Creating collaboration links

You can create collaboration links from Rational® DOORS® objects to artifacts in change management, quality management, requirements management, and design management applications in the Rational solution for CLM and other lifecycle applications. You can create collaboration links using the Link menu, the object properties sheet, or drag-and-drop.

Before you begin

The integration to these applications must be configured using OSLC data sharing, as described in Integrating requirements data with other data types using OSLC.

About this task

Use the collaboration link type that is associated with the integrated application that you intend to link to:
Note: Links to modules and objects in Rational DOORS might originate in external applications. When you open a module that is associated with a project in an external application, you might need to log in to the application repository. The module must access the associated repository to discover and display links to the Rational DOORS objects.
The following procedure uses the Validated by link type as an example. The procedure is similar for other link types.

Procedure

  1. Select Link > New Validated by. When you select New Validated by, the available Service Provider list is displayed. Select a service provider from the list.
  2. On the New Collaboration Link window, select Select artifact to link to an existing artifact, or select Create artifact to create an artifact in the target service provider. Click Confirm.
  3. Select an artifact from the list, and click OK. The collaboration link is created.
