At least choose either-or between template and copied_from

@Narendra0908 Please try to set either template or copied_from, just as below showing.

a=myclient.createWorkitem(item_type='Task',
  title='test1',
  description=None,
  projectarea_id=None,
  projectarea_name="[PROD]eRPO_Base_MBSE_PATAC_RTC",
  template=None,
  copied_from="144265",
  keep=False)

yeh will check and let u know. What is this copied_from? As per my understanding this copied_from parameter stores a woritem id like a parent work item id where the information(like estimate,ownedBy,etc) for the new task is taken from that mention parent work item id. But my doubt is in order to create a new task with new information why do we need that copied_from or template

I used the code snippet as shown but i am getting the following error: Error creating work item: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://rb-alm-07-p.de.bosch.com/ccm/oslc/contexts/_1XITP6x9EeSLgc_fYa7XpA/workitems/task
@dixudx Can we create a new work item without specifying the template or copied_from ??

but i am getting the following error: Error creating work item: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: https://rb-alm-07-p.de.bosch.com/ccm/oslc/contexts/_1XITP6x9EeSLgc_fYa7XpA/workitems/task

This may be another issue, such as authentication error,etc.

Can we create a new work item without specifying the template or copied_from ??

This is doable if we make private function _createWorkitem as public one. But I'd still suggest using current friendly usage, which helps compose complex raw payload.

Any rest APIs for creating, deleting and updating work item in ALM using python?

Any rest APIs for creating, deleting and updating work item in ALM using python?

@Narendra0908 The requesting urls are not REST style.

The url for workitem creating is

rtcclient/rtcclient/client.py

Line 1252 in 8d14948

workitem_url = "/".join([self.url, "oslc/workitems/%s" % workitem_id])

In current rtcclient, I did not add methods to delete and update workitems. Maybe you can help find ways and urls to solve these.

where is the main function to run the client.py script like how to run that script

[dixudx]

In rtcclient/client.py, public functioncreateWorkitem will call private function _createWorkitem, where the final request is composed and sent out.

where is the main function to run the client.py script like how to run that script

client.py is packaged into a python library. Please follow the quick start guide. Thanks.

myclient.createWorkitem("issue", "demo title", description=None, projectarea_id="a-projectarea-id", template=None, copied_from="123456", keep=False)

P.S. You can find the function references with an IDE. Thanks.

how to solve the below error: ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=9443): Max retries exceeded with url: /jazz/rootservices/authenticated/identity (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000002343A6296A0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it'))

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

From the error message, it seems the server is not running properly. That's why the rtcclient failed to establish a new connection.
