If you are an global administrator,
you can set up the integration with the Rational® solution for Collaborative Lifecycle
Management (CLM) application servers. For IBM® Rational Focal Point™ and
the CLM applications to communicate, you must establish an OAuth key
for each application to access the servers. Also, you must create
friend relationships to manage the list of cooperating servers.
Before you begin
Remember: If you rename the Rational solution for CLM server,
you must change the server name in Rational Focal Point also.
After renaming the Rational solution for CLM server,
clear the Rational Focal Point cache
(click ), rename the
server, and clear the cache again.
Procedure
- From a CLM application administrator, obtain the user credentials
and the consumer key and consumer secret that are configured for Rational Focal Point.
- In Rational Focal Point,
click .
- Click the Add friend icon
.
- In the Add Friend window, add the
CLM application details.
- Specify a name for the connection. For example: RTC1@example.com or RRC1@example.com.
- Specify the application root services URL. Examples:
- If you are connecting to the Change and Configuration Management
application, version 2 (all releases), the root services URL is https://<hostname>:<portnumber>/jazz/rootservices.
- If you are connecting to the Change and Configuration Management
application, version 3 (all releases), the root services URL is https://<hostname>:<portnumber>/ccm/rootservices.
- If you are connecting to the Requirements Management application,
version 3 (all releases), the root services URL is https://<hostname>:<portnumber>/rm/rootservices.
Note: If the hostname or port number of the Rational solution for CLM applications
changes, you must update the Root Services URL.
When you update the root services URL, all the links that pointed
to the old URL updates to the new one. This note is applicable only
for Rational Focal Point version
6.5.2 or later.
- In Security Type, select OAuth
Consumer Key and specify the consumer key that was created
for Rational Focal Point in
the CLM application server. The consumer key is formatted like this
example: 670db08a94654b559ae87545a8ac5715. Specify
the consumer secret in the OAuth Secret field.
For example: FP2.
- Click Test Connection. The first
time you test the connection, you must log on to the CLM application.
The results of the test are displayed in the Add OAuth Friend window.
- Click Save.
