You can change a connection from one Rational® RequisitePro® project
to another. This removes all links between requirements that were
linked in the previous project. You can then manage and import requirements
with the new connection.
Procedure
- Open the project in Rational Requirements Composer and click
the Administration tab.
- In the Rational RequisitePro connections
area, click Edit Connection.
- In the Edit RequisitePro Connection window, do one or both
of the following:
- Change the entry in the Server field.
Test the connection to the new server.
- Remove the entry in the Project field
and click Browse to select a different project.
- Click Next.
- (Optional) At the Synchronization Options page,
select check boxes to enable the options:

- Click Finish.
Results
When you change a connection to a project, you can expect
the following results in the previously linked projects:
- All links are removed between the integrated requirements. The
requirements in the projects in both tools are now completely independent
from each other.
- All requirements and attribute groups remain in Rational Requirements Composer.
- All requirements and requirement types remain in Rational RequisitePro.
- If an integrated requirement was based in Microsoft Word in Rational RequisitePro, you can
now edit the requirement text in Rational Requirements Composer.
- If an integrated requirement was managed in Rational Requirements Composer, you can
now edit the requirement text in Rational RequisitePro.
What to do next
After configuring the new integration, you can synchronize
the Rational RequisitePro requirement
types with Rational Requirements Composer attribute
groups. See Synchronizing attribute groups and requirement types. This enables you to use the integration
to associate requirements and update attribute values in both tools.
Use
the Manage Requirements option to add Rational Requirements Composer requirements
to the Rational RequisitePro project.
See Adding a requirement to Rational RequisitePro.
Use
the Import Requirements option to import Rational RequisitePro requirements
into Rational Requirements Composer.
See Importing requirements from Rational RequisitePro.
