Developing Mashups Best Practices (2 Comments)

Fri, 03 Sep 2010 23:35:51 +0000

Question by [Product] Stephen

I'm working on a custom mashup right now but I'm having a really hard time figuring out what's breaking. Do you have any recommendations on how I can better debug? Currently I'm coding in the "Custom Tab" window and just reloading the mashup in Rally to see changes. Thanks.

Usage of xsi:type?

Sun, 05 Sep 2010 16:18:03 +0000

Question by Dave Shawley

Summary

Is there any way to get the objects in a QueryResult to include a xsi:type attribute as well as the existing type attribute?

Full Description

I am working on a number of Java applications that use the RESTful API. I am using JAXB to process the responses. The problem is that the response objects are sliced into DomainObjectType instances regardless of whether you have elected to include all details using the "fetch=true" option. There does not seem to be any way of actually using the full results that are returned to you. However, if the XML elements state their true type by including an xsi:type attribute, then JAXB will create objects of the derived type.

When I issue a query that returns a set of HierarchicalRequirementType and DefectType instances, I have to issue an additional fetch for each one unless JAXB has enough information to identify the type. The current type attribute is close, but the value has to refer to a complexType in the schema. I mocked up a response including both attributes and it works like a dream. Has anyone else run into this?

iteration burndown (4 Comments)

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 11:27:07 +0000

Question by Anil Sharma (BL : 30612)

It's noticed that average burndown per day, which is used to draw ideal burndown, always consider 1 day less of total iteration.

For example, if total Task Est for an iteration of 20 days is 1000 person days, the average burndown per day is calculated as 1000/19 instead of 1000/20. Why?

Question by Allison Miller

I was reviewing Rally Community Edition and showed it to my PM. The only question she had for me was how secure our data would be using a tool like this online. Can anyone answer that for me? Thanks!

Can you retrieving attachments without downloading one at a time through UI (3 Comments)

Mon, 30 Aug 2010 14:52:44 +0000

Question by Hunt Sparra

Summary

Is it possible to download attachments without using the UI so I can retrieve attached documents in mass?

Full Description

I see that they are available via the API but it looks like the document is part of the returned xml. I have not tested much, but is the <content> tags content just the binary data from the uploaded file so that if it is saved then you should be able to open it with the creating app (ex. MS Word)? Alternately, is there some way in the UI to select a number of attachments to be downloaded.

Notifications for new defects (1 Comment)

Wed, 01 Sep 2010 15:56:47 +0000

Question by Trent8745

Summary

I would like an email sent out to a mail list when a new defect is created.

Full Description

I can see how I can set up a notification to be sent to me when one of my defects are changed. But I don't see how I can have an email sent to a group when a new defect is created.

Why are unaccepted user stories that have been assigned to a release NOT in the backlog? (3 Comments)

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:32:21 +0000

Question by lsi

I understand that once a story gets assigned to an iteration, it is removed from the backlog, as it becomes committed at this point. But if it's just assigned to a release, why is it removed? This makes planning very difficult.

Also, why can I pull in the release column in the backlog tab but nothing appears when I choose the release I'm interested in? It only allows for unscheduled entries.

Has anyone else managed a way to view a release backlog through the Plan>Backlog tab?

Thanks!

How come some tasks don't let you enter actuals and other's do (5 Comments)

Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:14:23 +0000

Question by Nicole Martini

In some of my projects I am allowed to entered actual in the tasks, but in other projects I do not. Is there a defaults that I can override and if so where it is. I also use the time sheet (time tracking function as well) but many of my developers like entering their actuals on the task when they close it with notes and I just not sure why it isn't in all the projects the same.
