Linking between project areas

Use the Jazz™ project administration interface to create links between project areas for C/ALM integrations on participating Jazz Team Servers. This association of project areas enables users to create links from artifacts, such as test cases, requirements, and work items, in one project area to artifacts in another project area.

Before you begin

You must establish cross-server communication and approve OAuth access requests before performing this procedure. Ensure that your Web browser preferences are not set to block pop-ups. In addition, ensure that you have the appropriate access licenses. (See Preparing for C/ALM integrations.)

About this task

To create links between project areas on participating Jazz Team Servers:

Procedure

    • For IBM Rational Quality Manager, click Admin > Jazz Project Administration.
  2. Select a project area from the Active Project Areas list.
  3. On the project overview page, scroll to the Links section and click Add.
  4. In the Server drop-down list, select a target Jazz Team Server that you identified when establishing cross-server communication. You are prompted to log in to the target server.
  5. Log in to the target Jazz Team Server as a member of the JazzAdmins group. When asked whether you will allow the two servers to collaborate, click Yes. An entry for the target server project area appears in the Service Providers field of the Add Link window. Select the service provider entry and click Finish.
