Use the IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® web client to create a JIRA
issue and associate it with a ClearQuest change
request.
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 JIRA web server, described in
Technote 1580379.
