I wanted to take advantage of the Slack communications beta for Bluemix DevOps services, but in my IBM restricted DevOps project I do not see any option to enable it..
What am I missing?
This is explained at Integrating Slack with Bluemix DevOps Services BETA - Integrations - IBM Bluemix DevOps Services:
Project's Overview page->Integrated Tools section->Integrate with a tool->SLACK.
You may want to instead use the next evolution of Bluemix DevOps Services, which has Slack integration, in addition to several other ones.

I have started using Bluemix devops insights service available as part of Bluemix toolchain. I am not able to see any documentation on integration of SonarQube with the tool. The one available in the service is a bit misleading as it only talks about UT, code cov. & FVT but not on how to publish SonarQube static code analysis reports to Devops insight, can someone pl. help?
Check the documentation pages on Publishing Test Results. If you're using DevOps Pipelines, go into the scripts for your builds, and integrate in the idra command as shown in the example. Also spend some time reading that npm package, which goes over how to do this within a Continuous delivery pipeline, or from the CLI.
I thought I'd read that there was an entire web services API for automating the latest Bluemix DevOps tooling? I don't see anything obvious in the documentation
https://console.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/ContinuousDelivery/index.html#cd_getting_started
You're right. You can choose to create a toolchain or start from a toolchain template.
You may find this microservices devops toolchain template tutorial helpful.
https://www.ibm.com/devops/method/tutorials/tutorial_toolchain_microservices_cd?task=1
By default, the toolchain comes with these tool integrations:
IBM-hosted Git Repos and Issue Tracking repositories (repos)
Delivery pipelines
IBM Cloud DevOps Insights
The Eclipse Orion Web IDE
Sauce Labs
pagerDuty
Slack
See https://github.com/open-toolchain/sdk/wiki
This is where we are defining the API. Since SO won't let us have a conversation about what you're actual requirements are, feel free to create an issue on the repo to capture them.
I want to use Bluemix DevOps Services from a portal outside of Bluemix.
Are there APIs which can be used to invoke DevOps services.
For example : How can I create a delivery pipeline without using bluemix or hub.jazz interface?
Thanks
This question is answered over on IBM's dWAnswers in this thread.
To put it plainly, no, though you can 'automagically' create pipelines with Bluemix's Deploy to Bluemix feature.
We are used to running Java development projects, typically using Atlassian products including Stash. We're now trying to use Bluemix Devops Services instead.
One limitation we have found is that you cannot create Pull Requests, meaning we can't review changes to source code before it is merged.
Is this the case? And what do others do for source code review workflow in Bluemix Devops?
At this time no you can not do code reviews through Bluemix. You can however attached the DevOps pipeline to a Github project though.
I have an IBM DevOps Bluemix project in one of my Bluemix accounts and I need to move it to one of my other Bluemix Accounts. How do I do that in the new Bluemix DevOps?
you could take a look at the cloud foundry cli plugins. here is one - https://github.com/mevansam/cf-copy-plugin. This allows you to copy from one space/org/target to another
