Use the Jazz™ project
administration interface to establish project associations between
CLM project areas and HP ALM projects. The association of project
areas enables team members to create links from artifacts in one project
area to artifacts in another project area. Artifacts include test
cases, requirements, and work items.
Before you begin
Friend relationships are set and OAuth access requests are
approved. Web browser preferences are not set to block pop-up windows.
The provided HP ALM project is downloaded or you have existing HP
ALM projects to associate with CLM projects.
You might also want
to review the project associations that are possible between HP ALM
projects and CLM projects. For details, see Using the HP adapter.
About this task
When you add associated HP ALM projects to CLM project areas,
the adapter provides services for the CLM project. Services include
requirements, change requests, defects, or quality tasks. For example,
these services are the link types you can establish from an artifact
in the CLM project to an HP ALM project. Additionally, the CLM project
also uses its own services to support activities in the associated
project area. For example, services such as requirements management
when you work in a requirements management project.
Procedure
- Log in to the CLM application 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
Team Concert projects:
- On the Application Administration page,
click Project Areas then Active
Project Areas.
- Click a project area from the Active Project
Areas page that you want to create associations for in
Change and Configuration Management.
- For Rational Requirements
Composer projects or Rational DOORS Next Generation projects:
- On the Application Administration page,
click Project Areas then Active
Project Areas.
- Click a project area from the Active Project
Areas page that you want to create associations for in
Requirements Management.
- Scroll to the Associations section.
- Click Add.
- In the Add Association window in the Application list,
select the Rational Adapter
for HP ALM application that you identified when you established cross-server
communication by using Friends (Outbound).
- If you are prompted to do so, log in to the Rational Adapter for HP ALM as an administrator.
Entries for the target server project areas are displayed in the Artifact
Containers field. The artifact container corresponds
to a project area on the selected server.
- 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 HP ALM projects and CLM projects, see Using the HP adapter.
.- For associations with Rational Requirements
Composer projects or Rational DOORS Next Generation projects,
select Provides Requirements or Related
Requirements.
- For associations with Change and Configuration Management
projects, select Provides Defects or Uses
Change Sets or 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. In
this example, the administrator is adding an association (linked project
area) in the JKE Banking Change Management project. That project provides
defect management to support testing activities in the JKE Banking_HP
project.

- Click OK.
Defects
in JKE Banking (Change Management) are linked to defects tracked in
the HP ALM project JKEBanking_HP.
- Repeat this procedure for project areas that you want to
link to HP ALM projects.
What to do next
Customize HP projects to integrate with CLM projects and
the HP adapter, see
