as black and this is causing issues elsewhere. Normally the font color isn't defined.

Hey Community,   I am building a Model that I want an output to occur. In saying that I want the model to be able to produce a solution through an equation that I have produced. I have tried doing this through SySim and also Simulink and to this point have had no luck unfortunately, and was wondering if anyone knew if this was possible? If there is a inbuilt mathematical solver within Integrity Modeller.   Thanks

Hi All,   we would like to export a document difference form in a certain format. Using the web GUI we are able to easily print the created difference document but this comes with a few issues I hope to resolve:   1. Unlike the difference document within the rich client (non-web) it seems you cannot choose fields you want to compare besides the text field. But to compare changes regarding our references (traces) is absolutely necessary. 2. Within the diff. document changes are shown in a certain format. New text is green, erased text is red and crossed out. We would like to implement some changes here. So for instance change the color green to blue. We were able to change the color of headings from blue to black by making changes to a CSS-File "ALM 2009" on the server but unfortunately we were not able to change the (color scheme) settings for the difference text.    Every help is highly welcomed 🙂   Thanks upfront and great day to all readers of this lit

Dear community,   I am wondering what you all are using as an editor for the dashboards. To us, the dashboard would be the main page for all users to start their session on, and it would be lovely to see it having a nice and snappy look.   I'm seeing a lot of interesting constructions in the dashboard editor, where columns are added with mini blank pictures in there in order to get the correct spacing. Also, in some of the out-of-the-box dashboards I saw some panels with "shadows" around them, but these are also partially composed of pictures. See my screenshot of these included pictures.     I am wondering how other users are designing their dashboards with in Integrity, or do you focus most on your HTML reports? What are your experiences? I'd love to get in touch and share thoughts on this.   Best regards, Nils  

Hello Community,the test result metrics are calculated via the field "Test Objective Pass Count" and a special undocumented (?) function "resultcountbysession()" that looks via an query backed relationship on all "Completed Test Sessions" (query) to count the test results (for "pass", "fail", "other").For example, the computation from the ALM solution for passed tests is:isEmpty(resultcountbysession(Tests,byDocument(true,true),0,"Completed Test Sessions","pass"),0)# The number of test cases with a pass verdict type last result from completed test sessions.  Only results for this specific test objective (not related test objectives) are included.My problem is now to split up the test results by the Category of the Tests items, e.g. "System Test", "Software Test", etc.But how to add the condition for the category in this computation?I assume that I have to add fields per category like "Test Objective <category> Pass Count" and so on, and add the "Total <category> Pass Co

Is it possible to connect PTC Integrity with IBM Rational Products like Rhapsody, Change or Synergy?

Hello,   Creation of build sandbox with a checkpoint revision using the following syntax fails with a message stating that "development path and project options are mutually exclusive with new project syntax" si createsandbox -P<project path> -projectRevision=1.43   Integrity Client version is 11   The command works fine without the projectRevision option.   What is the new syntax for specifying checkpoint version ?   Thanks, Satish K  

Is there any document gives details on "Beans > Methods > Parameters > use" in single pdf or excel?   The "Event Trigger Java Documentation" gives the details but its difficult to find the beans and methods from requirement. if we have any simplified document where we can get all these details, it will be very helpful.   For example, we can find something like following:   Bean Method Parameter use Example special remark               Else, PDF of all the details from the html details would also very helpful. Thanks

I am working on a tool using the Integrity Java API. I am using JavaFX for the UI. I have a TableView and right now, to bind an ObservableList, I am converting a WorkItem to a different object type that I have cleverly named WorkItem2. What I am doing is in the below code snippet (the real class uses more fields). This allows me to use an ObservableList<WorkItem2> and then use normal data binding with JavaFX.   My question is, is there a way to do data binding with WorkItems directly? I would like to avoid having to create properties for every field if possible.   public class WorkItem2 { private SimpleStringProperty id; private SimpleStringProperty project; private SimpleStringProperty summary; public WorkItem2(WorkItem source) { id = new SimpleStringProperty(source.getId()); Iterator fields = source.getFields(); while (fields.hasNext()) { Field field = (Field) fields.next(); String name = field.getName(); switch (name) { case "Project": pr

Hi, I want to copy the data of a field A to field B for a big number of items. Both fields are part of the same item. The batch copy action should be performed for all items that are found for a certain query. Can this be done be a command line option? Can you help me on that, since I am not familiar with command line options yet. Thanks!   Timo

Hello everyone, we changed or document workflow. Now I want to delete some of the labels which were automatically set by trigger "MKS.ALM: Segment State". For each state defined in MKS.RQ.BaselineLabelStates a label in the form "Baseline: Published" is set, when document comes into that state.   I tried to deleted such a label, but I get the following error message: MKS124803: Internal error detected: Exception was: java.lang.NullPointerException   Is it possible to delete these label afterwards?   Thanks Timo

We have a Type named "Test Equipment" which has a unique field named "Asset Pulse ID".  When a Test Equipment is copied we want a trigger to look for any duplicates of the Asset Pulse ID field and then change the state of the original item to Inactive.  I'm a newbie to PTC Integrity and would appreciate any examples to help me set this up.  We are using PTC Integrity version 10.9.   Thanks, Terry

Hi all, i used the GateWay tool wizard to Export & Import Excel files, it works wonderful. And if i going to use the command line to Import new item:   Gateway import --user=*** --hostname=*** --port=*** --config="XXXX" --silent --file="file-path-and-name"  also works fine. The Problem is just if i want to use the command line to update an item (i can Import it through the wizard without error😞 Gateway import --user=*** --hostname=*** --port=*** --config="XXXX" --silent --file="file-path-and-name" itemID  then i get the error:   12/12/18 10:21 AM -- [Gateway-App] GATEWAY(0): "import" command abnormally terminated: MKS10001: Uncaught Exception in MKS Gateway Command 12/12/18 10:21 AM -- [Gateway-App] GATEWAY(0): com.mks.gateway.tool.exception.GatewayException java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException at com.mks.gateway.tool.ui.ContentsView.getSelection(ContentsView.java:253) at com.mks.gateway.tool.ui.GatewayImportCommand.selectConfigurationStep(GatewayImportComman
