To increase traceability in the development lifecycle,
you can create links between change sets in the Configuration
Management 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
Management application
to Change and Configuration Management applications.
- Configure friend links from the Rational® solution for Collaborative
Lifecycle Management applications
to Change and Configuration Management applications.
- In the Rational solution for CLM application,
configure associations between the projects that contain the change
requests to link to and the projects that contain the change sets.
This content
applies to version 4.0.3 or later. To do actions on change sets, in the Configuration
Management application,
you must have permission to update which resources are part of a configuration.
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 lifecycle
management product: From the toolbar, click .
- If you are working in a workspace: Click . In the Configuration
Management application,
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
Management 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
Management 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 Editor view.
