Linking change sets to change requests

To increase traceability in the development lifecycle, you can create links between change sets in the Configuration Application and change requests in a Change and Configuration Management application.

Before you begin

Before you can associate a change set with a change request, a Jazz™ Team Server administrator must complete the following steps:
  1. Configure friend links from the Configuration Application to Change and Configuration Management applications.
  2. Configure friend links from the CLM applications to Change and Configuration Management applications.
  3. In the CLM application, configure associations between the projects that contain the change requests to link to and the projects that contain the change sets.

About this task

You can link a change set to one or more change requests; conversely, you can link a change request to one or more change sets.

Procedure

Complete one of the following steps:

Results

The change requests that you associate with the change set are displayed in the following locations: To see the details of a change request, you can click the link, or hover over the change request identifier, or click the twistie beside it.

In the corresponding Change and Configuration Management application, a corresponding link is created from the request to the change set.

You can delete the link from either the change request in the Change and Configuration Management application or the change set editor in the Configuration Application.
Tip: To open the change set editor, click a change set name in the Change Set Explorer view, or click the Change Sets tab in the Configuration Explorer view.
