Creating Rational Artifacts from SAP Solution Manager Blueprints

A business analyst typically decides and specifies what data is sent from a business blueprint to become test plans and test cases in Rational® Quality Manager and requirements in Rational Requirements Composer. Not all data in the blueprint would necessarily be sent across from SAP Solution Manager through the Rational Connector to a set of Rational CLM projects.

About this task

You associate the SAP Solution Manager project that contains the business blueprint to a Rational Connector project and its associated CLM projects. You then select the objects to send with a blueprint push to the CLM projects.

Procedure

  1. Associate the SAP Solution Manager Project containing the business blueprint to a Rational Connector project and its associated CLM projects. For more information, see Linking an SAP Solution Manager Project to a Rational Connector Project.
  2. The business analyst specifies objects to be sent with a blueprint push to the CLM projects.
    1. From SAP Solution Manager, open an existing blueprint with the transaction code SOLAR01 or SOLAR02.
    2. Make sure that the blueprint is in edit mode by selecting Business Blueprint > Display > Change.
    3. Go to within the left side tree view pane to each node in the Business Blueprint Hierarchy pane and click the text title of the node.
    4. Select the Transfer to IBM Rational tab on the right side, Details pane.
    5. Click the green plus sign to add data to the Transfer to IBM Rational tab.
      1. Select the transfer type.
        • Document as Business Requirement Document.
        • Object as Test Object.
      2. Click the check mark.
      3. Select each object or requirement.
      4. After the required data is chosen, click the check mark.
  3. (Optional and Recommended) For each added Business Requirement Document, add child test objects that validate the requirement.

    Test objects that are listed separately on the Transfer to IBM Rational tab do not have Specified By links to the associated Rational Requirements Composer requirements.

    This step causes an OLSC validated by link between the resulting Rational Requirements Composer requirement and the Rational Quality Manager test case.

    1. Select the row in the Transfer to IBM Rational tab for a Business Requirement Document.
    2. Click the Attribute icon on the row of icons above the Transfer to IBM Rational tab.
    3. On the Maintain Attributes dialog, click the Test Objects tab.
    4. Click the green plus sign to insert a test object onto the Test Objects tab.
    5. Select each test object.
    6. After the required test objects are chosen, click the check mark.
    7. Click the check mark to close the Maintain Attributes dialog.
  4. Click the Save icon below the menu bar to save changes to the blueprint.

    Objects that are selected for transfer to the IBM Rational Project

  5. Click Business Blueprint > Send Data to IBM Rational Project
  6. Select the subset of blueprint nodes to be sent.

    The subset of blueprint nodes that you select in this dialog are used for subsequent automatic blueprint pushes that are initiated from the Solution Manager background job.

  7. Click the green check mark.
