You can create collaboration links from Rational®
DOORS® Web Access objects to artifacts in
Design Management, the applications for the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), and
other lifecycle applications.
Before you begin
The integration to those applications must be configured by using OSLC data sharing,
as described in
Integrating requirements data with other data types
using OSLC.
To create collaboration links, you must have create access to
the object. You must also have an edit package. Your current package is displayed in
the header of the web client workspace.
About this task
Use the collaboration link type that is associated with the integrated
application that you intend to link to.
- Implemented by
- This link type is for defects and other work items in change and
configuration management applications, such as IBM®
Rational Team Concert™.
- Validated by
- This link type is for test artifacts in quality management
applications, such as IBM
Rational Quality
Manager.
- References
- This link type is for artifacts in requirements management
applications, such as IBM Rational
DOORS Next
Generation.
- Refines, Satisfies, and Trace
- These link types are for models and resources in design management
applications.
This procedure uses the "Validated by" link type as an example;
however, the procedure is similar for other type collaboration
links.
Procedure
- From any attribute of the object, open the
Options menu. To find the Options menu, in the upper-right
corner of an attribute in the grid, click the arrow
. You can see the arrow in each attribute in the current row
and when you hover the cursor over an attribute in the grid.
- To create links, select the collaboration link type and the data
repository. For example, you might click .
- In the window that opens, select or create an artifact to link
to.
- If you intend to select an artifact to link to, you can select
from a list of available artifacts. For example, to create
validation links, you might select the test script that validates
the requirement and the related test script steps.
- If you create an artifact to link to, you are prompted to
create the artifact in the delegated application. A link is
created to the artifact, and another link is created from the
artifact to the requirement artifact.
