Time tracking

[Mayer, Jonathan]

Hiya Ath et al,

 

I was wondering whether there is any scope for extending this webservice to include getting and setting of time tracking estimates? It would be great if I could call a method and have it return the current (or original) estimate, and be able to update an issue by supplying a string in the same form as in Jira (ie “2d 4h”).

 

At the moment I can grab the information required from the database directly but it’s a more difficult (and dangerous) process to write back, so a SOAP interface would be ideal.

 

Any mileage in the idea?

 

Cheers!

Jon.

Well,

Closest to this would be getting WorkLogs, I presume.
I've been working on a project in VB.NET (work assignment, not my
idea) to get all worklogs for a specific day, but that's failing
because the WorkLog returned from the SOAP service are converted into
rubbish (crashing) when .NET tries to decode it. This seems to be an
error in the AXIS/WCF process, I can't get that to work correctly, and
there's no patch (yet) available.
I'm no expert in the internals of Jira, but it would surely be my last
choice to grab data directly from the database, the table structure is
candidate for change in any next release. I've had enough trouble with
that, just with adding a specific trigger in the notification system,
even without directly accessing the DB :(

If you have code to get at this info, I could add it to the Extended
Soap service, after some testing ofcourse.

Thanks Ath,

For now I'm just getting along with grabbing the info from the database (it's stored in seconds so it's quite easy to work with) and not doing any editing. Seems a shame that this isn't built into the native SOAP service but I'll explore the workaround options :)

Take care,
Jon.

Well,
