How to get TestSteps from libraries

[Ben2]

Hi,

I use the SCTM WebServies to get all TestSteps from a testdefinition in my JUnit-Test, which works well.

try
            {
                PlanningService plan = new PlanningServiceServiceLocator().gettmplanning(new URL("http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx:19120/Services1.0/services/tmplanning?wsdl"));
                ManualTestStep[] testschritte = plan.getManualTestSteps(sessionID, Integer.parseInt(testdefinitionID));
                for (int i = 0; i
                {...



If I try the same for libraries to get all TestSteps from it, I get an error.

Is this not supported?
Or is there another WebService for libraries? I can´t find one.


Thanks

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your question, I would suggest that you log an official support incident for this so that it can be properly investigated and tracked. You can do this here.

Thanks

All,

As an update to this, the functionality has been implemented from SCTM 2010 onwards, although it does not yet appear in the documentation.

The call "exportLibraryStructure" takes the same parameters as "exportLibraryStructureWithoutSteps" and this will export the complete library structure including step details.

For full details, search the help for "exportLibraryStructureWithoutSteps", and the parameters are listed here. The interface URL will be identical except for the "withoutsteps" section, in other words it would be:

/servicesExchange?hid=exportLibraryStructure rather than /servicesExchange?hid=exportLibraryStructure rather than

/servicesExchange?hid=exportLibraryStructure rather than /servicesExchange?hid=exportLibraryStructureWithoutSteps

Regards,
Lesley
