Use the adapter server administration interface to establish
friend relationships between the JIRA application, Requirements Management,
and Change and Configuration Management, and Quality Management applications.
Use this procedure to add the location information for each of the
CLM applications, and send a request to each CLM friend application.
Before you begin
Previous post-installation tasks are complete.
If
you are integrating with Rational® ClearQuest®, see Technote 1580379 for information about configuring
the friend relationships between Rational ClearQuest projects and the
JIRA application.
Important: If you have administrator
rights, you can automatically process server friend requests and approvals
between the JIRA server and the Jazz™ servers
by selecting the check box Attempt to friend the JIRA Adapter
from the remote application in the steps.
Review
the project associations that are possible between JIRA projects and
CLM projects to learn about what servers to friend, see Using the JIRA adapter.
Verify that your
Requirements Management applications, Change and Configuration Management
applications, Quality Management applications, and JIRA server are
started.
About this task
You add a friend relationship to the Change and Configuration
Management server, the Requirements Management server, and the Quality
Management server.
Procedure
- Point your browser to http://YourJIRAhostname:8080/
Log in to the JIRA server. Use an account that has administrator
privileges, if applicable.
- Click at the upper right of
the page.
- In the OSLC section at the lower left of the Administration page,
click Rational Adapter Home.
The Rational
Adapter for JIRA page opens.

- In the Add Friends section, click Friends -
(Manage Friend Setup). The Add Friend page
opens.
- In the Friends page:
- For Name, type the name that
you want to use to identify the JIRA friend application.
- To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Requirements Composer
that is hosted on a computer named rrc.example.com,
then you might use the name RRC on rrc.example.com
- To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Team Concert™ that
is hosted on a computer named rtc.example.com, then
you might use the name RTC on rtc.example.com
- To create a friend relationship with an installation of Rational Quality Manager that
is hosted on a computer named rqm.example.com, then
you might use the name RQM on rqm.example.com
- For Root Services URI, type the
uniform resource identifier for the Jazz application
server. For example, by using default context root
values,
- For Rational
Team Concert, https://fully qualified hostname:port/ccm/rootservices
- For Rational Requirements
Composer, https://fully qualified hostname:port/rm/rootservices
- for Rational Quality
Manager, https://fully qualified hostname:port/qm/rootservices
- If you have administrator privileges on the JIRA server
and the Jazz servers that you
want to friend, select the check box next to Request the
remote application to add the JIRA adapter as a friend. This option automatically requests and approves server friend
requests between the JIRA server and the Jazz servers.
A Consumers Inbound entry and a Friends Outbound entry are created
on the CLM server.
- Click Add. If you
selected the check box in the previous step, you are prompted for
login credentials for the CLM applications. The new friend server
is displayed in the Friend List section.
- Repeat step 5 to create
another server friend request.
Remember: Change
the name and root services URI for the new server friend request and
then click Add.
Results
A friend request exists between the JIRA application and a
CLM application.
What to do next
Approve each friend request only if you did not select
to automatically process server friend requests and approvals between
the JIRA server and the Jazz servers
by using the Attempt to friend the JIRA Adapter from the
remote application check box. For more information about
approving friend requests, see Approving an access request.
Otherwise, associate JIRA projects with CLM project areas, see Linking between JIRA projects and CLM project areas.
