To set up Rational® DOORS® Web Access to integrate
with other applications using OSLC, you must gather information about
your installation of Rational DOORS Web Access, and then give
the information to the administrator of the other application.
About this task
You must give the administrator of the application that
wants to integrate with Rational DOORS Web Access a Consumer
Key, an OAuth Secret, and a Root
Services URL for your installation.
You use the Local
Keys tab on the database properties window in Rational DOORS to gather this information.
Procedure
- Log in to Rational DOORS as a database manager or
a custom user who has the power to manage the database.
- In the database explorer, make sure that the Database view
is selected. If necessary, click .
- Select the database, and then right-click Properties.
- On the Local Keys tab, select Add,
complete the fields, and register the consumer.
Note: When
configuring "friend" relationships for OSLC linking between participating
servers, always use a server name. Do not use an IP address.
- Give the administrator of the remote server the Consumer
Key and OAuth Secret that you have
registered, along with the Root Services URL for
the Rational DOORS Web Access server and ask to be added
to the remote server as a friend.
Results
When the details that you have provided have been added to
the other application as a friend, and you have added the details
provided to you by the administrator of the other application, the
configuration is complete and users can integrate the data between Rational DOORS Web Access and the other application.
For
information about adding the information supplied by the other application,
see Setting up Rational DOORS Web Access to access remote applications with OSLC.
Note: If you move a Rational DOORS database
that contains OSLC links to a different server, the OSLC links in
the associated application will be broken. You must configure each
link from any associated applications to the new database server.
