Fetching information from the CLM system

You can retrieve details about work items, such as their total estimate value and time spent values, by using the XPathValueFetcher business rule. The XPathValueFetcher business rule queries work items in the Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) system.

Before you begin

Procedure

To configure an attribute to fetch work item information from the CLM system:

  1. Click Configure > Attributes.
  2. Select the module that contains the CALM link attribute and that requires an attribute to fetch more information from the CLM system.
  3. Click Add Attribute.
  4. Select the attribute type based on the type of value that you fetch from the CLM system. For example, to fetch values from the estimate field in Rational® Team Concert, you can use integer attribute type.
  5. Specify a name and description for the attribute.
  6. In the Default value field, specify the XPathValueFetcher business rule in the following format:
    =XPathValueFetcher('CALM link attribute',"URL parameters","XPath expression","Global User ID")
  7. Click OK.
