Changing a connection to Rational RequisitePro

You can change a connection from one Rational® RequisitePro® project to another. This removes all links between requirements that were linked in the previous project. You can then manage and import requirements with the new connection.

  1. Open the project in Rational Requirements Composer and click the Administration tab.
  2. In the Rational RequisitePro connections area, click Edit Connection.
  3. In the Edit RequisitePro Connection window, do one or both of the following:
    • Change the entry in the Server field. Test the connection to the new server.
    • Remove the entry in the Project field and click Browse to select a different project.
  4. Click Next.
  5. (Optional) At the Synchronization Options page, select check boxes to enable the options:
    Option Description

What to do next

After configuring the new integration, you can synchronize the Rational RequisitePro requirement types with Rational Requirements Composer attribute groups. See Synchronizing attribute groups and requirement types. This enables you to use the integration to associate requirements and update attribute values in both tools.

Use the Manage Requirements option to add Rational Requirements Composer requirements to the Rational RequisitePro project. See Adding a requirement to Rational RequisitePro.

Use the Import Requirements option to import Rational RequisitePro requirements into Rational Requirements Composer. See Importing requirements from Rational RequisitePro.
