How to get eSignature details from WorkItem?


For compliance purposes, you may need to provide eSignatures (enter the password) at specific points during the workflow of a WorkItem. If you are using workitem schema (https://server:port/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?metadata=schema) from RTC (now called EWM), the signature-action can be extracted with custom E-Signature attribute, but the signature comment cannot be extracted. To get e-signature comment, you can use generic schema.

The generic raw schema (https://server:port/ccm/rpt/repository/generic?metadata=schema) exposes e-signature details from WorkItem. You can use the query generic/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/eSignatureRecords and print generic/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/eSignatureRecords/actiondetails and generic/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/eSignatureRecords/reason.

You can use https://server:port/ccm/rpt/repository/generic as data source URI.

One thought on “How to get eSignature details from WorkItem?”

  1. Can you write an article on digital signatures using DOORS 9.7 which I have and RPE 7.0?
    I have a Word document that has been digitally signed by lead, manager, and dept head on the title page of the document and when imported into DOORS 9.7 module, these signatures become graphic images. RPE 7.0 can only apply a digital signature to the whole document upon export, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to route exported document for resignature of digital sigs vs only the whole document with only one digital sig.. DOORS implementation of digitally signing is just those that approve the requirements module must have a DOORS account and when all of the approvers approve the module, the module becomes uneditable from what I’ve read (this is the old way before digital sigs were invented). So is there a way upon RPE export to route document for multiple digital sigs?
