How to get the history of a jazz component using oslc

Question

I have retrieved the component details using .com/ccm/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.scm.Component/_C8OiATcYEeORAOTpOLW3QQ/?_mediaType=text/xml

then retrieved baseline from above output "" using .com/ccm/resource/itemOid/com.ibm.team.scm.Baseline/_C8hc_DcYEeORAOTpOLW3QQ/?_mediaType=text/xml";

Now I want to retrieve history from above output "" so that I can get the list of all changesets along with the UUIDs...

Can anyone please help me out for this, Im really stuck at this since long time.

Thanks in advance

Firstly, URLs of that pattern are not part of Jazz's OSLC interface.

The OSLC interfaces are only part of the Jazz products' REST interfaces - they have product-specific (non-standardized) REST interfaces too, in contrast to the standardized (but less specific) OSLC interfaces.

The way to tell the difference is, if you get the XML representation of the response to a URL, then if it doesn't contain a namespace whose URI includes "open-services.net" then it isn't part of the OSLC interface.

RTC doesn't support either the OSLC Software Configuration Management specification nor the later OSLC Configuration Management work and therefore I do not believe it is possible to achieve this using its OSLC interfaces.

(Sources: jazz.net RTC tickets Finish/continue OSLC configuration management support and OSLC SCM catalog entry has wrong URL for oslc_disc:services).

I know this doesn't answer your question as to how to get that information. I do not know if the information is available via the non-OSLC REST API (which you are already looking at). But perhaps this information might help you exclude misleading information (anything about OSLC in your search.)

Also, if you want this to be properly supported in the RTC OSLC API, try commenting on the ticket Finish/continue OSLC configuration management support stating your desire for this to be implemented.
