Adding links using the SOAP interface

Hi all, I’ve find here http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs/2009-October/028972.html http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/otrs/2009-October/028972.html a way to add links using the SOAP API. However, this is not documented in OTRS’ admin manual. And, looking at the code, I don’t see anything related to links in the “GenericInterface/Operation” folder: support@otrs:/opt/otrs/Kernel$ ls -l GenericInterface/Operation total 24 -rw-rw-r-- 1 otrs www-data 9087 Jan 26 2012 Common.pm drwxrwxr-x 2 otrs www-data 4096 Aug 28 09:48 Session drwxrwxr-x 2 otrs www-data 4096 Aug 28 09:48 Test drwxrwxr-x 2 otrs www-data 4096 Aug 28 09:48 Ticket support@otrs:/opt/otrs/Kernel$ So, I’m wondering if this is something really supported (by OTRS AG). Does anyone here knows? Regards, Cyrille

It depends on what you mean by "supported".
If you pay them, will they fix or develop for you? Yes.
Will it work if you use that hyperlinked method? Yes. (caveat: some of the
API *might* have changed since 2009)
"Why isn't it documented?"
Anything in http://dev.otrs.org is "documentation" for the purpose of
programming, and you should be reasonably able to adapt your hyperlinked
information to LinkObject or any other part of the API.

Hi Gerald,
Thanks for your answer.
Ive just understood why I was asking myself this question: The AddLink method is not called via the Generic Interface (thats via the nph-genericinterface.pl script) but rather via the (old?) rpc.pl script.
So, I guess my question might be more clearly stated as Does OTRS AG (fully) support the (old?) rpc.pl interface? or, in other words, Can I assume that the functionalities offered by rpc.pl will work and that OTRS AG will fix bugs found in these modules if we have an active OTRS subscription?.
Best regards,
Cyrille

from jojo: rpc.pl is deprecated. Try to use the generic interface.
