In 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.
Make sure to set this property even after you reinstall Rational solution for CLM.
You can skip this step for Rational solution for CLM applications version 5.0 as they do not have the fronting.properties file.
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
1 Open the project view that has a view command for creating work items.
2 Select the element that links to the elements to create work items for.
3 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.
4 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.
▪ 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.
5 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.
6 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.
