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.
