Configure Rhapsody DM as an OSLC consumer of Rational Team Concert

You can integrate the Design Management capabilities of Rational® Rhapsody® with the change and configuration management application, Rational Team Concert™, by configuring the applications to associate development artifacts with design elements and resources.

About this task

You can use this integration to link design resources to change and configuration management artifacts such as work items and plans.

When you configure Rational Rhapsody for Design Management to work with Rational Team Concert, design resources can be linked to change and configuration management artifacts by using the predefined Elaborates link type in Design Management. When you create links between design artifacts and change and configuration management artifacts, the links are visible in Rational Team Concert as Elaborated by Architecture Element links.
