Create Test-Suite in Silk Central Test Manager with Filter using Webservices

Hello,

i want to create a Test-Suite in Silk Central Test Manager with a Filter by using a webservice. My Problem is, that i cannot set the Filter for the new suite by webservice but direct with a database update.

My SQL-Update-Code:

int nodeId = executionPlanningService.addNode(sessionId, project, node, parentIdOfSuite);

# After Adding the Node, i update the database:
String execFilter = "update TM_ExecutionDefinitions set FilterID_fk = " + filterOfSmoketest.getId() + " where ExecDefID_pk_fk = " + nodeId;
SCTMDatenbank.updateSQL(execFilter);

Is there a better way?
Is it possible that I only set a filter with webservice without a database update? If so, how can I use it?


Thanks,

Marcelo

Full-Code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    SCTMWebservices.setIsTestSystem(true);
    String sessionId = SCTMWebservices.login();
    ExecutionPlanningService executionPlanningService = SCTMWebservices.getExecutionPlaningService();

    int project = 69;
    int testContainer = 353041;
    String name = "Sample-Suite C";
    String description = "Descrpition of the Sample-Suite";
    String build = "DAILY-BUILD";
    String version = "9.99_74";
    int priority = 1;
    String fakeExecutionDefinitions = "575987";
    int parentIdOfSuite = 46221;
    String keywords = "linux";
    String filterName = "Smoketests";

    // Search Filter by Name
    Filter filterOfSmoketest = getFilter(sessionId, project, filterName);

    // Build Propertys for new Node
    PropertyValue eName = getNewProperty("PROP_NAME", "PROP_NAME", name, null);
    PropertyValue eDescription = getNewProperty("PROP_DESC", "PROP_DESC", description, null);
    PropertyValue eBuild = getNewProperty("PROP_BUILDNAME", "PROP_BUILDNAME", build, null);
    PropertyValue eVersion = getNewProperty("PROP_VERSIONNAME", "PROP_VERSIONNAME", version, null);
    PropertyValue eBuildInfo = getNewProperty("PROP_USE_BUILDINFOFILE", "PROP_USE_BUILDINFOFILE", Boolean.toString(false), null);
    PropertyValue ePriority = getNewProperty("PROP_PRIORITY", "PROP_PRIORITY", Integer.toString(priority), null);
    PropertyValue eTestContainer = getNewProperty("PROP_TESTCONTAINER", "PROP_TESTCONTAINER", Integer.toString(testContainer), null);
    PropertyValue eRunExclusive = getNewProperty("PROP_RUNEXCLUSIVE", "PROP_RUNEXCLUSIVE", "true", null);
    PropertyValue eRunDistributed = getNewProperty("PROP_RUNDISTRIBUTED", "PROP_RUNDISTRIBUTED", "true", null);
    PropertyValue eExecutionDefintion = getNewProperty("PROP_ASSIGNED_TESTDEFS", "PROP_ASSIGNED_TESTDEFS", fakeExecutionDefinitions, null);

    // Add new Suite
    ExecutionNode node = new ExecutionNode();
    node.setKind(3);
    node.setPropertyValues(new PropertyValue[] { eName, eDescription, eBuild, eVersion, eBuildInfo, ePriority, eTestContainer, eExecutionDefintion , eRunExclusive, eRunDistributed});
    int nodeId = executionPlanningService.addNode(sessionId, project, node, parentIdOfSuite);

    // Set Filter in the database direkt

    String execFilter = "update TM_ExecutionDefinitions set FilterID_fk = " + filterOfSmoketest.getId() + " where ExecDefID_pk_fk = " + nodeId;
    SCTMDatenbank.updateSQL(execFilter);

    // Set KeyWords
    executionPlanningService.setKeywords(sessionId, nodeId, keywords.split(";"));

    // Now you can run the Suite and it get the right filtered Tests
