How can I delete a state which is no longer needed nor is it used. All references to i have been deleted.Here is what I've tried in CLI:im deletestate --hostname=mks state_nameDeleting state...Submitting...Delete state state_name? [yn](n): yState "state_name" cannot be deleted because it is still being referenced and a database constraint will not allow it to be deleted. If Items have been created that reference this State, you will not be able to delete this State until you deleted those Items. If this state is referenced by admin objects, you can find where it is being referenced by viewing the State and selecting the Refences tab.The References tab display no references.When I try to view references view CLI:im viewstate --hostname=mks --showreferences state_name-------------------------Created by user_name (user_name) on Jul 19, 2004 1:02:41 PMModified by user_name (user_name) on Jun 4, 2014 8:12:00 AMState: state_nameDescription: Blah BlahImage: nonePosition: 120Capabilities: none

Hi,We are planning to do a migration from MKS to SVN and we have found a svnimporter from Polarion and using that to do an import.I have a linux 64 bit machine and trying to installed 32 bit MKS Integrity client 2009 and it fails to invoke si and gives an error as below. Can you please help?Although PATH variable will be set - it would continue to give this error and we cannot extract any code as si does not work.07:32:11,586 [stderr] INFO Exec:84 - /home/vagrant/MKS/IntegrityClient/bin/si: Attempt to launch MKS Integrity Client Timed out. To solve this please try the following:07:32:11,587 [stderr] INFO Exec:84 - - Verify that the user you are logged in as has read and write permissions to the Integrity Client install directory.07:32:11,587 [stderr] INFO Exec:84 - - Make sure the Integrity Client install directory is the very first entry in the path.I have actually set the PATH variable and have tried every possible way. Can you please help?ThanksShalini

I'm having an issue with the emailAdvanced.js script in a rule based trigger.A rule is established to determine when the trigger would fire. The "Post" box is checked. In the "Field Names" box I have "Assigned Group" checked. My problem is the people in those groups are not receiving the email. When I add or remove users to a group it is like they do not update because the new users do not recieve the email and the users removed often receive the email. This one has stumped me for days. This is extremely frustrating. I've been working on this project for almost 2 years. I'm putting it into production and this issue stops it dead in its tracks. Please.... somebody HELP!!

Hi guys,I am trying to make a script that creates some issues based on some properties which are in an .xml file. (State, Summary, Description, Project, Assigned User, etc...)So far, so good, but given the fact that the project is relatively new, some users didn't connect to the project and when the script is trying to create an issue with an Assigned User field with an user like that, it fails creating the issue and gives the following error message:The field "Assigned User" is constrained by the type "Issue", causing the value "uid****" to be invalid.From what I saw, for a user to be found by PTC, he needs to connect at least once on the specified project. Can this behavior be changed and make PTC send a request to the Active Directory of my company to see if the user exists and then successfully create the issue?Thanks in advance

I have a sandbox with multiple subprojects. I want to automatically re synchronize only a group of selected subprojects. Is there a possibility to do this?Thanks

Hi,is there a chance to insert a link to an item that leads to the project backing item?For example making the 'Project' field an active link that leads to the Project's backing item?I can get values from the project backing item by using FVA, but FVA cannot be turned into hyperlink.I would be thankful for any suggestions.Thanks,Chris

I am investigating how to use shared sandboxes, and one of our use cases brings up the need to re-scope a sandbox, but it'd be better to re-scope only a subproject, and not the whole project the sandbox was created for. This is to avoid downloading unneeded extra files from the other subprojects which can make the re-scoping take too long.

Is there any chance to make the adress to the image dynamic. In other words a specific address for each item ID?To make thins clearer:Item ID 12001image adress: www.myfancygraphics.com/12001.jpgItem ID 12002image adress: www.myfancygraphics.com/12002.jpgBackground: we would like to render a few graphics showing complex relationships etc. We would render these images with nightly job, and load them into the items.Any creative ideas how to solve this issue? Would be a great help.Thanks in advance.Chris

I basically need to use an admin account to check if a user has access to projects by running a script.Project access has been set through ACLs, but user's have been added to groups, and those groups added to the ACLs, so the viewacls command doesn't give me information for a specific user.

I am looking for a documentation of the return codes for the si CLI commands.In a script I issue some si commands to log specific information for documentation purposes. Some of the more obvious return codes I'd figured out by testing various situations, e. g. 128 for files being not member of the sandbox or 2 when having no connection to the Integrity server. But now I've a report containing the return code 127 for an 'si diff' command and I could not find out what causes this return code. As the script is used by many different developers I was not able to reproduce the error code on my computer.Searching the documentation did not help either. At least I was not able to find a list of the return codes for the si command.Does anybody know what the return code 127 means for 'si diff' or even better, does anybody know where all the return codes are listed, if such a list exists.

Hello colleagues,I'm trying to create a CSV-report viewing Test-Sessions and the relationships down to TestSteps (Testsession -> TestSuite -> TestCase -> TestStep).That is the csv-headline:ID;Type;Summary;Verdict;AnnotationI'm using the RelationshipL#-Tags and so I get all necessary Items.(that works fine 🙂For the Testresults (TestCase) on level 2 I use <%begintestresultdetail%>-Tags and so I get <%testresult Verdict%> and <%testresult Annotation%>. (that also works fine 🙂Now on level 3 (TestSeps) I need <%beginteststepresultdetail%>-Tags for geting <%teststep Result%> and <%teststep Annotation%> but here I get a list and so I must filter the list for the current (level 3) TestStep.I think it must be like this <%filter%>(field[ID]=<%teststep Step ID%>)<%endfilter%> but it doesn't work.(field[ID] should be the current TestSep ID from level 3)The error-message I get is:MKS124814: Cannot show view information: Error parsing
