You must have Super User or Schema Designer user privileges to add packages.

If possible, add all integrations first in a test environment before adding the integration to your production database. See Testing integrations for more information.

Warning: Be sure to plan carefully before adding packages. After you add a package to a schema, you cannot remove the package. You must delete all schema versions in which the package exists. You can delete schema versions only if you have not applied them to a user database.

To add an independent integration:

  1. In Rational ClearQuest Designer, make sure the schema you want to add the package to is checked in. To check in a schema, click File > Check In.
  2. Click Package > Package Wizard and install the desired package. See Applying package upgrades for detailed instructions.
  3. Validate the schema changes. See Validating schema changes for detailed instructions.
  4. Click File > Check In to save the schema changes. See Checking in a schema for detailed instructions.
  5. Apply the schema changes to the user database by clicking Database > Upgrade Database. See Upgrading a user database for detailed instructions.
  6. Configure the integrated application as needed. See the application's documentation for additional configuration needs.
