In IBM® Rational® Focal Point™,
you can create and link to requirements that correspond to elements
in a bulk operation. You can handle many elements in one operation
instead of publishing elements one by one.
Before you begin
- In a view that shows projects with linked elements, configure
a view command for publishing data and associating links. For more
information, see Adding view commands for bulk operations on artifacts in Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management applications.
- You must have a user account in the CLM application.
- To publish elements to the Rational solution for CLM applications
version 4.0, you must add the com.ibm.rdm.fronting.server.AllowOSLCPutWithOutIfMatchHeader=true parameter
in the CLM_install_folder/server/conf/rm(context path)fronting.properties file.
Make sure to set this property even after you reinstall Rational solution for CLM.
Restriction: If the combined length
of the characters for the Title and Description attributes exceed
2000 characters, when creating artifacts on the Rational solution for CLM applications,
you must copy the content of the Title and Description to the title
and description fields of artifact manually.
About this task
You might link requirements to business need elements in
a project. The requirements are added to a project area in the Requirements
Management (RM) application in the Rational solution
for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM).

Procedure
- Open the project view that has a view command for creating
requirements.
- Select the element that links to the elements to create
requirements for.
- Click the Create artifacts and associate the
links to the CLM server icon
to create and link to the requirements.
If the login page of the RM application is displayed, log on by using
your RM application credentials.
- On the "Element selection" page, make
these selections:
- From the Attribute where the CLM servers
were configured list, select the Integration Link attribute
in which to store the link to the CLM artifact.
- From the Allowed project areas list,
select the project areas to store the links in.
Note: When configuring the Integration link attribute, only the
project areas that are mapped to a member group are listed in Allowed
project areas. If you are not part of a member group that
is mapped to the project area, that project area is not available
for you.
- Select the elements to create and link requirements
for by clicking the Add and Remove buttons.
Click Next.
- On the New Requirement page, specify
the attributes for the requirements. A new page is displayed for each
requirement unless you select the check box for using the currently
configured attributes for all new artifacts. Click OK.
Results
The result is shown on the
Bulk Publishing Result page.
You can click the link of a requirement to open it in the RM application.
