Systems/Software Engineering

  In my workflow, I use Python scripts to construct and execute Integrity CLI commands, utilising the Python subprocess module. This works well, but parsing the output from the CLI commands is tricky and not particularly robust.        I have recently been made aware of mksAPIViewer.exe   I have started experimenting with this approach of prepending   mksapiviewer --iplocal --xml To the start of my CLI commands, for example;   mksapiviewer --iplocal --xml im viewissue --hostname=<host> --port=<port> <item ID> This returns me the output, but in XML format. This is much easier to process.   I am keen to understand why this seems to be quite hidden away in Integrity? It appears to be an improvement on the standard CLI output. Should I be using it, or is there some better approach which I have not discovered?   Many thanks, Will

Integrity batch copy items

    I would like to copy multiple ALM_Tasks using the Integrity CLI, with a single batch file. This seems straightforward using   im copyissue --type=ALM_Task <ID> However, I would like to newly copied items to be associated with a different Change Request, and have a slightly different summary. Experimenting with the commands, it seems that   im copyissue --type=ALM_Task --field=ALM_Work Item For=<New CR> --field=Summary=<New Summary> <ID> should work.   However, other fields are not copied, such as the named reviewer or the planned effort. I can see there are options in the CLI help such as    --copyFields, --copyFieldsList, --addFieldValues which I have tried to test out, but I can't seem to get the behavior I want.   Is there a straightforward way to simply copy an item, as is, with ALL the current fields? Once I have done this, I could then edit the fields I want as a second command if necessary.   thanks

Cannot save perspectives anymore after ILM 11.1 CPS03 installation

Hello all,   just as a heads up: with the installation of Integrity Lifecycle Manager 11.1 CPS03 the perspectives are no longer (fully) working. - A user cannot save a perspective anymore (file is created but empty and it cannot be selected anymore) - Perspective saved before installing the CPS03 are still available - Perspectives still can be shared via e-mail   We've already reported the issue to PTC TS and are currently waiting on a response from R&D when a fix can be expected.

Integrity Exporting Images in Word Template

Hello, I have a problem about images and tables don't fit in my export model. For example in Integrity, the image width is 650 pixels but in my export template model it show up 6.5" instead of 6.77". Also its same with lower pixels. For example, when image width is 610 pixels, it is exported to my export template model as 6.5" instead of 6.35".   I couldn't find where can i change it. Is it due to my export template model or should i adjust in integrity? Simply I just wanted to any image which I add into integrity should fit in my export model and shouldn't exceed word page limits.   Thanks.

Transfer Variables from PTC Integrity into SQL

Hey there,   i'm using PTC Integrity at my firm. We have there an Excelfile, which we can Transfer with a perl script to our SQL Database. In Integrity itself, there is a Number for a Member Revision. I can see this Revision Number, when i type echo %MKSSI_REVISION1% in the commandline. Now i tried to write this in perl, but it's really hard for me. I must say perl, that the script should look for the Excelfile Database.xlsx in the path C:\Integrity_Sandbox\Database\Database.xlsx, then read the Member Revision Number of this, and write this Number to my SQL Database. Does anyone has some ideas, how i can manage this? Thanks for your help

Scripts to export values from table in a single cell PTC integrity RTM.

Hi, I am trying to create a RTM trace matrix template from Integrity, using the script (Attachment RTM_TEMPLATE.jpg). The problem is the "Testing Strategy" column cell has imported with table and I am not able to retrieve the single cell value from the table. If I use the <%{Testing Strategy}%>, the whole table gets dumped. Is there a way I can isolate and extract only the cell values from the table.?   Thanks Nanda

How to "freeze" a column in a document

Hello,   We are working with PTC Integrity 10.9   My colleagues working with requirement documents needs a way to "freeze" the ID column while working in Document View. There are several columns in that view and while scrolling right and then down or up, they loose track of the IDs on which they are working. This action would be similar to  Freeze Column in Excel.   Is there a way to freeze column(s) in Integrity?   Thank you, Cristina

Custom action - Open in windows explorer

I'm fairly new to PTC Integrity, but I was trying to create a custom user action that would allow us to select a member and open it in Windows explorer via right-click popup menu (or toolbar button). I've gotten as far as Viewset > Customize > Actions > Custom > Edit... so it looks like the following. Windows explorer will take a string parameter of "/select, " followed by a filepath. Is there a "variable" name that I can use here so it opens to the directory that the selected member is located? Or is this functionality already built in somewhere?? We are using Integrity 10. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.

risk of data loss in ILM 10.x and 11.x

Hi all,I would like to point out here in the community that under certain circumstances when working with ILM Workflow&Documents, set relationships can get lost if you remove a related item from a relationship field by drag and drop. In our case, every link in the backward relationship field is removed, not just those that you pull out with the mouse. This is all the worse because the user does not notice this because he does not see the backward relationship field at all.We reported this case to PTC, it could be reproduced, but PTC is of the opinion that this is not an error but "works as designed". The following article is available: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS274468In my opinion it is absurd to expect the customer to submit an idea and leave him (and other customers) alone with the risk of data loss in the meantime. kind regards, Jens

Q:How2use GIT Integration

Dear community,  We recently upgraded to ILM11.2 and using oracle db as repository.  Due to several troubles with source files under linux OS[1] we tried to configure and use GIT integration. I'm not really familiar with GIT and so I have a few questions regarding the GIT integration.  Is it possible to manage source code with the GIT integration?  if "YES" is it possible to use the ILM client to manage (check out/in, checkpoint) the source files?  if "YES" is there a proper description how2use the GIT integration with the ILM client?  Where are the data stored for this source files? Is it possible to manage the linux files also in our oracle db?  How could I create a project (configuration management) with linux files using the GIT integration?       [1]  - destroyed attributes on linux files. Means the attributes on the files are not the same after check in and out - big repositories (many files with s

URL for Item attachments?

  Hi, I have a series of scripts which interact with Integrity using the CLI via. Python subprocessing. I can easily extract information relating to a particular item with im viewissue and then use Python to parse the output and extract the information I want.   What I would like to do is generate a list of URLs for the attachments associated with each item.  I am aware of  im extractattachments but this actually downloads the files from the server. The issue with extractattachements, is that I plan to process many items, each with multiple attachments. Of these, the user may be interested in only a handful, so downloading them all would be wasteful. I would like to present the user with the links, which they can click to download the files if they choose.    Is this approach possible? A compromise would be a link which opened up the item in the Integrity GUI (or web client) on the attachments tab?   Thanks in advance Will

Search All Items in MKS from CLI

I want to search all the items in MKS for a particular condition from command line interface. But, I'm not getting any such option. MKS CLI offers a command to view multiple items ("im issues") but it is asking for item id. I'm not sure how this command would return multiple items details as one item id can return only one item details.I can search all the items without knowing the item id or run a query based on a condition using explorer GUI. So, just wondering why similar staff is not there in CLI. Please suggest if this can be achieved using CLI.--------------------------------------Best RegardsSourav Das
