Modifying a record

This tutorial module illustrates how to use the Rational® ClearQuest® CM API to modify a record in a user database.
After you have identified an available user database and are logged in to it, you can use the Rational ClearQuest CM API to access resources, such as a record in a user database. This module provides an example for retrieving and then modifying a record. The code example in this module extends the previous example (viewing a record) by setting new values in a proxy and then using the doWriteProperties method to make the changes to the record in the database.

Learning objectives

After completing the lessons in this module you will accomplish these objectives:
  • Learn about the Rational ClearQuest CM API object and programming models for making changes to Rational ClearQuest records and field values
  • Understand the Rational ClearQuest CM API interfaces for making changes to a record and its field values
  • Learn about using doWriteProperties for making changes to the resource in the product repository
  • Understand how to write client application code for editing records

Time required

This module should take approximately 40 minutes to complete.

Prerequisites

To complete this module, you should first complete the previous module, where you learned how to view a CqRecord and use the PropertyRequest object for requesting property values of the record.
