Using MKS 9.6 and its respective MKS API, we have observed that sometimes command execution can take up an unreasonable amount of time. Running the same command sequentially have a wide range of execution time. Wide range meaning for example in case of an "si projects" command sometimes the execution time is less than 3 seconds, but we have seen 11 mins long times as well. These absurd differences are observed on the exact same machine, when directly looped for testing purposes. (Also, no recognizable pattern in the execution time.) The measurement is done only for the command        mksResponse response = mksCmdRunnerExecCmd(cmdrunner, actcmd, INTERIM_CACHE);in case of using the C API. (We have observed the same problems using the JAVA API as well.)When the absurdly long executions happened, we have seen log lines like            destruction of cache (for user moldovanyi)     - moldova

I have the trigger and script in place and working, I don't how to get the bean, however. The normal delta-bean doesn't seem to work for Test Results.   This is to write a script that looks at the Verdict and verifies that some various other fields are properly filled out.   The 2 folks that I normally go to for questions like this are both on vacation..Kind regards, -Sean

Is there a way to audit or automate via trigger a list of inactive users in the last 90 days?  What I mean by inactive is that the have not logged in to Integrity in 90+ days.  We are currently using MKS Integrity 2009 SP7 using the MKS Domain for security.  We will be upgrading to PTC Integrity 10 in the coming weeks.I ask this because we are doing a security audit of our enterprise.  I know (correct me if I wrong, I'm not a Windows server guru) with Windows server you can set user accounts to be locked out or to expire after a given time of inactivity has passed.ThanksDan

Is there any way to redirect the creation of IntegrityClient.rc file to create in another UNIX location instead of UNIX home directory, By default the file is creating in the user's home directory. We needs to setup the client so that the file IntegrityClient.rc can create in /var/tmp

I have a user asking if it is possible to list what sandboxes another user may have created.  I know "si sandboxes" will list the ones on your own machine, however the user wishes to see the sandboxes on another machine, without physically accessing that machine.  any ideas?

I am trying to use tm setresults to commit a few hundred test case results (in a single session) at a time. I don't think the issue is with the quantity but I don't know. My action definition is below (minus most of the results). When I try to execute the command (via C API), I get the error: MKS124581: Line 11: Problem parsing XML content: nullI assume this error is actually referring to line 12 with the attachment but I don't know for sure. Does anyone know what the issue is? Attachment name is supposed to be optional so I don't think leaving that out is the issue. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE ActionList SYSTEM "ActionList.dtd"> <ActionList sessionID="61686"> <SetResult caseID="60768">   <Verdict>Passed</Verdict>   <AddRelatedItem id="61743" /> </SetResult> <SetResult caseID="60764">   <Verdict>Not Passed</Verdict>   <Annotation>Reason: </Annotation>   <AddRel

If you have two projects: Project A(this being a test case library) and Project B(this being an application), if you create test suites(with parameters) in project A and then using insert content(or include)  into a test suite in project B, can you tell integrity to assume the scope of the Project B project level parameters, instead of using the project A project level parameters? 

I have two date fields that I created for my test results: Execution Date and Execution Modified Date. When I kick them out to an html report, they do not format per the definition in the report wizard. Other date and date time fields do though. Is this a bug or am I doing something incorrectly? I can use JavaScript as a work around but I would prefer to not have to do that.

Is that possible? instead of Setting them up manually again ....Thanks for sharing your expirience.

Hello.With one of our customers we need to have a round trip mechanism for requirements management. We receive RIF files extracted from DOORS which we import in Integrity using the PTC Requirements Interchange Format Utility 2.4.  After we complete the work we are exporting the requirements in RIF format using the same utility and send the result to the customer. When the customer tries to import the RIF that we have sent he fails in doing so.The customer is using DOORS as a requirements management tool combined with Exeerpt 2.3 for the export to RIF format.One suspicion from his side is that the dates in the PTC Integrity RIF exported file contains milliseconds that Exerpt can not interpret.Is there a possibility to configure the RIF utility to export the dates up to seconds?Thanks you for your support.Gabriel

Hello, is there a way to sort test results in a report by test case ID and by test case modified date? ThanksFriedrich

I am working on a script with PTC Integrity interactions. To be sure the IntegrityClient is running, I call 'si connect' first:si connect --gui --hostname=someserver.domain.org --port=1234In case the client is not running, it is started and the user is prompted for username and password => OKIn case the client is running, the command just returns => OKWhen the client is running, but it is currently not connected - red exclamation mark next to 'user@server:port' in the status bar - then the command hangs infinitely => BADI also tried the command in batch mode, which I usually use to check if the client is running but prevent from starting if not, has the same behavior:si connect --batchWhen I go to the IntegrityClient window and get the connection up again, by just clicking to any sandbox member, the commands work properly again.Is there an option for 'si connect' or another command, which I didn't see, to force the re-connection of the IntegrityClient without blocking the exec

I come from the Microsoft TFS world, and now i'm obviously working with Integrity. In TFS if you needed to setup CI for a branch you just created a build definition and linked it to the branch, and every time someone checked in a file a build would start. I see that Integrity seems to have a couple different branching concepts. One of these branch types is a build branch. What is this build branch and why would I want one?

I have a project that contains multiple modules, that are shared subprojects.We want to create our work environment like this:-create a build sandbox from a specific project checkpoint (release)-create a normal sandbox for the module - and do here the modification, then checkpoint the module.To compile the project, the module has to be inside it (it's not working with linked folder).Because we cannot configure the shared subproject to his Mainline, because the sandbox is build, we would like the create the module sandbox in the module location inside the build sandbox.Is there a way to do this? Or, do you have other ideas/solutions ?Thanks,Ana

Hi,I'm trying to print a list off all non-members within a sandbox into a textfile. I've tried 'si viewnonmembers' but got this error message in return:MKS124814: Cannot show view information: MKS125335: Out of tree members and subprojects (not located in the project directory or a subdirectory of the project directory) are not supported.The errormessage doesn't seem to fit my sandbox so I would be grateful if anyone has a clue what went wrong. By the way, if I am using the GUI (Sandbox -> Views -> view non-members)   this works fine.Thanks!

Hi,I have written a code that is returning all Change Packages those are assigned to me and in 'Open' state.

I have an issue with usage of Parameter Values.  When I enter a value for a specific item and then later go back to either modify the value or delete the parameter from the item, Integrity will not save the change and immediately reverts to the previous value when I refresh or select a different item.  Does anyone know why this is happening and how I might solve this issue?  The value is set within the item I have open and it is not a hierarchy issue.

I am developing a Java plugin using plugins provided by integrity to communicate with Integrity.I am able to connect to the server. I need some inputs regarding checkout process.I got the below code when I searched. But I am not sure what parameters do I need to pass for this method. configPath is either sandbox path or servers path?And please check the parameters mentioned whether I am giving the correct values or not?And In my code I am using first argument as Session instead of APISession. When Iam running it it is giving me the error “Error occurred when running command: si: MKS124819: Invalid option: "server"”. What are all the option values it accepts? Is it different for every command? Where can I found this information?Please suggest me If i can develop in a different way also.       /**         * Performs a checkout of this Integrity Source File to a  working file location on the build server represented by

I would like to create a constraint on an item based on the linked child items.I have an item called "Project" that will have child items of "Task". Both of these items types have a state field and the same values like, "In Progress", "Ready For Review", "Complete", etc. What I want to do is keep the user from changing the "Project"/parent item state to the next state if all the "Task"/child items are not in the right or same state. Once all the tasks are set to the right state I would like to allow the project item state to advanced. So, is this possible, and if so could someone point me to the right docs?Visual example:(T1)     Project State:In Progress          Children:               Task 1 State:In Progress               Task 2 State:In Progress(T2) - Note that at this time the u
