Integrating : Focal Point® and the Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management : Integrating with the Change and Configuration Management application : Validating the CLM links
  
Validating the CLM links
After publishing the artifacts to the CLM application, if you remove the artifact link or delete the artifact in the CLM application, the reports in Focal Point® display broken links. You use the Validate the CLM Links feature to view all the broken links of all the elements in a view and take corrective action.
Before you begin
Publish the artifacts from Focal Point® to the CLM application.
Create the Validate the CLM Links view command for the view. For more information, see Adding view commands for bulk operations on artifacts in Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management applications.
