Use the adapter server administration interface to establish
friend relationships between the adapter application, the HP ALM server,
Requirements Management, and Change and Configuration Management.
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
Verify that your Requirements Management applications,
Change and Configuration Management applications, and HP ALM server
are started.
If you are integrating with Rational® ClearQuest®, see Technote 1580379 for information about configuring
the friend relationships between Rational ClearQuest projects and the
HP ALM application.
Important: If you have administrator
rights, you can automatically process server friend requests and approvals
between the HP ALM server and the Jazz™ servers
by selecting the check box Attempt to friend the HP ALM
Adapter from the remote application in the steps.
Review
the project associations that are possible between HP ALM projects
and CLM projects to learn about what servers to friend, see Using the HP adapter.
About this task
You add a friend relationship to the Change and Configuration
Management server and the Requirements Management server.
Procedure
- Point your browser to https://fully qualified
hostname:port/hpqm. Log in to
the Rational Adapter for
HP ALM server. Use an account that has administrator privileges, if
applicable.
- On the Application Administration page,
click Friends (Outbound). The Friends page
opens.
- In the Add Friend section:
- For Name, type the name that
you want to use to identify the CLM 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
- For Root Services URI, type the
uniform resource identifier for the Jazz application
server.
For example, by using default context root
values, for Rational Requirements
Composer, https://fully qualified hostname:port/rm/rootservices and
for Rational Team
Concert https://fully qualified hostname:port/ccm/rootservices
- If you have administrator privileges on the HP ALM server
and the Jazz servers that you
want to friend, select the check box next to Attempt to
friend the HP ALM Adapter from the remote application. This option automatically requests and approves server friend
requests between the HP ALM server and the Jazz servers.
- 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.
- Repeat step 3 to create
another application 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 adapter and a Change and
Configuration Management application and a Requirements Management
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 HP ALM server and the Jazz servers
by using the Attempt to friend the HP ALM Adapter from
the remote application check box. For more information
about approving friend requests, see Approving an access request.
