How can a single requirement be retrieved using the VB.Net SDK?
The sample VB.net code below uses a new techique to obtain a single requirement object using the SDK. This technique can be employed to prevent Java Heap memory issues when retrieving requirements from large CaliberRM databases. The code uses the new method "AllProjectIDs", details of this can be found in the following solution
How can a single project be retrieved using the VB.Net SDK?
The new SDK has a new method called "getRequirements", this method returns a CaliberRM collection of CaliberRM requirement object which then can be used to obtain a single requirement. The method syntax is as follows
Public Function getRequirements(projectID as CaliberRM.ProjectID, baseLineID as CaliberRM.BaselineID, requirementIDs as CaliberRM.Collection)
Sample VB.net Code
Dim collectionfactory As CaliberRM.CollectionFactory Dim myreqcollection As CaliberRM.Collection Dim req As CaliberRM.Requirement Dim serialnumber as Integer
"obtain project my_project = my_session.getProject(allprojids(0))
"Obtain current baseline ID BID = my_project.CurrentBaseline.BaselineID
"Create a collection for the requirement serial number collectionfactory = New CaliberRM.CollectionFactory mycollection = collectionfactory.Create()
"add serial number to collection mycollection.Add(serialnumber)
"Create collection to hold requirements Dim myreqcollection As CaliberRM.Collection myreqcollection = collectionfactory.Create()
"technique to obtain requirement object For r = 0 To mycollection.Count - 1 myreqcollection = my_session.getRequirements(allprojids(0), BID, mycollection)
req = myreqcollection.Item(0) Debug.Print(req.Name)
