Importing work items

You can import work items from IBM® Rational® Team Concert into IBM UrbanCode Release. During the import process, the work items are associated with releases and applications, depending on the mapping that you define. After you import work items, you can view the details of the work items in IBM UrbanCode Release. You can also group similar work items into initiatives. After you establish all associations, you can track the status of work items for each release, applications, and initiative to see how work is progressing.

About this task

Restriction: The integration implementation is unidirectional and for informational purposes only. You can view and import work items into IBM UrbanCode Release but you cannot edit them in the application. You must update work items in Rational Team Concert.

You set up the integration in IBM UrbanCode Release. You can create a separate integration for each Rational Team Concert Project.

Note: You can retrieve work item updates from the Rational Team Concert server manually by clicking Run Integration when you want the most recent information from Rational Team Concert in IBM UrbanCode Release. Or you can askIBM UrbanCode Release to poll the Rational Team Concert server automatically on a set frequency. You can set the frequency between every 30 minutes and once a day. IBM UrbanCode Release can automatically poll the Rational Team Concert server for updates to multiple projects in parallel.

Procedure

  1. In Rational Team Concert, create a query for the project area.
  2. In IBM UrbanCode Release, click Integrations, and then click the integration with the Rational Team Concert server.
  3. In the Mapping section, select a project area, and then select a query.
  4. Map the fields.
  5. Click Run Integration.

Results

Work items are imported into IBM UrbanCode Release and are mapped to an application or release, depending on the mapping that you put in place before you clicked Run Integration.
