Accessing individual workitems through RTC’s Reportable REST API

When accessing individual RTC work items through the reportable REST API there are two ways of going about it.

Embed the work item ID in the URL as a filter

https://giediprime:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem[id=36]/(description|summary|severity|state)

Embed the work item ID in the URL as  a path segment

https://giediprime:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem/workItem/id/36?fields=workitem/workItem[id=36]/(description|summary|severity|state)

Using the ID in the path segment is especially convenient when following links to RTC as it allows to convert the OSLC URL to Reportable REST without requiring additional variables and native filters as described in Assemble traceability documents from reusable building blocks.

• OSLC URL:  https://giediprime:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/36
• Reportable REST URL:
  https://giediprime:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem/workItem/id/36
