Configuring Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager

In order for Rational® Engineering Lifecycle Manager to view data from other products within the Rational solution for systems and software engineering several configuration steps must be completed.

Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager can be used to view data from other applications using the Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) specification. More information on OSLC integrations can be found here: Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration integrations.

Configuring OSLC for Rational solution for systems and software engineering

Jazz™ Team Servers can communicate with each other and share data by establishing a Friend relationship and configuring OAuth access. Although Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager does not share data that other tools can use, if you have multiple Jazz Team Server based tools, this information can be used to integrate them. For general information on this, refer to these topics:
Once you have configured the servers to share data, you need to link project areas. The association of project areas enables team members to create links from artifacts, such as test cases, requirements, and work items, in one project area to artifacts in another project area.

Detailed instructions on how to complete these steps for the products in the Rational solution for systems and software engineering are available here: Configuring OSLC consumers

Rational solution for systems and software engineering must be configured to integrate with the Jazz Reporting Service as described in: Configuring Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager as an OSLC consumer of the Jazz Reporting Service

Configuring OSLC for Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager

Once you have configured your Rational solution for systems and software engineering applications, there are additional steps required for Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager to display preview information for other applications and to allow users to create links from artifacts in one project area to another.

This configuration is described in: Establishing cross-server communication to enable Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager OSLC preview

Configuring the Lifecycle Query Engine

Once Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager is configured, you must set up access permissions for LQE, and configure each data source as a TRS provider for LQE.

This is described in detail in: Indexing your data with the Lifecycle Query Engine.
