how to relate(relation) automate run test with defect using REST API

[ad1lla]

i want to link the automated run failed with new defect using REST API. Is there any API for relation?

I found below API.

https://octane.abc.com/api/shared_spaces/<space-id>/workspaces/<workspace-id>/defects

https://octane.abc.com/api/shared_spaces/<space-id>/workspaces/<workspace-id>/tests

Attached: In ALM Octane > Defect > Relation - show automated run link with defect.

Hi Adilla,

I assume you can use the entity run_automated and set the field defect to link the specific run to an existing defect. Actually I didn't try this specific relation but I've linked e.g. requirements to tests and defects in the GDPR Content Pack. You can download it at https://marketplace.microfocus.com/appdelivery/content/gdpr-content-pack and review the code at module modOctane / sub subOCTCreateRelation.

The Content Pack also has a quite useful feature for developers using the Octane REST API: You can easily pull all Octane entities and their fields from your Octane environment (the REST API is enhanced in every new version). For example run_automated on my Octane environment has 78 (!) fields, this screenshot shows only a few of them:

Fields of Octane entity run_automated

 Hope this helps?

On defect you have `run` field.
When creating new defect you can set this field to reference the run for which you are creating the defect, or alternativelly update existing defect to reference the run.

thank you All for reply my question.

I already get answer from here and the rest API required is below:

https://octane.abc.com/api/shared_spaces/<space-id>/workspaces/<workspace-id>/work_items?reference_update_mode=append

body content - contain run id(39056) & defect id(43001) :

{"data":[{"run":{"data":[{"type":"run","id":"39056"}]},"id":"43001"}]}

if get error 405 - Method Not Allowed, please insert below variable & values in header content:

• variable: HPECLIENTTYPE
• value: HPE_REST_API_TECH_PREVIEW
