New HP ALM projects require some customizations to effectively
work with CLM projects.
Before you begin
Make sure the Rational® Adapter
for HP ALM is installed and that the server that hosts the adapter
is set up.
About this task
To use the adapter, you must customize your HP ALM projects
to work with CLM projects. To do this customization work for new HP
ALM projects that you want to integrate with CLM projects, you must
download the exported HP ALM project provided with the adapter, which
includes the required customization.
Procedure
- Download the customized HP ALM project provided with the
adapter:
