Using the HP adapter

The Rational Adapter for HP ALM supports integration of requirements and change management work in Rational CLM with HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) test management and requirements capabilities.
Note: Rational requirements management is provided by the IBM® Rational DOORS® Next Generation or IBM Rational Requirements Composer products. The capabilities of the CCM application in CLM are provided by IBM Rational Team Concert. Requirements management capabilities that are provided by the RM application in CLM are licensed as Rational DOORS Next Generation or IBM Rational Requirements Composer.

The adapter includes a web interface that you use to work with links among artifacts and to view HP ALM artifacts.

The following table lists Rational RM and HP ALM artifacts and linkages. The association type must be enabled in the adapter's configuration to use these links.
