View commands allow you to change
many artifacts with a single click, instead of repeating the same
operation for every element. If you are a workspace administrator,
you can set up view commands to handle bulk operations for artifacts
linked from IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ in Rational solution for Collaborative
Lifecycle Management (CLM) applications. With a view command, you
can link and create artifacts, remove links to artifacts, restore
links to artifacts or export a project and create corresponding work
items. You must set up view commands in a view that contains linked
elements, for example a project view or release view.
Before you begin
You must identify a suitable view to add the view commands
to.
Procedure
- Click .
- Click Add view command.
- Select the view to add commands to.
- On the "Add, edit or remove view commands" page,
make the following selections:
- From the Linked elements list,
select the Link list attribute that contains the linked elements to
create artifacts for.
- From the Attribute where the CLM servers
were configured list, select the Integration Link attribute
that is configured for the CLM project areas. The available attributes
are in the same module as the container attribute in the view.
- From the Command list, select
one of the following options:
- To create new requirements and link them to them to the linked
elements, select Create artifacts and associate the links
to the CLM server.
- To remove links to CLM artifacts, Remove the associated
links .
- To restore the last removed links to the CLM application server, Restore
the links that were last removed from the Jazz server .
- To create a project and corresponding elements as new artifacts
in a Change and Configuration Management application, Publish
project to the jazz server.
- To immediately update data in Rational Focal Point with
the latest changes made in the CLM applications, Synchronize
data with CLM Server. This view command is available in Rational Focal Point version
6.5.1.1 or later.
- To validate the broken links and take corrective actions, Validate
CLM Links. This view command is available in Rational Focal Point version
6.5.1.1 or later.
- Click Create.
Results
The view command is displayed on the
"Add, edit,
or remove view command" page. Go to the view and verify
that the command is available in the element toolbar.
Restriction: When links in the linked elements to the CLM artifact
are removed, the links from the CLM artifact to the linked element
in IBM Rational Focal Point are
still intact.
