How to Export Segment fields in Excel through Integrity-Excel Integration?

Since now, I am creating multiple import parser for different documents. Now What i want is to create a single generic parser for many Documents.

I want to establish Microsoft project professional 2016 with Integrity knowing the fact that the version isn't yet available as a established integration from PTC.   Has anyone established a workaround or want to establish this integration as a customer requirement?   As 2016 version is the latest one, this is a need for most of the organization.   Regards, Abhishek Patil

Hi all together!   I'm a bit wondering for some time and today thought about something which would improve the performance of one of our integrations (communicating with Integrity using the Java API), if this wouldn't be the case. There're notes in the Java Doc of the Integrity Java API (mksapi.jar), like this: "Note: The MKS implementation of this interface is not thread safe and it is not recommended that multiple threads be used to access this interface." (From the com.mks.api.response.Response interface)   So, the problem is, if I want to reliable access the methods of a PTC/MKS implementation of the Response interface (which is the usual thing returned by CmdRunner.executeCommand(), I need to build my whole application as a single-threaded, sequenciel application. This is, at least from performance point of view, not the best idea in all cases. Consider this case: We've an integration which periodically requests information from Integrity and performs tasks based on the

Can we uninstall or remove the solution(.imt solution) completely from Integrity 10.9?

Hi all,at the moment we're working with Integrity 10.7, but we are in the evaluation process to update to 11.0. And we are using some external tools to work with integrity, and these tools mostly are using the Java-API to Integrity.Until now the external tools can create and use sandboxes, and for creating sandboxes they look into a choosed filesystem folder for the project.pj to determine whether this folder is already used as a sandbox. Since Integrity 10.8 the project.pj-files in the sandbox-folders are gone, and now we are searching for a new, quick solution to replace the old functionality.Certainly we can use the API-connection to the integrity client and use the information the client is holding, but this would be much more complex than a quick look into a folder without opening a client-connection. As an idea: Is it possible to read the new database, which is holding all the sandbox information (bypassing the client)?Thanks, Jens

HelloI am trying to connect to Mks using the mks java api and encounter the Connection refused: connect error.I am using the following code { IntegrationPointFactory ipf = IntegrationPointFactory.getInstance();CmdRunner cmdRunner;Response resp = null;try {cmdRunner = ipf.createLocalIntegrationPoint(4, 10).getCommonSession().createCmdRunner();Command cmd = new Command(Command.SI, "about");resp = cmdRunner.execute(cmd);} catch (APIException e) {System.out.println("Error " + e.getMessage());resp = e.getResponse();}}to connect at mks client (I am using MKS Integrity Client 2009) and I encounter the following error { Connection refused: connect} How can I improove the above code in order to successfully connect to mks and skyp the error ?Best regards,

Hi,I execute following CLI in script, which gives me response. var command = new Packages.com.mks.api.Command("im", "viewissue");   command.addOption(new Packages.com.mks.api.Option("showHistory"));   ProjectID = 30300;   command.addSelection(ProjectID);      var response = api.executeCmd(command);   if(response != null)   {     var status = response.getWorkItems().next();     //want history here   }I don't know how to read History through it, here I want what modification was done on the project 30300 in last few days.  Is there any method in API Bean instead of CLI ?

Does PTC Integrity integration with LabView?

I am trying to put together a document when a trigger is run from Integrity. In particular I want to get the text which you can find by viewing the "History" tab of any item from the User viewset.   1) Am I correct in assuming the history cannot be accessed from a standard bean?   I have tried the following code to retrieve the history using the API from my script: var apisession = eb.createAPISessionBean(); var command = new Packages.com.mks.api.Command("im", "viewissue"); command.addOption(new Packages.com.mks.api.Option("showHistory")); command.addSelection(10000); var response = apisession.executeCmd(command);   But I can't really tell if this is useful, it doesn't seem to contain the history (despite use of "showHistory") when I've looked through the "response" object's keys.   2) Is there another way to do this?   Thanks

How can we Export Integrity Document into PDF directly rather then Exporting to DOC and Converting to PDF ?

Hi everyone, When we execute out test session then we set verdict in respect of every test case and if more then one test case fails then our test session if failed then we again create Test Session for the same Test Objective again but i want to accomplish some scenarios if can be possible or there is any workaround:- 1.) Suppose we have total of 10 Test Case and assume in first Test Session 3 get fail and 7 gets passed then in 2nd test session only those 3 test case comes automatically. 2.) If Test case T1 is related with T2 and T3 then if we select T1 test case then both of related test case also get selected automatically. Any quick response might be helpful. I look forward to hear from you all...   Regards, Kapil 

On document Level ,document owner is a field capturing current user who will create that document by trigger. And in content level of that document Assigned user is a field can control each content. How to accomplish that document owner can also edit or control all the content (Only assigned user can edit the content as of now but want to give permission to Document owner as well ). By trigger I know how to do , but is there any short method ?

Does anyone suggest me how to capture effort and costing in testing cycle up to project level ? And if you are doing what is your way to achieve the same ? Any quick suggestion and idea would be helpful ? (Not only technical idea any business side idea would also be helpful.)

Dear All,is it possible to import requirements into PTC IM  from Word, Excel files for instance?Regards,Alessandro

This document details the various mechanisms that provide "traceability" in Integrity.  For the purposes of this document, traceability is defined as the ability to link disparate items/objects/artifacts together to provide increased visibility and easier location of the related items. The exact types of objects linked, as well as the reasons for doing so differ on a case by case basis.   The functionality detailed includes both the various types of relationship fields as well as the special functionality described as traces.  The document is roughly divided into two sections;  definitions and recommendations on how to configure the various relationship mechanisms, followed by how to view or use the various mechanisms. 

Can I call the MKS CLI commands automatically by putting them in my build.xml file? I am trying to automate aspects of the build process using the mkstask.jar and mksapi.jar files and would like to be able to configure my build.xml file so that it will automatically connect to the integrity server and make those commands. Is this possible? Upon looking at the CLI reference guide, it seems like they must directly be typed into the command line terminal since the commands are always listed like so:im connect [--hostname=value] [--port=value] [--password=value] [--user=value] [(-?|--usage)] [(-F file|--selectionFile=file)] [(-N|--no)] [(-Y|--yes)] [--[no]batch] [--cwd=directory] [--forceConfirm=[yes|no]] [(-g|--gui)] [--quiet] [--settingsUI=[gui|default]] [--status=[none|gui|default]]however, upon viewing some documentation on the ant task, it seems as though these commands could be put in the build.xml file and automatically invoked like in this example:The MKS Source command "si co --lo

I want to change a content level in excel.SectionText1here is text......2here is text....3here is text....SectionText1here is text......1.1here is text....2here is text....So I'm finding many blogging, it could do at MKS solution (maybe in 2008)  (reference : https://change.unigroupinc.com/documentation/pdf/MicrosoftExcelIntegrationGuide.pdf , 23page)But it doesn't work.this is code that I try in excel integration.<field external="Relationship" internal="Contained By"  field-type="relationship" direction="both" reldirection="backward"/>and this is error message in excel integration."Could not save modified item 3788: MKS124080: Cannot modify standard field: Contained By"

What is the difference between the IM beans and the SI beans(ex imServerBean vs siServerBean)? What are the situations where you should or should not use them and why?

I added in my viewset the comment feature but I don't knwo how to use it. I didn't find any information in help but there was another useful feature named bookmark.I wanted to use it as well but I don't understand how to activate it. When I highlight a text and I want to use "properties" in drop-down menu, this feature is greyed.Any recommendations:     - to use the comments     - to activate the bookmark feature

Currently it is not possible to use the XML language defined include structure:gateway configuration XML could include many different xmls that define the different exporters and importers.Would be nice to have such feature

Intro This article outlines a concept how you can include the Gateway Configuration files for mappings and the main gateway-tool-configuration.xml in the staging process. The goal is to have a single process for each type of server file transfer.   Advantages No need to touch any Gateway file on TEST or PROD environment. File transfer utilizes the standard Integrity Stage Process Current Status In Integrity Standard, the Gateway server files resides in the directory server/data/gateway. Therefore those files can not be staged. But it is a common request to stage them like any other server file.   Our Approach The staging process takes up all files which are stored in server/data/public_html. So at first, we put the gateway XML files beside the Gateway template files. Additionally, we use a trigger script to copy the staged files from this directory into the target directory. During this copy process the trigger will also change the server name to the right one. &n

Has anyone did or cracked Vector Canoe Integration with PTC Integrity as it's not supported yet PTC but still has anyone tried ?
