Use the Rational® Adapter
for HP ALM server administration interface to establish cross-server
communication between Rational Adapter
for HP ALM, the HP ALM server, Rational Requirements
Composer, and Rational Team Concert™. Use this procedure to add the location information
for each of the CLM applications, and send a request to the friend
application.
Before you begin
After installing the Rational Adapter
for HP ALM and completing the set up of the adapter, you must establish
friend relationships between the Rational Adapter
for HP ALM, the HP ALM server and the servers used by Rational Requirements Composer (the Jazz™ Team Server), and Rational Team Concert (Change
and Configuration Management server).
If you are integrating with Rational ClearQuest®, see Technote 1580379 for information about configuring
the friend relationships between Rational ClearQuest projects and the
HP ALM application.
Important: If you have administrator
rights you can automatically process server friend requests and approvals
between the HP ALM server and the Jazz servers
by selecting the check box Attempt to friend the HP ALM
Adapter from the remote application in the steps.
You
might also want to review the project associations that are possible
between HP ALM projects and CLM projects to get an idea about what
servers to friend. For details, see Using the HP adapter.
About this task
Add friend relationships to the Jazz Team
Server and Change Configuration Management server to establish cross-server
communication with the HP ALM server.
Procedure
- Point your browser to https://[fully qualified
hostname]:[port]/hpqm. Login
to the Rational Adapter
for HP ALM server. Use an account that has administrator privileges,
if applicable.
- On the Application Administration page, click Friends
(Outbound). The Friends page opens.
- In the Add Friend section:
- For Name, type the name that
you want to use to identify the HP ALM friend application. To create
a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Requirements Composer that is hosted
on a computer named rrc.example.com, then you might
use the name RRC on rrc.example.com. To create a
friend relationship with an installation of Rational Team Concert that
is hosted on a computer named rtc.example.com, then
you might use the name RTC on rtc.example.com
- For Root Services URI, type the
uniform resource identifier for the Jazz application
server. For example, using default context root values, for Rational Requirements composer, https://[fully
qualified hostname]:[port]/rm/rootservices and
for Rational Team
Concert https://[fully qualified hostname]:[port]/ccm/rootservices
- If you have administrator privileges on the HP ALM server
and the Jazz servers that you
want to friend, select the check box next to Attempt to
friend the HP ALM Adapter from the remote application. This option automatically requests and approves server friend
requests between the HP ALM server and the Jazz servers.
- Click Add. If you
selected the check box in the previous step, you are prompted for
login credentials for the CLM applications. The new friend server
is displayed in the Friend List section.
- Repeat step 3 to create
another server friend request.
Remember: Change
the name and root services URI for the new server friend request and
then click Add.
Results
From the Rational Adapter
for HP ALM server administration interface you created server friend
requests between Rational Adapter
for HP ALM, the HP ALM server, Rational Requirements
Composer, and Rational
Team Concert. If you had administrator privileges you automatically
processed server friend requests and approvals between the Rational Adapter for HP ALM,
the HP ALM server and Rational Requirements
Composer, and Rational
Team Concert.
What to do next
Approve each friend request, see Approving an access request.
You only need to approve each friend request if you did not select
to automatically process server friend requests and approvals between
the HP ALM server and Rational Requirements
Composer, and Rational
Team Concert by using the Attempt to friend the HP
ALM Adapter from the remote application check box.
