Connecting to the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management application server

If you are an global administrator, you can set up the integration with the Rational® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) application servers. For IBM® Rational Focal Point™ and the CLM applications to communicate, you must establish an OAuth key for each application to access the servers. Also, you must create friend relationships to manage the list of cooperating servers.

Before you begin

About this task

Procedure

  1. From a CLM application administrator, obtain the user credentials and the consumer key and consumer secret that are configured for Rational Focal Point.
  2. In Rational Focal Point, click Application > Friends(Outbound).
  3. Click the Add friend icon Add friend.
  4. In the Add OAuth Friend window, add the CLM application details.
    1. Specify a name for the connection. For example: RTC1@example.com or RRC1@example.com.
    2. Specify the CLM application root services URL. Examples:
      • If you are connecting to the Change and Configuration Management application, version 2 (all releases), the root services URL is https://www.example.com:9443/jazz/rootservices.
      • If you are connecting to the Change and Configuration Management application, version 3 (all releases), the root services URL is https://www.example.com:9443/ccm/rootservices.
      • If you are connecting to the Requirements Management application, version 3 (all releases), the root services URL is https://www.example.com:9443/rm/rootservices.
    3. In the OAuth Consumer Key field, specify the consumer key that was created for Rational Focal Point in the CLM application server. The consumer key is formatted like this example: 670db08a94654b559ae87545a8ac5715.
    4. In the OAuth Secret field, specify the consumer secret. For example: FP2.
    5. Click Test Connection. The first time you test the connection, you must log on to the CLM application. The results of the test are displayed in the Add OAuth Friend window.
    6. Click Save.

What to do next

Add an attribute for storing links to artifacts in the CLM application. For information, see Adding and configuring attributes for storing links to artifacts in the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management applications.
