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:
- Configure friend links from the Configuration Application to Change
and Configuration Management applications.
- Configure friend links from the CLM applications to Change and
Configuration Management applications.
- 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: - If you are working in a change set context in a CLM application:
From a project dashboard, on the banner, near the upper right of the
page, from the Current Configuration Context menu,
select Link to Change Request.
- If you are working in a workspace: From a project dashboard,
on the banner, near the upper right of the page, from the Current
Configuration Context menu, select Explore
Change Sets. In the Change Set Explorer view,
in the Actions column, click the Link
to a Change Set icon, and follow the instructions in the Link
to a Change Request window.
- In the Configuration Application, in the Configuration
Explorer view, open a configuration; then click the Change
Sets tab. In the Change Set Explorer view,
in the Actions column beside a change set,
click the Link to a Change Request icon.
Results
The change requests that you associate with the change set
are displayed in the following locations:
- On the Current Configuration Context menu,
when you hover over a change set configuration
- In the Change Set Explorer view, in the Change
Requests column
- In the change set editor, on the Change Sets tab
in the change set editor
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.
