Hi Team,

Hi Arun,

I am not sure whether using the --gui option gives you a result on the command line at all, as you'll get the visual feedback.

Without the --gui option your command should result in something like:

Modifying item ...

Editing fields ...

Submitting ...

Updated item <# ITEM_ID# >

usually the new Item'S ID is the result value of a CLI "im createIssue .... " command.

Depending on the Integrity Version you are using, this result is either streamed out on STDIO or STDERR.

So you might have to check both and parse the result.

Thanks for the reply Matthias.

I was trying to capture STDIO / STDERR using below command - but got empty log file.Could you help.


im editissue --Field='Description=%DESCRIPTION%' --gui %ITEM_ID% 1>D:/Integrity/log1.txt 2>&1

**I'm able to get logs for viewissue commands.

I was expecting Integrity tool to return some value after submitting the new Issue using --gui.

Even parsing from a log file (in Integrity Client machine) will do for me

Hi Arun,

Could you mark which of Matthias' responses helped you resolve this issue? You can hit the Correct Answer button for the post that most closely resolved the issue and you can mark any post which also helped as Helpful by clicking on the Actions button at the bottom of a post and selecting Mark as Helpful.

The benefit of this is that if someone comes by this later, they can see what helped you get a resolution to your issue, and it also recognizes Matthias' contribution to helping you with this issue.

On a related note, if you feel that using the --gui flag should not prevent the item ID from being dumped to STDERR, you can open up a case with PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager Support to have this added as a feature.

Hi Arun,

you can use the --xmlapi flag and parse their the command output to extract the IssueID.

Hi Arun

ok. maybe it work for you to first to create the Issue without --gui and then open it with 'im editissue --gui IssueID'?

or you want the possibility to cancel the issue creation?

Regards

Thierry

You could try the --displayIdOnly option. This has the effect you want of printing the ID of the newly created item. Using Korn you can do something like

co2=$(im createissue --type="Change Order" <<fields>> --displayIdOnly 2>&1)

print "Created Change Order issue $co2 and saved ID" >>deploy.log

Still getting same issue.

displayIdOnly not returning any value when used with --gui.


Regards,

Arun
