Linking requirements artifacts

You can associate Rational® requirements artifacts with JIRA issues.

About this task

The Rational Adapter for JIRA can be used to integrate Rational requirements artifacts and JIRA artifacts. This integration is useful when you work with teams that use both Rational products and JIRA. You can link to a JIRA issue with either a Tracked by link or an Implemented by link.

This example shows you how to create a Tracked by link between a Rational requirement to a JIRA issue, creating the JIRA artifact as part of the link process.
