Deleting links with the Rational Adapter for HP ALM

Use the Rational® Adapter for HP ALM web application to delete associations between HP ALM test cases and defects, and IBM® Rational ClearQuest® records.

Before you begin

These instructions apply only to ClearQuest web environments that are configured with the OSLCLinks package. You can determine whether the OSLCLinks package is applied to your schema by the availability of the Links tab in a displayed record. The instructions assume that you configured cross-server communication and project relationships between the ClearQuest web server and the HP ALM web application, described in Technote 1580379.

Procedure

To delete a link in an HP ALM test case or defect to a ClearQuest record, complete the following steps. The associated backlink is deleted from the ClearQuest record as part of the process.

  1. Using the Rational Adapter for HP ALM web application, find the test case or defect that contains the ClearQuest record link that you want to delete.
  2. Find the linked ClearQuest change request under the Development Items section, or the linked ClearQuest defect under the Related Change Requests section. Then, click the delete icon next to the link that you want to remove.

    Here is an example of deleting a linked ClearQuest change request under the Development Items section:
