Create Large Amount of Work Items in TFS Using Javascript REST API

问题:

I need to create around 6000 work items via my TFS extension. I use typescript and REST API in my extension.

below is the code I use to create work item

 var ops = [             {                 path: "/fields/System.Title",                 op: "add",                 value: "Hello world"             }         ];      var options = {         url: 'http://localhost:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/Agile Git/_apis/wit/workItems/$Bug?api-version=2.2',         username: 'username',         password: 'password',         domain: 'domain',         method: 'PATCH',         headers: {           'Content-Type': 'application/json-patch+json'         },         body: JSON.stringify(ops)     };      httpntlm.patch(options, function(err,res) {                 console.log("patch complete");                 console.log(res.body);     }) 

I iterate details for each work item and try to create bulk of work items, with time intervals (like 100 work items batches) . But creation process fails for many of work items with timeout problems (I was able to generate around 1000 work items). Is there recommended method to create / edit work items. Please help.

Using Work item batch api instead:

For example:

http://[collection url]/_apis/wit/$batch?api-version=1.0 

Body:

[   {     "method": "PATCH",     "uri": "/ScrumStarain/_apis/wit/workItems/$Product Backlog Item?api-version=1.0",     "headers": {       "Content-Type": "application/json-patch+json"     },     "body": [       {         "op": "add",         "path": "/fields/System.Title",         "value": "apip1"       },       {         "op": "add",         "path": "/id",         "value": "-1"       }     ]   },   {     "method": "PATCH",     "uri": "/ScrumStarain/_apis/wit/workItems/$Task?api-version=1.0",     "headers": {       "Content-Type": "application/json-patch+json"     },     "body": [       {         "op": "add",         "path": "/fields/System.Title",         "value": "apip2"       },       {         "op": "add",         "path": "/id",         "value": "-2"       }      ]   } ]
