Use the Jazz™ project
administration interface to establish project associations between
CLM project areas and JIRA projects. This association of project areas
enables team members to create links from artifacts such as test cases,
requirements, and work items in one project area to artifacts in another
project area.
Before you begin
You must establish cross-server communication and approve
OAuth access requests before you do this procedure. Ensure that your
web browser preferences are not set to block pop-ups. In addition,
you must have existing JIRA projects to associate with CLM projects.
You
might also want to review the project associations that are possible
between JIRA projects and CLM projects. For details, see Using the JIRA adapter.
About this task
When associating JIRA projects to CLM project areas, the Rational Adapter for JIRA provides
services (such as requirements, change requests, defects, or quality
tasks) for the CLM project. For example, these services are the link
types you can establish from an artifact in the CLM project to a JIRA
issue. Additionally, the CLM project also uses its own services (such
as requirements management when you work in a requirements management
project) to support activities in the associated project area.
Procedure
- Log in to the Jazz server
by using an account that has Jazz Administrator
privileges.
- For Rational Requirements
Composer or Rational DOORS
Next Generation by using the default context root value, https://[fully
qualified hostname]:[port]/rm/admin
- For Rational
Team Concert by using the default context root value, https://[fully
qualified hostname]:[port]/ccm/admin
- For Rational
Quality Manager by using the default context root value, https://[fully
qualified hostname]:[port]/qm/admin
- For Rational
Team Concert projects or Rational Quality Management projects:
- On the Server Administration home page, click Project
Areas for one of the applications in the Application Administration
section.
- Select a project area from the Active Project
Areas list that you want to create associations for in
Change and Configuration Management or in Quality Management.
- For Rational Requirements
Composer projects:
- On the Server Administration home page, click Manage
Lifecycle Projects for one of the applications in the
Application Administration section.
- Select a project area that you want to create associations
for in Requirements Manager.
- Scroll to the Associations section.
- Click Add.
- In the Add Association window in the Application drop-down
list, select a target JIRA relationship that you identified when you
establish cross-server communication by using Friends (Outbound).
- If you are prompted to do so, log in to the target JIRA
server by using an account with administrator privileges. Entries
for the target JIRA server are displayed in the Artifact
Containers field. These entries correspond to JIRA projects.
- In the Association field, select
the association for the type of artifacts for which you want to establish
links. For more information about possible project associations
between JIRA projects and CLM project areas, see Using the JIRA adapter.
- For associations with Requirements Manager projects, select Uses
- Implementation Requests or Uses - Requirements
Change Requests.
- For associations with Rational DOORS Next Generation projects,
select Uses - Implementation Requests or Uses
- Requirements Change Requests.
- For associations with Quality Manager projects, select Uses
- Quality Management Tasks or Uses - Defects or Provides
- Related Change Request.
- For associations with Change Configuration Management projects,
select Provides Related Change Requests.
- Select an artifact container entry. As you select
options in the fields in this window, the selected link relationship
is described in the Preview section at the bottom of the window.
- Click OK.
- Repeat this procedure to add project associations between
CLM projects and JIRA projects.
What to do next
Users can now create links from artifacts in the local CLM
project area to issues in the target JIRA project, see
Using the JIRA adapter.
