After a project with the required
business needs is finalized in IBM® Rational® Focal Point™,
you can export the project to a Collaborative Lifecycle Management
(CLM) system for project execution. When you export a project to a
CLM system, a project area is created, and work items are created
for each business need. You can synchronize with the CLM system at
regular intervals to view the project status.
Before you begin
Set up the integration with the
Jazz™ server.
Procedure
To configure the integration attributes to export projects:
- Connect to a server:
- In Rational Focal Point,
click .
- Click Add connector.
- Select a view that displays projects.
- Configure the integration attributes and corresponding
aliases for the project:
- Click , and select the module
for the project.
- In the module, verify that the integration attributes
for the proposed start date, proposed finish date, and project link
are available. If those attributes do not exist, create them. Optionally,
you can set up additional integration attributes.
- Click , and configure the aliases
for the integration attributes, as specified in integration attribute aliases.
- Configure integration attributes
for business needs. The business needs can be in different modules.
You can complete these steps for each module:
- Click and select a business
need module.
- In a business need module, verify that the integration
attributes that you want are available, or create those attributes.
- Click , and configure the aliases
for the integration attributes, as specified in integration attribute aliases.
What to do next
When the integration is set up, click to verify that the
login page settings specify the Login or Balancer URL that you use
to log in. This URL is used in CLM to display links to the current
Rational Focal Point installation.
You
are now ready to export a project from Rational Focal Point to
CLM.
