In IBM® Rational® Focal Point™,
you can create and link to work items 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 to work items that correspond to business
need elements in a project. The work items are added to a project
area in the Change and Configuration Management (CCM) application
in the Rational solution
for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM).

Procedure
- Open the project view that has a view command for creating
work items.
- Select the element that links to the elements to create
work items for.
- Click the Create artifacts and associate the
links to the CLM server icon
to
create and link to the work items. If the login page of the CCM application
is displayed, log on by using your CCM application credentials.
- On the "Select elements to publish" 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 work items for
by clicking the Add and Remove buttons.
Click Next.
- On the New Defect page, specify the
attributes for the work items. A new page is displayed for each work
item 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 work item to open it in the CCM application.
