creating story via API

[nshaikh]

I am creating a story via the API

im createissue --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com --type=Story --addRelationships=Epic:168598 --field=Description=This backlog to develop 3rd Party Adapters Automation. --field=Current Estimate=16 --field=Scrum Team=3rd Party Adapters WPD --field=QA Required=false --field=Story Type=Story --field=Acceptance Criteria=Planned automation work completed. --field=Primary Segment=PLM --field=Summary=[Auto] 3PWGM - Adapters Automation - 1508 --field=Assigned Users=nshaikh --field=Product Owners=youkim --field=Pubs Required=false --

this returns with error

Failed with exception: Could not save item: MKS124066: Field "Epic" does not exist.

com.mks.api.response.impl.XMLResponseImpl@1188e820

This was working before Integrity migrated to new version

what is the fix for this

[mrump]

IMHO the problem lies in "--addRelationships=Epic:168598"

As for the I10.6 CLI document this parameter is deprecated.

You should use "--addFieldValues=Epic=168598" instead

I tried via API doe snot work

I also tried via the im utility (see below)

D:\Program Files (x86)\Integrity\IntegrityClient10\bin>im createissue --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com --type=Story --field=Epic=168598

Creating Story ...

*** Could not save item: MKS124066: Field "Epic" does not exist.

Hello Nazeer,

Could you provide the output of this command:

     im viewtype --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com Story

Specifically, what we're interested in here is whether the field Epic exists.  Is Epic actually a type?  If so, is item 168598 an item of that type?  If so, is there a relationship field which connects a Story to an Epic?  It is likely that relationship field's name which should be used in the place of Epic when using --addFieldValues=<RelationshipField>=168598.

Regards,
Kael

Hi,

you don't really read what Kael and Matthias wrote:

you need the addFieldValues option:

im createissue --addFieldValues="Epic"=168598

Nazeer,

Was Tobias's answer helpful?  If not, could you let us know what you feel is missing from the answer, or why the results weren't satisfactory?  If it is, could you press the Correct Answer button on his post to let everyone know the solution to this problem?

[nshaikh]

No,

The issue is not resolved

As Kael suggested using the below command

im viewtype --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com Story

gives me this error

*** MKS124295: This command requires Admin permission or Type Administrator access.

whereas using the command

im createissue --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com --type=Story --addFieldValues=Epic=168598

gives me the error

Creating Story ...

*** Could not save item: MKS124066: Field "Epic" does not exist.

See attached video

With the previous Integrity version the below command worked fine

im createissue --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com --type=Story --addRelationships=Epic:168598

but this also gives error as

Creating Story ...

Adding relationships ...

*** Could not save item: MKS124066: Field "Epic" does not exist.

[mrump]

please use im fields --gui to verify the correct field name of your "EPIC" relationship field.

I assume that EPIC is only the Display Name, which cannot be uses in the CLI.

[nshaikh]

D:\Users\nshaikh>im fields --gui

D:\Users\nshaikh>im fields

*** MKS124295: This command requires Admin permission or Type Administrator access.

[nshaikh]

My entire command is something like this  (after removing relationships for epic)

but his also fails

im createissue --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com --type=Story --field=Description=Test --field=Current Estimate=16 --field=Scrum Team=3rd Party Adapters WPD --field=QA Required=false --field=Story Type=Story --field=Acceptance Criteria=TestStory_delete --field=Primary Segment=PLM --field=Summary=TestStory_delete --field=Assigned Users=nshaikh --field=Product Owners=youkim --field=Pubs Required=false

im: MKS124822: Invalid value provided for "field": A property must have a value.

How can I know, which are fields for type story

[KaelLizak]

Hello Nazeer,

As you mentioned this earlier,

As Kael suggested using the below command

im viewtype --user=nshaikh --port=7001 --hostname=integrity.ptc.com Story

gives me this error

*** MKS124295: This command requires Admin permission or Type Administrator access.

and this

D:\Users\nshaikh>im fields

*** MKS124295: This command requires Admin permission or Type Administrator access.

I would say that you need someone with on the AdminServer Access Control List to get this output for you, or you need to get your user ID placed on the AdminServer ACL so that you can run those commands.  Anything other than that will just be a matter of shooting in the dark.

[nshaikh · Accepted solution]

I did some investigation and then came up with the solution

use "Backlog Item For" instead of Epic

eg.

im createissue --port=7002 --hostname=integritydev.ptc.com --type=Story --addRelationships="Backlog Item For":168598 --field=Description="This backlog to develop 3rd Party Adapters Automation." --field="Current Estimate"=16 --field="Scrum Team"="3rd Party Adapters WPD" --field="QA Required"="false" --field="Story Type"="Story" --field="Acceptance Criteria"="Planned automation work completed." --field="Primary Segment"="PLM" --field="Summary"="[Auto] 3PWGM - Adapters Automation"  --field="Assigned Users"="nshaikh" --field="Product Owners"="youkim" --field="Pubs Required"="false" --field="Product Line"="Windchill Core"
