[Integrity] - Report Computed Fields: Challenge #4

May 8, 2013, 8:48 am
$

Does anyone know if I can determine a HistoricFieldValue (of State, for example) as of 00:00:00 on a specific day?  I want to flag a record as being "Open"  or "Not Open" as of the start of the 1st day of the current month.  So, I am testing if the State was "Closed" or "Canceled"; if either, they're flagged with 0.  Otherwise, they're flagged with 1.  In the following example, the IDs are the State values (10=Closed; 41=Canceled).  The problem is that the following expression will have different results, based on the time of day that the report is run.  Thanks.

Custom action - Open in windows explorer

I'm fairly new to PTC Integrity, but I was trying to create a custom user action that would allow us to select a member and open it in Windows explorer via right-click popup menu (or toolbar button). I've gotten as far as Viewset > Customize > Actions > Custom > Edit... so it looks like the following. Windows explorer will take a string parameter of "/select, " followed by a filepath. Is there a "variable" name that I can use here so it opens to the directory that the selected member is located? Or is this functionality already built in somewhere?? We are using Integrity 10. Any suggestions or help will be greatly appreciated.

Fields Created based on Criteria

My question to the community, is it possible to have fields be automatically created based upon certain criteria? Right now, in my template I have to create the fields and then determine when they are visible based on a certain criteria. I would rather the field actually be created when the criteria is met instead of having to create a 100 redundant fields. For example, I have Row A with 5 fields once all 5 fields have been filled, Row B is created with the same 5 fields that would need to be filled out before Row C can be generated.

MS word integration, any experienced user ? (migrated thread) Posted: Jun 17, 2008 6:57 AM

   andreas.ulbricht2    Posts: 47   Registered: Nov, 2007


I've tried to import requirements into MKS integrity using the MS word integration. I was successful in importing something, but the structure of the imported content differs strongly from what I want to have. I have tried integration using the RM solution templates, and I did not succeed using the buttons described in the integrations builder guide. My impression is that documentation is absolutely incomplete. Is there anyone who has experience with the word integration and can send me example files, from which I can see how to structure the word content in order to get structured items imported into MKS integrity.

The two Document Structure Definitions that we ship with the MS Word Integration provide a general-case import structure that will work for most users.  Some details about each DSD follow.

The "RQ 2007 Document Structure Definition" DSD is a non-condensing template, which means that every new paragraph, list bullet, etc is treated as a new requirement.

The "RQ 2007 Document Structure Definition (condensing text) DSD is a condensing template that looks for changes in the outline level of the document to indicate headers and nested positions of requirements. The condensing DSD does require headings to be present to separate the requirements.  If your document is importing as a single requirement, you may want to check your outline levels. (See the MS Word help information about outlining for more information).

If you still aren't able to get your documents importing in the way that you're expecting, can you please elaborate on what it's doing/not doing that is not expected.  Alternatively, you can always open up a service request with MKS Customer Care and we can help you further.

Thanks for you comment. I have already installed more then two different templates all distributed by MKS company. I also tried to structure a word document as described in Integrations Builder Guide as well as in MSWordIntegrationUserGuide. Unfortunately the result differed from what is promised in these manuals. It looks like the documentation is incomplete.
The easiest way would be to provide an example MSword-doc or docx file that works with the mentioned DSD, so I can learn the required word structure from this example file. The info about existing DSDs really doesn't help me, I tried these DSDs before and didn't get a satisfying result using the documentation that is present for these DSDs and the word integration.

Hello Alice,

In what context are you looking for information about outlining?

Current versions of Integrity use the Gateway interface rather than the older MS Word Integration, so your question may not be relevant to this topic. If you are using the Gateway interface instead of the MS Word Integration with Integrity, please feel free to elaborate in a new post.

Regards,
Kael

andreas, If you contact support they can walk you through how to get this running. You have to customize the template, but it isn't very intuitive. The documentation leaves a lot out of what you need to do... I was able to get the integration to work once I got Support involved.. They were very good at explaining what had to happen and all that...

Hello Jayaram,

It is usually recommended that you use the same version as the server that you are on.  Your system administrator should be able to supply you with the version of Integrity client which matches up to your Integrity server.

Having said that, there are a number of possibilities which could explain this.  Please call Integrity Technical Support if you require further help with this issue.

Traceability between PTC Integrity and Enterprise Architect

Hi,

 

we want to create a connection between Integrity Items from PTC and packages/ elements from Enterprise Architect. Both tools have IDs with which they can be identified clearly. In the forum I read that there are several possibilities to get data out of PTC Integrity such as using command line scripting, running reports, using gateways, web services, API or trigger scripts.

 

My question is, which of these possibilities would you suggest when you want to connect one integrity item with one or more Enterprise Architect package/s or element/ s. Is there a way using a standard feature of PTC Integrity which helps the developer to get that task done with less changes in Integrity or do you suggest a self-made program which writes in each tool the specific ID/s from the opponent's tool to help the user for example to find the suitable UML diagram in the Enterprise Architect for an already open requirement integrity item of PTC Integrity faster?

 

 

Thanking you in anticipation.

Gateway: How to generate a pure IIF file from document

Hi all,

 

we have used the Requirement Solution for some years now (stated with the 2007 solution) and recently updated to I10.2.

 

For a maintenace project I am now asked to Re-Import an updated Word-Document into a 3 year old Integrity Document that was originally imported with the 2007 Solution.

The Document does not include an attached "source-document.iif" file as this "process" was invented later.

Does anyone know a way to easily generate the a IIF file of the current doument content which I would attach manually afterward; so the re-import would have something to match against.

I assume that the file is generated  temporarily during a gateway export process anyway.

 

Or do I have to create my own XML-report template

 

THX in advance

Notification on newly created item based on the recipient being in a FVA

I need to send a notification when an item is created against a specific project. the recipient of the email should be the Project Manager of that project and I am using a FVA field to copy the project manager into the newly created item.

 

I then created a trigger to fire on newly created items and added the advancedemail.js assigning the FVA field to the recipient.

 

I have tried both a Pre and Post trigger but what seems to happen is the FVA field is not populated until after the trigger has fired therefore sending no email.

 

Surely the Post event trigger should send the email to the user in the FVA field as suggested.

 

What am I doing wrong or does anyone have an alternative.

MKS Source changes binary files automatically, how to prevent this? (migrated thread) Posted: Dec 8, 2011 7:54 AM

   andreas.ulbricht2    Posts: 47   Registered: Nov, 2007

We made the experience that MKS Source changes content of binary files, probably since we have upgraded to MKS2009 version. The change of the regarded binary files seems to be triggered by the archive type of these files, which is set automatically to text by the MKS source system. The workaround provided by MKS to prevent change of (binary) files after standard check in and check out actions consists of inclusion of the type of file characterized by the file extension into a policy. This is absolutely not practicable for us, as we cannot check any file by extension whether it is changed by the MKS system or not and include it in a policy. Furthermore the described behaviour is absolutely not what we expect from a version control system. We expect from a version control system that whatever file is put under version control, this file is NEVER changed automatically or non-transparently by the system. Does anyone know a method how we can prevent generally the automated change of whatever files by the MKS Source system ?
Please be aware that the same can happen or happens on your MKS source system without that you notice it.

Hello Kael,

after several attempts to contact our key account for this subject, yesterday we had a TelCo with a senior supporter. After this conference our impression is that the problem is understood at MKS. A workaround that represents a solution for us could not be provided and in our understanding will not be provided until the RFC is implemented according to what we have understood in that TelCo. If an RFC is to be implemented and when this will happen is completely open. Anyway I do not understand why our key account or a substitute of him does not reply for two weeks when we have a major problem caused by MKS Source that endangers the delivery of our products.
The addressed topic is crucial for us. If the problem cannot be solved, MKS Source might be useless as version management tool in our company.
As support cannot provide a solution, any solution found by other users might be very helpful for us that's one reason why I post additionally here.
I assume that the problem we have detected casually might be as crucial for a whole lot of other MKS customers as it is for us. But the other customers probably do not know about this problems, because they still do not have detected it. That`s another reason why I post here.

Cheers !

The initial description of the problem is not correct. The behavior is the same since a couple of releases.
Binary Archive Files get's never changed by us. The Line Terminator get's changed for text archives depending on the policy which is set globaly / per project or per sandbox or defined for a specific type (f.e *.bin) or by a trigger.
To prevent this the Users should be trained to check in Binary Files (f.e *.bin's) as binary archive and not as text archives. To prevent this there is a trigger which checks the extensions and could give a message that this archive which is going to be created by the user should be a binary archive instead of a text archive.
In addition there is the possibility to update/change the archive from text to binary (on db-backend) to prevent this behavior with the line terminators.

The algorithm checks every newly created archive as this is a text or a binary archive. It is not possible (never) to cover all files that this algorithm works as - depending on the customer- expected.

There are a couple of possibilitys to prevent this behavior which is known since a long long time.

We are currently working with you on a possible resolution for this behavior

Hi Andreas,

we have the same issue with source files (ASCII) which we secure before check-in using file checksums. I agree that non-transparent changes of files should at least be made optional using appropriate server settings. This issue is considered critical for us as well.

We started computing the checksums anew on check-out in our test automation. Files where the checksum differs from the stored value are reported as we need to make sure that changes are solely based on this whitespace issue and not due to other file manipulation.

We strongly urge MKS to resolve this issue by at least making it optional using an appropriate server setting.

If you don't want files to be modified by MKS, why not always check them in as binary files? This can be configured through a policy
si.AddMembers.dataFormat=binary

To make diffs and merges, use an external like BeyondCompare or WinMerge.

Keyword expansion is not possible with binary files, but that would be a modification of the file again, so I expect you want to avoid that anyway.

Hi All,

 

We are trying to create a field using the command line function im createfield with a computed expression.

My command line failed with the message "error creating field parent or child: syntax error"

could you please tell me what's wrong with my following code :

 

im createfield --user=administrator --hostname=win-h9j0fcrdcqu --port=7001 --type=shorttext --computation='((aggregate("Forward Relationships",count() ) ) > 0) ? text("parent") : (((aggregate("Backward Relationships",count()) ) > 0) ? text("child") : text("orphan"))' --name='parent or child'

 

for your information,

going through the Integrity client admin GUI, I can create the "parent or child" field with the computation value : "((aggregate("Forward Relationships",count() ) ) > 0) ? text("parent") : (((aggregate("Backward Relationships",count()) ) > 0) ? text("child") : text("orphan"))"

 

Did I miss something?

 

Thanks a lot in advance for your help,

Calling getItemsByNamedQuery in Webservice

Hi all,

I'm trying to execute a query via the webservice. I can excute the query using the client, it is visible and owned by my user and contains only one column ID.

I transfer the following SOAP using HTTP-post:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope

  xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

  SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

  <SOAP-ENV:Body>

    <m:getItemsByNamedQuery xmlns:m="http://webservice.mks.com/2009/Integrity">

    <arg0>

      <Username>myuser</Username>

      <Password>password</Password>

      <InputField>ID</InputField>

      <QueryName>testq</QueryName>

     </arg0>

    </m:getItemsByNamedQuery>

  </SOAP-ENV:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

 

The answer of the server is a fault-message:

 

<env:Envelope xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><env:Header></env:Header>

<env:Body>

<env:Fault xmlns:env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'>

<faultcode>env:Server</faultcode>

<faultstring>Unable to retrieve items via query &quot;null&quot;.

</faultstring>

<detail>

<ns1:MKSException class='java.lang.NullPointerException' implication='Unable to retrieve items via query &quot;null&quot;.' xmlns:ns1='http://webservice.mks.com/2009/Integrity/fault'/>

</detail>

</env:Fault>

</env:Body>

</env:Envelope>

 

It seems that the server does not recognize my QueryName-tag. Do you have an idea? Is the request SOAP-message correct, or did I miss something there?

Any help would be highly appreciated,

kind regards

Matthias
