Configuring integrations using OSLC

You can integrate data in lifecycle applications, such as change management, quality management, and design management, with requirements data in Rational® DOORS® and Rational DOORS Web Access. Integration is implemented using Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) data sharing. After the configuration is complete, you can create traceability relationships between your requirements and other lifecycle application artifacts.

You can create links in Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web Access to new and existing artifacts in integrated projects. When you create a link to an artifact, a link is created from the artifact in the lifecycle application back to the requirement. The users in those applications can also create objects in modules and link to those objects. You can use links to navigate to linked artifacts or hover the mouse over a link to view live information about the artifacts. You do not need to perform any data synchronization.

The linking and exchange of data across applications is enabled by the implementation of Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) specifications, which standardize the way that lifecycle tools work together. Rational DOORS supports the OSLC data sharing specification as a provider for the Requirements Management domain and as a consumer of other lifecycle domains.

To enable Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web Access to integrate with other products, you must install and configure the components listed here.

Regarding the use of licenses:

See the following topics for information about installing the Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web Access components.

Attention: Even if you plan to only use the Rational DOORS client for the integrations, you must still install and configure the Rational DOORS Web Access components.
