Hello. Although using ‘curl’ may not be entirely accurate it’s the closest approximation I can make–I’m using a webservice API in another program to create tickets. I’ve got everything worker except the owner. No matter what I do, I can’t get it to set an owner.
Since I’m only testing things out, I have the content part being sent to be pretty simple and largely hardcoded.
id: ticket/new (tested, works)
Requestor: amartin@corp.crocker.com (tested, works)
Owner: amartin@corp.crocker.com
Subject: (variable, tested, works fine)
Priority: (variable, tested, works fine)
Text: (whatever they want, tested, works fine)
Queue: TAS Provisioning Team (tested, worked after a lot of heartache. Apparently this has to go on the bottom of the content being sent over curl to work.)
Everything works fine except no matter what I do, the Owner is always nobody. I looked up my user information and that is set as my “Name” in the system, but I’ve tried it with my “Real Name” and that didn’t work either. My email is the same as my “Name.”
is andrew a Name of an RT user
is andrew account enabled
as andrew OwnTicket right on queue “desk”
what if you user Owner instead of owner
what if you use unix line breaks (%0A) instead of %0D%0A
I have done exactly the same as you have and it works fine for me. However, my owner field is that of a registered user of the RT system and not an email address (we deliberately did not give our user an email address). I have also had to write a simple jacket program to create the parameter file as it prefers the unix style line-feed terminated strings not the windows carriage-return/line-feed.
Note all this is done on a Windows machine.
rem : rt_addline adds a line with only a LF line terminator specifically to param.file
rt_addline “ticket/new”
rt_addline “Requestor: %RT_FROM%”
rt_addline “Cc: %RT_FROM%”
rt_addline “Owner: %rt_user%”
rt_addline “Subject: %title%”
rt_addline “Text: Ticket created”
rt_addline “Queue: %rt_queue%”
