IBM Rational® Focal Point™ (RFP) provides Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) integrations through its support of the Open Services Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) change management and requirement management specifications. Product manager (PM) captures and describes high level stakeholders' requests (i.e. Business Requirements/Needs) in RFP. PM does prioritization of captured high level stakeholders' requests using RFP's prioritization feature. Then PM selects Business Requirements/Needs, which need to be further analyzed by a Business Analyst, and creates new requirements in IBM Rational Requirements Composer (RRC) which are further elaborated in RRC and implemented in IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC). The reporting capability implemented in this release is really very useful for PM as PM can generate Traceability report to find out what’s the current status of a RFP Requirement/Business Need to related Requirements in RRC(Elaboration) to related Project status in RTC(Implementation) and Test Cases and Execution Records with related defects in RQM(Testing) at any point of time.

Configuration (use sentence-style capitalization)

I) Register OAuth Consumer in CLM Server First step is to register IBM® Rational® Focal Point™ as an incoming consumer in the CLM application server. In CLM application consumer key is generated for each application (RRC, RTC, RQM) which is used to identify IBM Rational Focal Point to the CLM application server.
Procedure: # Login to CLM sever with administrator credentials. # Go to CLM application server configuration page. e.g. for the Requirements Management application for CLM, go to https://example.com:9443/jts/admin and click “Jazz Team Server - Server Administration”. # In the navigation bar, click Consumers (Inbound). # Register the consumer by providing data for Consumer Name and Consumer Secret. # It will generate a consumer key. Make a note of the consumer secret and consumer key as you need it to add the application server as a friend in Rational Focal Point.

II) Register Friend (Outbound) in CLM Server

Procedure: 1. This is required viewing Rich hover data in CLM server. 2. In the navigation bar, click Friend (Outbound) and Click Add. 3. Register the consumer by providing data for Name, Root Services URI (e.g. http://example.com:8080/fp/resources/rootservices), OAuth Secret and click Create Friend. 4. It will generate a consumer key. Make a note of the consumer secret and consumer key as you need it to add the application server as a friend in Rational Focal Point.

III) Configure CLM Server as a friend in RFP using OAuth based Authentication

Procedure: 1. Go to Application > Friends(Outbound) and Click Add Friend. 2. Provide connection name, CLM Root Services URI (e.g. for RRC http://example.com::9443/jts/rootservices) and OAuth consumer key/secret you got from CLM. 3. Use “Test Connection” button to validate CLM server credentials. 4. Save the connection. 5. More than one CLM servers can be configured as friend.
