Linking SCM files to DNG requirements and ETM test cases
Hi,
There are many link types in EWM that connect files to requirements, test case, test scripts etc. This indicates that ELM offers linking scm files to other ELM artefacts.
However, I see no option for linking my SCM files to DNG requirements In EWM SCM web client 7.1.0. I also tried EWM eclipse client 7.0.3 but Team->add related option not visible in package explorer view.
I enabled GC, created correct context for IBM DNG and IBM EWM components, set permissions and published SCM stream in TRS, yet no linking option visible in web client.
I understand that showing linked SCM files may not be visible in DNG; I will use JRS for reporting.
But how to connect an SCM file to DNG requirement?

It sounds like you're trying to link a requirement artifact to a specific line of code.
I don't think there is current ELM functionality to do this -- I could be wrong but I have not encountered this.
I recommend using a nomenclature in your source files. If there's a function that exists because of requirement 1234, then I think doing something like
//@REQ 1234
at least gives a 'soft' trace.
As a first step, I am trying to connect an SCM source file (e.g., abc.v) to a requirement.
I understand the ELM SCM does not offer function-level traceability. For C code, I could achieve function- level traceability though Rhapsody. Since Rhapsody does not support for C#, lab view, Verilog codes, I am trying soft "soft traceability" by linking requirement to SCM file.
