Configure a suspicion profile in the requirements management
application to use suspect links with the adapter, if you want to.
A suspicion profile identifies a set of link types, artifact types,
and attributes to watch for changes. When artifacts that match the
profile criteria are changed, the linked artifacts are marked with
a suspicion indicator. The suspicion indicator alerts team members
of the possible impact of the change.
Before you begin
You associated HP ALM projects and CLM project areas.
About this task
With a suspicion profile, you can track changes to linked
artifacts in the Requirements Management applications. You can also
view HP resources marked with a suspicion indicator that might require
updates that are based on the changed Requirements Management artifacts.
In some scenarios, you can automatically update the linked HP resource
with the new content in the Requirements Management artifact.

Procedure
- Log in to the requirements management application by using
an account that has Jazz™ Administrator
privileges. https://fully qualified
hostname:port/rm/admin
- Under Application Administration, click Suspicion
Profiles.

The Suspicion Profile Administration page
opens.
- In the Requirements Management section, select a project.
The profile editor opens.
- To create a profile, either rename the untitled profile
or click the Create Suspicion Profile icon,
which is in the Suspicion Profiles heading or in the toolbar.
- In Profile Details, click Watch for References and Validated
By. Watch changes to Watching.
You can also click Watch for other link types
that you want to watch.
- Optional: To add details to the criteria, place
your cursor in the Artifact types to watch cell
for a link type and click the pencil icon that
is displayed. Select artifact types and click OK.

- Optional: To add criteria for specific attributes,
click the pencil icon in the Attributes
to watch cell and select attributes.
- Save the profile.
Enable suspicion tracking for the Requirements Management
application.
You must enable tracking to see an index of change
information for link types, artifacts types, and attributes. The suspicion
profile determines which of those changes are marked as suspicious.
- Click Track under Requirements Management.

Associate a suspicion profile with an HP ALM project
You
must associate a suspicion profile with your HP ALM project to monitor
changes to Rational® requirements.
- Go to the Manage Project page for
your project.

- On the Configure Project page, select
the suspicion profile to use with this project.

- Optional: When you update suspicious test cases
or requirements (as described in Working with Suspect Traceability), a Confirmation
dialog opens before the contents of your HP resources are overwritten.
If you prefer to disable this Confirmation dialog, set the system
property com.ibm.oslc.qm.adapter.hpqc.skipUpdateOverwriteConfirm to true.
Results
You created a suspicion profile to track changes to linked
artifacts in the Requirements Management applications. You also associated
a suspicion profile with your HP ALM project to monitor changes to Rational requirements.
