Collaboration links
You create collaboration links from a Rational® DOORS® Web Access object or module view to artifacts in change management, quality management, requirements management, and design management applications in the Rational solution for CLM and other lifecycle applications. Collaboration links support traceability across project repositories in different applications.
Before you can create collaboration links in Rational DOORS Web Access, the web server and the Rational DOORS database must be configured. For more information about configuring the database, see Integrating requirements data with other data types using OSLC.
After the integrations are configured, you can create and follow links between the products. These links are called collaboration links.
There are these types of collaboration links:
- Implemented by link for defects and other work items in Change Management applications, such as IBM® Rational Team Concert™.
- Validated by link for test artifacts in Quality Management applications, such as IBM Rational Quality Manager.
- References link for artifacts in Requirements Management applications, such as Overview of Rational DOORS Next Generation and IBM Rational Requirements Composer.
- Refines, Satisfies, Trace links for models and resources in design management applications.
- View Rational DOORS artifacts in Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager. The Administrator can download and deploy the DOORS Requirement Management content package to see DOORS 9 artifacts in Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager views. To download the package, see Managing project content. You can also download the package from Deploying the DOORS Requirement Management content package.
