Linking to work items

You can associate work items in Rational Team Concert™ with issues in JIRA.

About this task

The Rational® Adapter for JIRA can be used to integrate Rational change management artifacts and JIRA artifacts, useful when you work with teams that use both Rational products and JIRA. You can link to a JIRA issue with a Related change request link, an Affected by defect link, or an Affects a plan item link.

This procedure uses the Related change request link type. It shows you how to link a change request from Rational Team Concert to a JIRA change request (also known as an issue), creating the JIRA issue as part of the link process.

Procedure

  1. Go to https://fully-qualified-hostname:port/ccm/web/projects/My Project, and log in with your user name and password credentials:
  2. Search for a story.
  3. In the story, click the Links tab, and in the Add menu, click Related Change Request.
  4. The Add Link window is displayed. Select your JIRA project. Then, click Create new and select Task. Click OK. If you are using Internet Explorer, you might be prompted to choose to view only secure content. You must click No.
  5. A new JIRA dialog opens. (Log in with your JIRA account if prompted.) Provide some sample data in the required fields, and click Create.
