Adding Rational Asset Manager as an external friend to a Jazz server

For server applications that use the IBM® Jazz™ friend specification, such as IBM Rational® Team Concert, you can add the IBM Rational Asset Manager server as an external friend. By adding the server as an external friend server, you can place OpenSocial gadgets from the Rational Asset Manager application in an OpenSocial container on the Jazz server.

Before you begin

About this task

If you are configuring the integration with Jazz servers and you need the Rational Asset Manager server to request information from the Jazz server, seeAdding IBM Jazz servers as friend servers.

Procedure

  1. In the administrative section of the Jazz server or a server that uses the Jazz friend specification, add the Rational Asset Manager server as an external friend. For more information, see the product documentation for establishing friend servers.
    If you have administrative access to the Jazz server, you can add the Rational Asset Manager server as an external friend server.

    For example, depending on your setup, the process to add an external friend server might be as follows:

    1. In the Admin section of the Jazz server, click the Server tab.
    2. In the Configuration pane, click Cross-Server Communication. Alternatively, in the Communication pane, click Friends (Outbound) or External Friends and then click Add.
    3. In the Title field, type a descriptive name to describe the Rational Asset Manager server.
    4. In the Root Services URI field, type the root services URI for the Rational Asset Manager server, which is http://host_name:port/Rational_Asset_Manager_context_root/rootservices.

      For example: http://example.com:9080/ram/rootservices.

    5. In the Consumer or OAuth secret field and the Re-type secret field, type a consumer secret.
    6. Select the Trusted check box. Trusted consumers can share authorization with other trusted consumers and do not need user approval to access data.

      The server generates a provisional consumer key.

    7. Click Request Access or Grant access for the provisional key. A request for access is sent to the Rational Asset Manager server.
    After you add the Rational Asset Manager server as an external friend server, you must approve the request in Rational Asset Manager.
  2. Log on to the Rational Asset Manager web client as a repository administrator.
  3. Click Administration.
  4. In the Repository Administration sidebar, click Cross-Server Communication. In the OAuth Consumer section, an entry for the Jazz friend server is displayed.
  5. For the entry, click Approve.

Results

The other server can now request information from the Rational Asset Manager repository. You can add the included OpenSocial gadgets into OpenSocial containers on the other server.
