Aliases

You can use an alias to identify all the workspaces, modules, views, elements, and attributes when you integrate Rational® Focal Point™ with other tools through Web Services 2.0.

With an alias, you can configure your own IDs rather than using the Rational Focal Point IDs. The default value is a random auto-generated Universally Unique Identifier (UUID). You can change the value, but it must be unique.

You can display and update the alias for the workspace and its modules, views, and attributes on the Alias page of the Configure menu. The alias for the workspace is listed at the top of the list of aliases. The aliases for the modules are listed according to the order of the modules. The aliases of elements are displayed in the Web Services API, not in the user interface.

To display and edit the aliases for views that are based on a module and for attributes in the module, expand the module. To edit the alias, double click the value of the alias. After you edit the value, click the Save icon next to the value.
