Rational Focal Point and the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management

IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ provides collaborative lifecycle management integrations through its support of the Open Services Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) change management and requirement management specifications. You can configure Rational Focal Point to work with Open Services Lifecycle Collaboration - Change Management (OSLC-CM) providers such as the Change and Configuration Management (CCM) application in the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM). You can also configure the product to work with Open Services Lifecycle Collaboration - Requirement Management (OSLC-RM) providers such as the Requirements Management (RM) application in the Rational solution for CLM.

This book describes the CLM integration available in Rational Focal Point version 6.5.1 or later. For CLM integration in Rational Focal Point version 6.5.0.x, see CLM_integration_650.html.

With this integration, you can use the Rational solution for CLM products to plan, implement, detail, and deliver solutions. For example, in a product management context, you can define release contents in Rational Focal Point and use the CCM application and RM application to support development.

After you integrate with the CLM application servers, you can work with CLM applications in the following ways:

To connect to a project area in a CLM application server and link to work items or requirements, you must configure a Integration Link attribute type for a module.
