Through Collaborative Application Lifecycle Management
(C/ALM) integration, you can create links to existing artifacts in
other Jazz-based products that are configured for cross-server communication.
About this task
You can create C/ALM integration links from any artifact
type in Rational Requirements Composer.
Collections can link to test plans in Rational Quality Manager and
iteration plans in Rational Team Concert.
Procedure
To link to an existing artifact using the C/ALM integration:
- Open an artifact in Rational Requirements Composer.
- Expand the Links section in the sidebar, and click the
down arrow at the Create Link icon.

- 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.
- In the linking window that opens, select a project area
and click Connect to repository, and 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.
- In the window that opens, click Choose Existing.
- Select an artifact type and enter an artifact ID or text
for searching the project area.
- Select an artifact from the Matching list
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.
