You can import work items from IBM® Rational® Team Concert as
initiatives. During the import process, work items of the type that
you specify are imported as initiatives. Additionally, all child work
items of the type that you specify are imported as changes that are
related to the parent initiative.
Note: When you import
work items as initiatives, all child work items are imported but only
one level of hierarchy is preserved. Child work items that are of
the type that you specify are imported as separate initiatives.
About this task
Restriction: The integration implementation
is unidirectional and for informational purposes only. You can view
and import work items into IBM UrbanCode Release,
but you cannot edit them in the application. You must update work
items in Rational Team Concert.
You
set up the integration in IBM UrbanCode Release.
You can create a separate integration for each Rational Team Concert Project.
Note: You
can retrieve work item updates from the Rational Team Concert server
manually by clicking Run Integration when you
want the most recent information from Rational Team Concert in IBM UrbanCode Release.
Or you can configure IBM UrbanCode Release to
poll the Rational Team Concert server
automatically on a set frequency. You can set the frequency between
every 30 minutes and once a day. IBM UrbanCode Release can
automatically poll the Rational Team Concert server
for updates to multiple projects in parallel.
Procedure
- In Rational Team Concert,
create a query for the project area.
- In IBM UrbanCode Release,
