how to create a PPM request from Service Manager

[eata]

Hi;

I want to create a request automaticly from Service manager.

In service manager a group leader will tick a check box and press create request button.

Than request will be created directly.

There is a webservice in ppm called demandservice webservice. There is a create request attribute in the webservice. Can I send values from SM to that web service ?

I asked the same question in PPM forum. But they proposed using ALM. We are using QC 9,52. We are not using ALM yet.

Please have a look at SM webservices Tailoring Guide(Chapter 5-Consume an external webservice). This will give you a clear idea of how to consume an external webservice like PPM Webservice from SM.

Here is webservice code:

using

System;

using

System.Collections.Generic;

using

System.Text;

using

DemandServiceTest.localhostDemandService;

using

Microsoft.Web.Services3;

using

Microsoft.Web.Services3.Design;

using

Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security;

using

Microsoft.Web.Services3.Security.Tokens;

//using Office = Microsoft.Office.Core;

using

Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;

namespace

DemandServiceTest

{

classProgram

{

staticDemandServiceWseserviceProxy;

staticvoid Main(string[] args)

{

// create service proxy

serviceProxy =

newDemandServiceWse();

UsernameOverTransportAssertion policyAssertion = newUsernameOverTransportAssertion();

Console.WriteLine("done");

Console.Write("\nSetting authentication policies...");

// setup WS-Security credentials

policyAssertion.UsernameTokenProvider =

newUsernameTokenProvider("admin", "-----");

Policy policy = newPolicy(policyAssertion);

serviceProxy.SetPolicy(policy);

Console.WriteLine("done");

//TestDemandService();//DeleteRequests("38400");inti = 1;

staticvoidTestDemandService()

Console.WriteLine("\nTests completed. Press any key to exit.");

Console.ReadKey();

}

staticvoidTestDemandService()

{

Console.WriteLine("\nStarting Demand Service tests...");

//Test Create RequestStringrequestID = CreateRequest();

//Test Get Request

GetRequests(requestID);

//Test Update Fields

SetRequestFields(requestID);

//Test Delete Requests

DeleteRequests(requestID);

Console.WriteLine("\nDemand Service tests complete.");

}

staticstringCreateRequest()

{

Console.WriteLine("\nIn CreateRequest");

//Convert request bean to the client stubRequest request = newRequest();

request.requestType =

"Bug";

//Set Required FieldsSimpleField[] fields = newSimpleField[6];

//Description

fields[0] =

newSimpleField();

fields[0].token =

"REQ.DESCRIPTION";

fields[0].stringValue =

newString[] { "WebService Test"};

//Department

fields[1] =

newSimpleField();

fields[1].token =

"REQ.DEPARTMENT_NAME";

fields[1].stringValue =

newString[] { "Finance"};

//Module

fields[2] =

newSimpleField();

fields[2].token =

"REQD.VP.MODULE";

fields[2].stringValue =

newString[] { "Module A"};

//Platform

fields[3] =

newSimpleField();

fields[3].token =

"REQD.VP.PLATFORM";

fields[3].stringValue =

newString[] { "Unix"};

//Impact

fields[4] =

newSimpleField();

fields[4].token =

"REQD.VP.IMPACT";

fields[4].stringValue =

newString[] { "Warning"};

//Reproducible

fields[5] =

newSimpleField();

fields[5].token =

"REQD.VP.REPRO";

fields[5].stringValue =

newString[] { "Y"};

//Add fields to request

request.simpleFields = fields;

//Set NotesNote[] notes = newNote[1];

notes[0] =

newNote();

notes[0].author =

"admin";

notes[0].content =

"WebService Test Note";

notes[0].creationDate =

DateTime.Now;

notes[0].creationDateSpecified =

true;

//Add notes to request

request.notes = notes;

//Call WebservicecreateRequest cr = newcreateRequest();

cr.requestObj = request;

createRequestResponseresponse = serviceProxy.createRequest(cr);

Console.WriteLine("createRequest Succeeded");

Console.WriteLine("Request: " + response.@return.identifier.id + " Status: "+ response.@return.status);

returnresponse.@return.identifier.id;

}

}
