After you connect two servers by using friend links, you
must associate two projects on these servers before you can create
resource links.
Before you begin
You must be logged in to the
Design
Management Server with
an account that has Jazz™ Project
Administrator privileges. An example of the URL for the Jazz Team Server page is https://
fully_qualified_host_name:9443/jts/admin.
A
friend relationship must exist between the servers of the linked projects.
About this task
When two projects are associated with each other it means
that resources in one can invoke and select resources in the other
and create a link. You can associate a Design
Management Server project
with one or more Rational® Requirements Composer, Rational Team Concert, Rational Quality Manager, Rational DOORS®,
or other Design
Management Server projects.
For
example, you can associate design management projects with requirements
management projects. In the design management project area, you can
deploy a predefined link type that team members use to link design
resources with requirements artifacts. All links that are created
by using the predefined Derived From link type in the design management
project are visible as Derives links in the requirements management
project. You can create and view links from the design management
or from the requirements management application in theRational solution for Collaborative
Lifecycle Management (CLM).
You can also place your cursor over a link to view a summary of the
linked resource or artifact, including its properties.
Procedure
- On the Server Administration page,
in the Application Administration section,
under Design Management, click Project
Areas.
- On the Application Administration - Design Management page,
from the Active Project Areas list, click a
project area to configure. The administration page
for the project area is displayed.
- Scroll to the Associations section;
then click Add.
- In the Add Association dialog box, complete the following
steps:
- From the Application list,
select a target Jazz application
to link to.
- From the Association list, select
the association that corresponds to the application that you selected
in step 4.a. For
applications that do not use a specific association type, you can
select any value from this list.
- From the Artifact Containers section,
select the artifact container, or project, that this Design
Management Server project
links to; then click OK.
- In the upper-right corner of the page, click Save.
What to do next
After you create an association to a project on another server,
you can create links between resources in this project and project
areas on the target server. You can also create custom link types;
for example, you can define a new link type called
Derived that
indicates that a model element is derived from another resource.
