You must configure Rational® DOORS® so that data can be exchanged
across the integrations.
Before you begin
Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web
Access support the integration of lifecycle application based on the
implementation of Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)
specifications. Perform the steps below to configure Rational DOORS as
a provider for the Requirements Management domain and as a consumer
of other lifecycle domains.
Contact the administrator of the
remote server that you want to integrate with and request an
OAuth
Consumer Name and
Consumer Secret,
and the
Root Services URL for the server.
Note: You
cannot add a remote server that uses a self-signed certificate for
SSL.
You also need to give the administrator of the remote
server a Consumer Key, OAuth Secret and
the Root Services URL for your Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web Access configuration. Instructions
for generating the key and the secret are given below.
Procedure
- Log in to Rational DOORS as a database manager or
a custom user who has the power to manage the database.
- Add the OAuth Consumer Name provided
by the remote server administrator to the list of servers that Rational DOORS can integrate with:
- Select .
- In the Server List pane, click Add and
complete the fields using the information that you were given by the
remote server administrator.
- Click Register. The
server is added to the list.
- To change application path mappings when remote servers
are renamed, click Server Renames. Add or remove application
paths.
- In the Collaboration Links pane, click Add.
- Select the remote server that you registered and browse
to the target project. You might be prompted to log in
to the remote server.
- Click Add to complete the integration
with the project.
- Create a Consumer Key and OAuth
Secret for the remote server:
- Select .
- Select Add, complete the fields,
and register the consumer.
- Give the remote server administrator 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.
When the local key
that you have provided has been added to the remote server as a friend,
the integration configuration is complete and users can integrate
the data in the two servers.
Note: If Rational DOORS and
the integrated application are installed on the same server, and that
server is running on Windows Server
2008, the list of projects might not be listed in the Service Providers
list when you use the integration. This occurs if Internet Explorer
Enhanced Security Configuration is enabled with default settings on Windows Server 2008 and both
applications are installed on the same machine. Windows Server 2008 is not a supported operating
system for the Rational DOORS client.
