Deleting links with the ClearQuest web client

Use the IBM® Rational® ClearQuest® web client to delete associations between ClearQuest records and HP ALM test cases and defects.

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 have 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 a ClearQuest change request to an HP ALM test case or defect, complete the following steps. The associated backlink is deleted from the HP ALM test case or defect as part of the process.

  1. Using the ClearQuest web client, modify the record in which you want to delete the association between the record and the HP ALM test case or defect.
  2. Click the Links tab.
  3. In the Links control, under the Tested By Test Case or Related Change Request heading, click the delete icon next to the link that you want to remove.

    Here is an example of deleting a test case under the Tested By Test Case heading:
