Registering Rational Focal Point as an inbound consumer in a CLM application

Before you can link to artifacts in application project areas of the Rational® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM), you must register IBM® Rational Focal Point™ as an incoming consumer in the CLM application server.

Before you begin

You must have administrator credentials for Rational solution for CLM.

About this task

Show Me

When you registerIBM Rational Focal Point as a consumer in the CLM application server, you must enter a consumer secret to get a consumer key. The consumer key is a generated value used to identify IBM Rational Focal Point to the CLM application server. The consumer secret is a phrase used to establish the ownership of the consumer key. The consumer key and consumer secret can be described as the application equivalents of account name and password for users. For more information, see Configuring OAuth consumers in the Rational solution for CLM information center.

Procedure

  1. Complete one of the following steps:
    1. For the Requirements Management application in the Rational solution for CLM, go to https://example.com:9443/jts/admin and click Jazz Team Server - Server Administration or click Manage Server for Rational solution for CLM V4.0.
    2. For the Change and Configuration Management application in the Rational solution for CLM, go to https://example.com:9443/ccm/admin.
  2. In the navigation bar, click Consumers (Inbound).
  3. Register the consumer.
  4. Make a note of the consumer secret. You need the secret to add the application server as a friend in Rational Focal Point.
  5. Copy the consumer key and store the key. You need the key to add the application server as a friend in Rational Focal Point

What to do next

Add the CLM application server as a friend in IBM Rational Focal Point. For information, see Connecting to the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management application server.
