QMS API to create task

[#1]

Hello Experts,

I am trying to create a task using QMS API. I am successful in creating the task but I am not able to set the properties of task like -

1. Task document information

2. Task Triggers

I am using the following code -

                documentTask.General = new DocumentTask.TaskGeneral();

                documentTask.General.Enabled = true;

                documentTask.General.TaskName = "Task123";

                documentTask.General.TaskDescription = "Creating a task via QMS API";

                documentTask.DocumentInfo = new DocumentTask.TaskDocumentInfo();

                documentTask.DocumentInfo.Category = "Parallel_Test";

                documentTask.DocumentInfo.Description = "Task created using QMS API";

                Guid triggerID = new Guid("e95ecd5a-683d-1d33-26bf-66e94ff08223");

                Trigger t = new Trigger();

                List<Trigger> List_Trigger = new List<Trigger>();

                t.Type = TaskTriggerType.OnceTrigger;

                t.Enabled = true;

                t.ID = triggerID;

                List_Trigger.Add(t);

                documentTask.Triggering = new DocumentTask.TaskTriggering();

                documentTask.Triggering.Triggers = List_Trigger;

                documentTask.Scope = DocumentTaskScope.General;

                apiClient.SaveDocumentTask(documentTask);

After executing this code, I am able to see the Task123 in QEMC, but it has no triggers and no document information.

Has anyone faced this issue ? Please tell me if I am missing something in this code. 

Thanks,

Samir Prasadi

Setting up the triggers correctly is a bit tricky. Different trigger types expect different properties to be set.

I see you haven't specified when the trigger should execute for instance.

Here is an example of a recurring trigger:

if (task.Triggering.Triggers == null)

            {

                task.Triggering.Triggers = new List<Trigger>(1);

            }

            var trigger = new RecurrenceTrigger { Enabled = true, ID = Guid.NewGuid()};

trigger.Type = TaskTriggerType.HourlyTrigger;

                    trigger.Hourly = new RecurrenceTrigger.RecurrenceTriggerHourly

                                         {

                                             // RecurEvery is minutes when taskTriggerType is hourly...

                                             RecurEvery = repeatEvery.Interval * 60,

                                             DayOfWeekConstraints = new List<DayOfWeek>

                                                                        {

                                                                            DayOfWeek.Monday,

                                                                            DayOfWeek.Tuesday,

                                                                            DayOfWeek.Wednesday,

                                                                            DayOfWeek.Thursday,

                                                                            DayOfWeek.Friday,

                                                                            DayOfWeek.Saturday,

                                                                            DayOfWeek.Sunday

                                                                        }

                                         };

task.Triggering.Triggers.Add(trigger);

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I forgot to update this thread, I was able to set the required properties of task by setting the scope property.

Glad to hear it.

You should mark the thread as answered, so it might help others.
