Configuring the Rational DOORS server

To integrate Rational® DOORS® version 9.4 and later and Rational Quality Manager, you must configure the Rational DOORS server to communicate with the Rational Quality Manager server.

About this task

Note: This topic applies to Rational DOORS version 9.4 and later. For information about integration Rational Quality Manager with Rational DOORS version 9.3 and earlier, see the related topic in the Rational DOORS version 9.3/9.4 documentation.

Procedure

  1. Log in to Rational DOORS as a database manager or as a custom user who has the power to manage the database.
  2. If you are running Rational DOORS version 9.5.1 and later, select File > Remote Services. If you are running a version of Rational DOORS that is after version 9.4 but before version 9.5.1, select the database database icon, right-click Properties, and then click the Remote Services tab.
  3. Add the Rational Quality Manager server to the server list:
    1. Click Add, and enter a name for the connection, for example, RQM.
    2. Enter the URL for the root services of the Rational Quality Manager server in the following format: https://host-name:9443/qm/rootservices. Use the fully qualified server name for server, for example: https://clm.ibm.com:9443/qm/rootservices
    3. Enter the consumer key and enter the consumer secret in OAuth secret. You made a note of these when you set up the Rational Quality Manager server.
    4. Click Register. The server is added to the list.
  4. Add collaboration links from Rational Quality Manager projects to the Rational DOORS database:
    1. In the Collaboration Links pane, click Add.
    2. Select the Rational Quality Manager server that you registered. If a security warning is displayed, click Yes.
    3. In the window that opens, log in to Rational Quality Manager.
    4. Select the project that you want to access from Rational DOORS, highlight the Validated by link type, and click Add.
    5. In Rational DOORS, the project is displayed in the Collaboration Links pane of the Remote Services window.
  5. Typically, a Consumer Key and an OAuth Secret are created when you added Rational DOORS as a friend to Rational Quality Manager earlier. If they were not created, create a Consumer Key and OAuth Secret for the server:
    1. If you are running Rational DOORS version 9.5.1 and later, select File > Local Keys. If you are running a version of Rational DOORS that is after version 9.4 but before version 9.5.1, select the database database icon, right-click Properties, and then click the Local Keys tab.
    2. Click Add.
    3. Enter the name of the connection for Rational Quality Manager.
    4. Enter the Consumer Key and the OAuth Secret. You made a note of these when you added Rational DOORS to Rational Quality Manager as a friend.
    5. Click Register, and then click Close.
    Rational Quality Manager and Rational DOORS are now configured to communicate with one another. Team members can create links between modules and individual requirements in Rational DOORS and test plans and test cases in Rational Quality Manager in the associated projects.
