Perforce Defect Tracking Integration


P4DTI issue job000006

Title: TeamShare API error reporting is inadequate
Status: closed
Priority: essential
Assigned user: gdr
Product: p4dti
Organization: TeamShare
Description: When TeamTrack refuses to update or transition an issue because a user doesn't have the privilege to do so, it raises an error but provides only an empty error message. The replicator can't provide any information to the user to explain why the operation failed.
Analysis: It is essential that this defect is fixed, otherwise it will be very hard to make the integration reliable.
There are other problems with error reporting in the TeamShare API; see "TeamShare API comments".

Fixes

Change Effect Date User Description
7949 closed 2001-02-01 22:13:23 gdr Updated the TeamTrack integration so that it works with (and requires) TeamTrack build 4407. This involved the following changes:
1. Use the new TeamTrack API, as of 2001-01-15.
2. Edited TSServer::ValidateVersion() so that it doesn't hang when connecting. See job000190.
3. Increased the supported_dbver parameter to 27, to match TeamTrack 4407.
4. Updated the Administrator's Guide so that it requires 4407.
