Regarding bugs

The precise effect of omit_targeted=True is to constrain the bug task search to those tasks that have neither a distroseries nor a productseries. It adds conditions to the query, so it cannot cause the search to return more results.

If you have an example where omit_targeted=True returns more results than omit_targeted=False, then please provide us with specific details of that example.

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your support.

I am giving you eg here where omit_targeted parameter has been used.

Here below URl is for fetching bugs of milestone - r3.1.0.0-fcs

https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs?ws.op=searchTasks&omit_targeted=true
Total bugs count - 841

But if I use - omit_targeted=false , as
https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs?ws.op=searchTasks&omit_targeted=false

Total bugs count - 1686

So omit_targeted=true returns fewer tasks than omit_targeted=false. That's as expected, and is the opposite of the situation you described in your original question. I think you've just read them the wrong way round by mistake.

Thanks Colin.

Yea you are right.

But I have to fetch bugs of milestone - r3.1.0.0-fcs
But I don't know whether I should use omit_targeted parameter or not?
How will I know about it?

eg - I am fetching bugs of milestone - r3.1.0.0-fcs with status= New , then count differs on using omit_targeted parameter
& below is the url for it -

https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs?ws.op=searchTasks&status=New&omit_targeted=false
Bugs Count - 357

https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs?ws.op=searchTasks&status=New&omit_targeted=true
Bugs Count - 186

Then, from which url I should fetch bugs of this milestone?

The option exists because people want different things in different situations. Just pointing out that the count differs isn't very useful in itself.

The count is actually a count of bug tasks, not a count of bugs. So, if you're trying to get a count of bugs, your best approach might be to use omit_targeted=true and then construct a unique set of bug IDs on the client side.

Thanks Colin.

But as you can see on this url - http://bugs.launchpad.net/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs

Bugs with New status are - 199

But using api url as mentioned below -

https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs?ws.op=searchTasks&status=New&omit_targeted=false
Bugs Count - 357

https://api.launchpad.net/1.0/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs?ws.op=searchTasks&status=New&omit_targeted=true
Bugs Count - 186

How will I get actual number of bugs with status New as present in this url - http://bugs.launchpad.net/juniperopenstack/+milestone/r3.1.0.0-fcs ?

Thanks
