My requirement is to split a user story based on a fixed plan (move incomplete and let the user reset the points after).
I've looked through the docs and can't find any reference to this as a function I can call.
My question?
Is there a function that I can pass an array of options to for this to be done?
Or
Do I have to move the story to the new iteration, create a new story in the old iteration, assign the completed tasks to the new story?
There's no one-step endpoint to do this. You'll have to just do the handful of things like you mentioned toward the end of your question.

I try to understand the logic behind the weather bot in the wit.ai quick-start.The story is build with a trait intent (supposed to be something like "what is the weather ?") and an entity is declared to get where the weather is wondered. So, I would think this story is only triggered when weather is asked AND location is given.
This is not the case since the illustration of jump / bookmarks just below this first step deals with unset location.
Hence my question : how does Wit.ai decide which story to trigger ?
Actually, there is no difference between :
What is the weather in Barcelona ? and What is the weather ?
from a decision regarding the next action to choose from the Wit engine standpoint.
Previous contexts and current context (and contained key) are what matters for this task.
As the quick-start puts it:
Only trait entities have their value influence the prediction. For
non-trait entities, the value is ignored with regards to action
prediction.
My advice on this is to create a flushContext action which returns an empty context and to trigger it everytime a give story comes to an end.
I am trying to get the data to create the burned down chart from version one.
I came to know there is no standard api's for that.
Here i found that by making multiple call's to fetch todo value for a scope of timebox it is possible.
Is there any better way to do it?
and also let me know any good open source libraries(javascrpt/java) to plot such graph
i tried the way shown here but i am not able to make out what value i am getting.
i tried a get request like
"base URL"/rest-1.v1/Data/Timebox?where=State.Code='ACTV'&asof"11-25-2015"&sel=Name,EndDate,State,Workitems.ToDo.#Sum
but could only get present value but not the past ones.
Thanks in advance
You are using the rest-1.v1/Data endpoint. From this endpoint you will get the current state of assets in your VersionOne instance however, there is an attribute "Prior" which contains the previous state of a VersionOne asset (Timebox). The most robust way to access historical data is though the rest-1.v1/Hist endpoint. You can find details about Hist queries here.
Using your query
"base URL"/rest-1.v1/Hist/Timebox?where=State.Code='ACTV'&asof"2015-11-25T17:30:00.00"&sel=Name,EndDate,State,Workitems.ToDo.#Sum
The asof keyword will return the state of that Timebox at that instance in time. Observe the proper format of the date.
I know this has been asked several times may be, but most (if not all) solutions I've seen were involving a javascript solution or disabling form/submit button, which I'm not preferring.
I have couple of huge forms that may take some time to complete submission which may let the user to re-submit many times during the first submission, which eventually will cause for many records in the database.
Proposed solution:
A proposed solution is to have a generic method that have an array including all submitted forms IDs, each time a user submit a form, it's ID will be added to that array if it's not already existed, after the submit complete the ID will be popped out the array. A drawback can be counted on this solution in case a user opened two or more pages of the same form and submit them synchronously, but that can be worried about later.
My question is how feasible is my proposed solution and how good it can be? and how can I implement that generic method?
I understand that Apache Struts 2 framework has some solution to prevent such thing (Token Interceptor), how to do that in MVC 4?:
Just add a GUID field to the ViewModel the view is bound to (You are using ViewModels right?) and every time the empty form is asked for, generate a new GUID (solves the issue of downloading two or more copies by same user) for it and have it included in the view as a hidden field (string representation of it). Then you can implement the array solution you are talking about in a session variable or even a database based solution in which all processed GUIDs are saved in a table that gets cleared every so often, a text file that contains the list of GUIDs, etc. kind of hard to pick a complete solution based on just what you provide. But the above should provide you with all the requirements you have outlined.
I'm trying to pull from the API of story counts for the latest release, broken down by schedule state. There's a report that does that currently, but I don't see any exposed method in the API. Does anyone know if that's possible to obtain?
You should be able to do a query for each schedule state, and grab TotalResultCount from the body of the response. For example:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.31/hierarchicalrequirement.js?query=(ScheduleState = "Defined")
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/1.31/hierarchicalrequirement.js?query=(ScheduleState = "In-Progress")
and so on. Since there are only four "built-in" schedule states, plus an optional one before Defined and an optional one after Accepted, it's at most 6 requests.
You can further filter down Alan's examples above with some release information as well by changing the query parameter:
query=((ScheduleState = Defined) AND (Release.Name = "My Release"))
Are you writing an app using the App SDK or using one of our other REST toolkits (ruby, .net, python)? You may be able to find some better code examples here:
http://developer.rallydev.com
You might also try the Batch Query approach that allows you to just return the size of the query instead of counting the results. See the
"Getting the Size of a Collection" example of the api doc:

I have 2 1/2 years experience of VB.Net, mostly self taught, so please bear with me if I seem rather noobish still and do not know some of the basics. I would recommend you grab a cup of tea before starting on this, as it appears to have got quite long...
I currently have a rather large application (VB.Net website) of over 15000 lines of code at the last count. It does not do retail or anything particularly complex like that - it is literally just a wholesale viewing website with admin frontend, catalogue / catalogue management system and pageview system.
I don't really know much about how .Net applications work in the background - whether they are all loaded on the same thread or if each has its own thread... I just know how to code them, or at least like to think I do... :-)
Basically my application is set up as follows:
There are two different areas - the customer area and the administration frontend.
The main part of the customer frontend is the Catalogue. The MasterPage will load a list of products but that's all, and this is common to all the customer frontend pages.
I tend to work on only one or several parts of the application at a time before uploading the changes. So, for example, I may alter the hierarchy of the Catalogue and change the Catalogue page to match the hierarchy change whilst leaving everything else alone.
The pageview database is getting really quite large and so it is getting rather slow when the application is first requested due to the way it works.
The application timeout is set to 5 minutes - don't know how to change it, I have even tried asking this question on here and seem to remember the solution was quite complex and I was recommended not to change it, but if a customer requests the application 5 minutes after the last page view then it will reload the application from scratch. This means there is a very slow page load whenever it exceeds 5 minutes of inactivity.
I am not sure if this needs consideration to determine how best to split the application up, if at all, but each part of the catalogue system is set up as follows:
A Manager class at the top level, which is used by the admin frontend to add, edit and remove items of the specified type and the customer frontend to retrieve a list of items of the specified type. For example the "RangeManager" will contain a list of product "Ranges" and will be used to interact with these from the customer frontend.
An Item class, for example Range, which contains a list of Attributes. For example Name, Description, Visible, Created, CreatedBy and so on. The form for adding / editing loops through these to display relevant controls for the administrator. For example a Checkbox for BooleanAttribute.
An Attribute class, which can be of type StringAttribute, BooleanAttribute, IntegerAttribute and so on. There are also custom Attributes (not just datatypes) such as RangeAttribute, UserAttribute and so on. These are given a data field which is used to get a piece of data specific to the item it is contained in when it is first requested. Basically the Item is given a DataRow which is stored and accessed by Attributes only when they are first requested.
When one item is requested from a specific manager is requested, the manager will loop through all the items in the database and create a new instance of the item class. For example when a Range is requested from the RangeManager, the RangeManager will loop through all of the DataRows in the Ranges table and create a new instance of Range for each one. As stated above it simply creates a new instance with the DataRow, rather than loading all the data into it there and then. The Attributes themselves fetch the relevant data from the DataRow as and when they're first requested.
It just seems a tad stupid, in my mind, to recompile and upload the entire application every time I fix a minor bug or a spelling mistake for a word which is in the code behind (for example if I set the text of a Label dynamically). A fix / change to the Catalogue page, the way it is now, may mean a customer trying to view the Contact page, which is in no way related to the Catalogue page apart from by having the same MasterPage, cannot do so because the DLL is being uploaded.
Basically my question is, given my current situation, how would people suggest I change the architecture of the application by way of splitting it into multiple applications? I mean would it be just customer / admin, or customer / admin and pageviews, or some other way? Or not at all? Are there any other alternatives which I have not mentioned here? Could web services come in handy here? Like split the catalogue itself into a different application and just have the masterpage for all the other pages use a web service to get the names of the products to list on the left hand side? Am I just way WAY over-complicating things? Judging by the length of this question I probably am, and it wouldn't be the first time... I have tried to keep it short, but I always fail... :-)
Many thanks in advance, and sorry if I have just totally confused you!

Richard
15000 LOC is not really all that big.
It sounds like you are not pre-compiling your site for publishing. You may want to read this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/1y1404zt(v=vs.80).aspx
Recompiling and uploading the application is the best way to do it. If all you are changing is your markup, that can be uploaded individually (e.g. changing some html layout in an aspx page).
I don't know what you mean here by application timeout, but if your app domain recycles every 5 minutes, then that doesn't seem right at all. You should look into this.
Also, if you find yourself working on various different parts of the site (i.e. many different changes), but need to deploy only some items in isolation, then you should look into how you are using your source control tools (you are using one, aren't you?). Look into something like GIT and branching/merging.
