RQM Linked Files column NOT displaying SCM file links
RTC 6.0.3 update:
Link SCM-controlled files to other CLM artifacts for traceability
STATES: "You can now create links between SCM-controlled files in Rational Team Concert and other Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) artifacts, such as requirements in Rational DOORS Next Generation, test scripts in Rational Quality Manager, or other SCM-controlled files to provide full traceability from user requirements to implementation to test results. "
It is possible to use eclipse to create a link between the RQM artifacts (Test Scripts, Test Case Results and Test Suite Results) and the eclipse source file. From Eclipse it is possible to see these links and access the artifacts. In RQM for each of these artifacts there is a "Linked Files" column in the list but this column is blank (there is nothing in the side bar that displays a link either).
It is important to note that the help indicates the link should be displayed ( See Below - from help ).
Question:
Is there something in the configuration that allows this linked files column to display these links or is this function not working properly?
Linking test artifacts with Rational Team Concert files
You can create related resource links between any file stored in Jazz source control and Rational® Quality Manager test scripts, test case results, and test suite results. Links are established through the Rational Team Concert™ client.
Before you begin
- Configuration management must be enabled.
- Install Rational Team Concert client.
About this task
To create links from Rational Quality Manager Test Artifacts and files under Rational Team Concert source control, you need to select a global configuration context for the operation. The selected global configuration context must contain configurations with source and target artifacts.
Procedure
- In the Rational Team Concert client, open the Package Explorer view, select the file that you want to associate with your test artifact; right-click, then click Team > Add Related Artifacts.
- In the Select Relationship window, select the artifact from the list of supported relationships- Test Case, Test Script or Test Case Result, and click OK.
-
In the Artifact Link window, select the target artifacts and click OK. After you create a link, check in the file.
Note: This task can not be done through the Web client. Though you can view the links on the Web client.
- In the Rational Quality Manager application, you can view the new links under Linked Files. If you click the link, it will take you to the Rational Team Concert Web client to view the file. The Linked Files field is also available in the Test Script, Test Case Result, and Test Suite Result table views. You can see the linked files for each artifact resource in the tables. The file link is also visible in the Related Files section in the artifact editor's right sidebar.
Results
One answer
The link will only be visible in RQM if that link (which is stored in RTC) exists in the RTC stream that contributes to the current global configuration for your RQM web view.
So after you have created the link and checked it in to the RTC workspace, you will need to deliver the RTC change set that contains this new link to the RTC stream that participates in the global configuration.
