Associate WI category with multiple team areas..


Susan Wu (4712116) | asked Feb 11 '10, 9:55 a.m.
Hello,

Currently WI category can only be associate with one team area, one of my client wants to be able to associate multiple team areas to one category.
At the time of work item creation, user should then be able to select his/her team and not simply defaulted to what the category selected is associated with (display all teams associated with selected category and let the user select the team). Is that doable? Thanks.

Thank you for using IBM,

WRT explicitly associating a work item to particular team area, the
approach I suggest people use is to just create a category named "team
area", and then under that category, create a subcategory for each team
area (with the same name of that team area). You of course would only
include team areas that you want work items explicitly assigned to.

Cheers,
Geoff

You can associate multiple teams with a single category when you have
multiple timelines. A category can have a different team assigned per
timeline.

his/her team and not simply defaulted to what the category selected
is associated with (display all teams associated with selected
category and let the user select the team). Is that doable?
Thanks.

You cannot choose the team area explicitly. It is determined by the
category/Filed Against and the timeline from the Planned For field.

But there are requests that ask for choosing a team area explicitly.

Hello,

According to the following documentation in info center, it states that to prepare integration with RTC, RRC and RQM, these servers need to run on machine with different host name and ip address:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v2r0m0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.help.common.jazz.calm.doc/topics/c_prepare_calm_integrations.html

Does it mean they can not be installed into one single machine, configured to run with different port if they need to be integrated with each other? If so, any particular reason why they need to be installed into different machine? One of my client is looking to set them up into one single Window server, and integrate them in the future, is that doable?

He also wants to integrate RQM with their CQ servers...but these two servers are located in different physical locations (like CQ server in Chicago, and RQM in RQM in Bay Pines, FL.) will that raise network performance issue after these two servers are integrated? Thanks for any response in advanced.

Currently, RTC, RRC, and RQM all want to use the same port number.
A high priority task for the C/ALM project is to allow RTC, RRC, and RQM
to all be installed on the same machine. You can do this today, by
changing the port numbers used by 2 of the three servers, but that
approach is currently rather manual and susceptible to user-error, so we
don't recommend it for customer use.

If you want to try to play with it, there are some instructions we use
internally at:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CALMSmokeTest
but as indicated above, we do not recommend this for customer use.

Cheers,
Geoff

Great.. thanks for your response Geoff.. any comment on their concern of integrating RQM and CQ, which are hosting in different physical locations? will that raise performance concern? I personally don't think it should.. as long as these two servers are configured properly to be connected effectively, there should not be performance concern in the integration piece?

Thanks,

That is correct. The C/ALM integration between RQM and CQ mostly
consists of asking the CQ web server to display a work item, so as long
as you have a reasonable performance from the RQM server to the CQ web
server, there shouldn't be any performance issues in having the machines
be in different physical locations.

Geoff
