The Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration Change Management (OSLC-CM) specification defines a lightweight, RESTful API for software change management systems. It acts as a common language for Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) tools. You can mix and match your choice of tools, while maintaining an integration between them.
For more details, go to the OSLC-CM website.
IBM® Rational® Change supports both the OSLC-CM 1.0 and 2.0 REST API specifications.
With the OSLC-CM REST API, you can work with other tools in the following ways:
- Integrate Rational Change with OSLC-CM consumers, such as IBM Rational Quality Manager
- Expose CRs to RESTful web service consumers, such as IBM Rational Publishing Engine
- Integrate your own tools and scripts with Rational Change
This API is separate from the existing SOAP-based web services.
