Subject: RE: “Mass Mutual” discussion re using NV Insight Reports in CI/CD pipeline

Hi,

                I reviewed the Jenkins plugin and in order to download the result of a Run to Jenkins build artifact, a specific PC REST API command is being used (you can see it from this link: https://admhelp.microfocus.com/pc/en/all/api_refs/Performance_Center_REST_API/Performance_Center_REST_API.htm#HTML_Results_Report.htm%3FTocPath%3DResources%7C_____18).

                Unfortunately, PC REST does not expose a command allowing to download any file related to a Run as I was wrongly expecting which would have allowed me to download the NV Insight report (I was under the assumption that PC RES allows it, mainly because I am also familiar with the ALM REST which does allow it and I confused between them).

So in order to have the Jenkins plugin allowing the download of NV Insight report, there is a need to have the PC REST modified to provide a command allowing it. Since the limitation is not in the Jenkins plugin, I would suggest for this request to be reported as an enhancement request on Performance Center product so it can be handled correctly as we need to have first the PC REST to be modified (a patch or hotfix provided) and then and only then the Jenkins plugin can be modified to use this new command.

Regards,
Daniel
