Associate links between 2 RTC Project Area
![]() Hi,
Customer is looking to create the "Defect" in ProjectA in RTC and then assign to another ProjectB within RTC. I am not seeing the option to link Defect in ccm/admin project area property to associate it. We can only associate Defects link to RQM or RRC. Is there any way we can do the associate links between RTC project area? Thanks,

You can use various link types for that.
Please note, the links don't have any built in behavior. Please note, parent/child effort rollup does not work across a project area boundary. Comments Thanks for reply Ralph. I think cross-project plan will be the option to share my DEFECTs from projectA to projectB. We may need to association on each project area in RTC to achive this. May be associate link type will be "provide: Related change Request". I do not see "Provide: Defects" or "Uses: Defects" associate link within RTC Project Areas. But I can "Provide: Defects" or "Uses: Defects" associate link from RQM/RRC. How can we get "Provide: Defects" or "Uses: Defects" associate link within RTC?
Thanks Customer looking to create the "Defect" in one ProjectA and then assign that to projectB so team on ProjectB will work on it so how we can achieve this. You have to create the work item in the project area where it is needed. Work items live within a project area. See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/RTCProcessFundamentals for an overview how RTC works.

One would need to understand what exactly the customer means by "assign a defect to another project area".
If "assign" means "link the defect to a work item in the other project area", then that can be done using one of the OSLC links discussed in the other answers (and "cross-project plans" provide some limited functionality around having the defect affect the information displayed about that plan in that other project area). If "assign" means "set the filed-against property so the defect is actually assigned to a team area in that other project area", then that can only be done by first moving that defect to that other project area. |

Thanks Ralph. I understand completely now and its help me a lot to discuss with customer for the best practice.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.

Is both RTC project areas located in different servers / repositories?
Hi Alexandre.
Both RTC project area in same server. Answer for your question is YES. Here is simple explanation. We want to create the Defect in Project_A in and then assign to another team, which are in Project_B in Same RTC instance.
Thanks,
Hi Naveen,
Can you please let us know the reason of doing it.
Do you have any specific reason not been using from single project area ?

Hi Arun,
Customer want to share the work items to another team from projectB so that team will hold that defects but should be track from projectA.
Thanks
