Linking to new artifacts

Through Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (C/ALM) integration, you can create links to new artifacts in other Jazz-based products that are configured for cross-server communication.

Before you begin

Before you can perform this task, C/ALM integration must be configured. For more information, see Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management (C/ALM) and Integrating products based on Jazz technology.

Procedure

  1. Open a requirement in Rational Requirements Composer.
  2. Expand the Links section in the sidebar, and click the down arrow by the Create Link icon.
  3. Select the link type that corresponds to the integrated Jazz-based product; for example, select Implemented By to link to artifacts in Rational Team Concert or Validated By to link to artifacts in Rational Quality Manager.
  4. In the linking window that opens, select a project area and click Connect to repository. Enter your user name and password for the Jazz repository. You only need to log in to the repository once in every Rational Requirements Composer session.
  5. In the window that opens, click Create New.
  6. Enter required and optional information for the new artifact and click OK.

What to do next

You can now hover over the link in the Links section of the sidebar to view a summary of the associated artifact, or click the link to open the artifact in the related product.
