I am attempting to retrieve all work items currently or previously associated with a given Iteration from Azure DevOps, either through an in-system query or through the API. I need this information to calculate sprint predictability metrics.
As far as I can tell, ADO only stores the latest Iteration in the work items fields, so the API call to ask for tickets associated with a Past iteration does not include any tickets that may have been moved to a different iteration mid-sprint. Likewise, they query options do not allow for something like a "was" operator to test for work items with may have met the criteria in the past.
Short of pulling each work item history individually through the API and creating my own iteration timeline for all tickets in the system, how can I get this information?
Take a look at this. You have to use the "was ever" operator in the iteration path. To do so, you have to query for it using the WIQL-Syntax.
So you'll have to add
...
AND (
EVER (
[System.IterationPath] = #currentIteration('[YourTeam]\... <id:...>'))
to the WHERE part of the query.

Hello,
I am trying to write an SQL query to list all tags along with the number of how many times they were used in Work Items in TFS2015.
I cannot find the connection between tbl_WorkItemCoreLatest, tbl_PropertyDefinition and tbl_TagDefinition that would point me to tags used on work items.
I tried to go with the solution from here, but with no success. The query results seems not to match what I see directly in VSTS (eg. searching for a particular tag returns me work items from which some don't have that particular tag, almost as if TFS would store previous states of work items...?)
If there's a way to do that with REST API, that will work as well.
Any help will be much appreciated.
You can use TFS REST API below to get all work items with System.Tags field, then calculate how many times they were used：
`http://tfs2015:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/teamproject/_apis/wit/reporting/workitemrevisions?fields=System.Tags&includeLatestOnly=true&api-version=2`
Another simple way is creating a work item query with Tags column and open this query in Excel to filter the Tags column.
For Active Collab team watching this tag.
I am working on a project that uses new Active Collab 5 API, I am having performance issue trying to run reports.
Example I try to build reports on date-range, and currently to achieve that I need to first run a call to get all projects.
Followed by a loop with this call:
API::get('/projects/'.$id.'/time-records/filtered-by-date?' . http_build_query(['from' => $from, 'to' => $to]))
However we have a large number of projects, in addition to high number of active projects we also need to filter Archived projects as well to get correct reports for billing.
Now I work with around 1500 projects in AC.
So I need to make 1500 API calls which takes a huge performance hit. Is there a way that you can possibly build something that would work along these lines.
API::get(/timerecords/filter-by-date);
with a possible passed parameter that will say (all, active, complited) project state.
Please let me know what you can do or if I have missed something in your documentation that already does this.
Thanks
What you need here is not a request that goes through all projects one by one, but a request that it tailored for cross-project reporting. Active Collab 5 has just the right API endpoint for that - /reports/run.
As an example, you can use this command to query time records and expenses from all active projects that were tracked today:
curl -H "X-Angie-AuthApiToken: YOUR-API-TOKEN" "http://your.activecollab.com/api/v1/reports/run?type=TrackingFilter&project_filter=active&tracked_on_filter=today"
Notice the route (/reports/run) and query arguments:
type - specify type of the report, in this case time and expense tracking report,
project_filter - specify project filter. Apart from active, other useful values of this filter are completed (for completed projects), selected_1,2,3,4 (selected projects with a list of project ID-s), client_1,2,3,4 (projects for clients with the given ID-s), category_1,2,3,4 (projects in categories with the given ID-s),
tracked_on_filter - filter by the date when records were tracked. To target a particular date use selected_date_YYYY-MM-DD and to target a date range use selected_range_YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD.
tracked_by_filter - filter by who tracked the time. It can have various values, like anybody, logged_user, selected_1,2,3.
To list only time records, set type_filter to time (or to expenses if you want only expenses to be listed).
it might be possible I'm searching for the wrong keywords, but so far I couldn't find anything useful.
My problem is quite simple: At the moment I get a list of individual Ids through a report parameter, I pass them to a procedure and show the results.
The new request is like this: Instead of showing the list for all individuals at once, there should be a list for each individual id.
Since I'm quite a beginner in srss, I thought the easiest approach would be the best: Create a subreport, copy the shown list, and create a subreport per individual id.
The amount of this IDs is dynamic, so I have to create a dynamic amount of subreports.
Funny enought, this doesnt seem to be possible. This http://forums.asp.net/t/1397645.aspx url doesnt show exactly the problem, but it shows the limit of the subreports.
I even ran trough the whole msdn pages starting http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220581.aspx but I couldnt find anything there.
So is there a possibility, to create a loop like:
For each Individual ID in Individual IDs, create a subreport and pass ONE ID to this?
Or is there another approach I should use to make this work?
I tried to create a 'Fake'-Dataset with no sql query but just for iterating the id list, but it seems the dataset needs a data-source...
As usual, thanks so far for all answers!

You didn't provide much detail about what sort of information needs to be included in the subreport, but assuming it's a small amount of data (say, showing a personnel record), and not a huge amount (such as a persons sales for the last year), a List might be the way to go.

All datasets require a data source, though if you're merely hard-coding some fake return data, any data source will do, even a local SQL instance with nothing in it.
I would like to join the user object and project permission object to see how many users have been assigned to a project, for audit purpose. I don't see a common field with common values (email address or first name/last name) between these objects. I used Excel plugin to retrieve two separate data sheet and unable to map them. Any thoughts on this on how to do this?
You're probably seeing something similar to the following when you query on ProjectPermissions:
In this situation, the default User object selected from the "Columns" picker in the query dialog, gives you the User's DisplayName, which doesn't unambiguously map to a Rally UserID.
Note, however, that you can add dot-notation sub-fields of Objects manually by typing them into the Columns field. In the following example, I've included User.Username and User.LastLoginDate as additional fields I want to show on the Permissions report:
Of course, you could also just include User.Username, and run a second query on the User object with all fields selected, and do a join in Excel.
One note of caution - if you have many users (say 1,000), and a lot of projects, (say 1,000, which is not uncommon in large Rally subscriptions), querying directly against the ProjectPermissions endpoint can rapidly result in total results that number on the order of 10^6. This will probably time out in an Excel query.
The Rally User Management: User Permissions Summary script works around this by querying Permissions in a loop on a user-by-user basis. It's slow, but it returns results without timeouts. Certainly not as convenient as Excel either - you need to install Ruby 1.9.2+ and the rally_api gem to get it working.
Is it possible to do object counts on the server side of Rally with the WSAPI?
For example, I've got an app that would like to count the number of unresolved defects for each project in our workspace. I don't need to know anything about those defects themselves, so I just want a count, and don't need any other data pulled back.
Any way to do this?

Rally: Pull stories counts by schedule state for a release?
The analog for Defects would be:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.31/defect.js?query=(State < "Fixed")
It does pull all the data, but you can grab the TotalResultCount attribute that is returned in the response to get the number of Defects matching your query.
