Establishing friend relationships from the adapter

Use the adapter server administration interface to establish friend relationships between the JIRA application, Requirements Management, and Change and Configuration Management, and Quality Management applications. Use this procedure to add the location information for each of the CLM applications, and send a request to each CLM friend application.

Before you begin

Previous post-installation tasks are complete.

If you are integrating with Rational® ClearQuest®, see Technote 1580379 for information about configuring the friend relationships between Rational ClearQuest projects and the JIRA application.

Important: If you have administrator rights, you can automatically process server friend requests and approvals between the JIRA server and the Jazz™ servers by selecting the check box Attempt to friend the JIRA Adapter from the remote application in the steps.

Review the project associations that are possible between JIRA projects and CLM projects to learn about what servers to friend, see Using the JIRA adapter.

Verify that your Requirements Management applications, Change and Configuration Management applications, Quality Management applications, and JIRA server are started.

About this task

You add a friend relationship to the Change and Configuration Management server, the Requirements Management server, and the Quality Management server.

Procedure

  1. Point your browser to http://YourJIRAhostname:8080/

    Log in to the JIRA server. Use an account that has administrator privileges, if applicable.

  2. Click Administration > Add ons at the upper right of the page.
  3. In the OSLC section at the lower left of the Administration page, click Rational Adapter Home.

    The Rational Adapter for JIRA page opens.

    The JIRA adapter banner

  4. In the Add Friends section, click Friends - (Manage Friend Setup). The Add Friend page opens.
  5. In the Friends page:
    1. For Name, type the name that you want to use to identify the JIRA friend application.
      • To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Requirements Composer that is hosted on a computer named rrc.example.com, then you might use the name RRC on rrc.example.com
      • To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Team Concert™ that is hosted on a computer named rtc.example.com, then you might use the name RTC on rtc.example.com
      • To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Quality Manager that is hosted on a computer named rqm.example.com, then you might use the name RQM on rqm.example.com
    2. For Root Services URI, type the uniform resource identifier for the Jazz application server. For example, by using default context root values,
      • For Rational Team Concert, https://fully qualified hostname:port/ccm/rootservices
      • For Rational Requirements Composer, https://fully qualified hostname:port/rm/rootservices
      • for Rational Quality Manager, https://fully qualified hostname:port/qm/rootservices
    3. If you have administrator privileges on the JIRA server and the Jazz servers that you want to friend, select the check box next to Request the remote application to add the JIRA adapter as a friend. This option automatically requests and approves server friend requests between the JIRA server and the Jazz servers. A Consumers Inbound entry and a Friends Outbound entry are created on the CLM server.
    4. Click Add. If you selected the check box in the previous step, you are prompted for login credentials for the CLM applications. The new friend server is displayed in the Friend List section.
  6. Repeat step 5 to create another server friend request.
    Remember: Change the name and root services URI for the new server friend request and then click Add.

Results

A friend request exists between the JIRA application and a CLM application.

What to do next

Approve each friend request only if you did not select to automatically process server friend requests and approvals between the JIRA server and the Jazz servers by using the Attempt to friend the JIRA Adapter from the remote application check box. For more information about approving friend requests, see Approving an access request. Otherwise, associate JIRA projects with CLM project areas, see Linking between JIRA projects and CLM project areas.
