How to validate integrity of Collaborative Lifecycle Management applications after performing an upgrade
Authors: SudarshaWijenayake
Build basis: CLM 4.x and later
Page contents
Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) applications such as Jazz Team Server (JTS), Rational Team Concert (RTC), Rational Quality Manager (RQM) and Rational Requirement Composer (RRC) may require to be upgraded to a newer version not only to receive enhancements, but also to address issues such as security vulnerabilities. Upgrade instructions for CLM applications are provided via the Interactive Upgrade Guide. This document on the other hand discusses test scenarios that one may utilize to validate the integrity of CLM applications after performing an upgrade. These test scenarios are listed below in ascending order depending on their complexity and length.
The diagnostics are capable of analyzing many aspects of the CLM application to quickly identify problems. Ensure all diagnostics complete successfully.
If you perform this step after completing the upgrade of just the JTS, then it is normal to see errors relating to inability to see the root services of the registered applications yet to be upgraded.
2. Repeat step 1.1 by navigating to the administrative console of the Rational Team Concert (RTC) application at http://hostname:9443/ccm/admin

9.6. Create an execution record in the test case as stated in the following document: Creating test case execution record
9.7. Run the newly created test case execution record and link a new defect in the RTC application to the execution result as stated in the following document: Running a test case execution record
9.8. Navigate to the project dashboard as stated in the following document: RQM project dashboard
9.9. Add new widgets to the dashboard and ensure both the existing and newly added widgets are operational. Please refer to the following document for information: Working with widgets in project dashboard
10. Navigate to the administrative console of the Jazz Team Server (JTS) application at http://hostname:9443/jts/admin, run all data collection jobs and ensure each data collection job in the JTS, RTC and RQM applications complete successfully. Please refer to the following document for details: Running data collection jobs
11. Revisit the project dashboards as in step 1.7.5, 1.8.5, and 1.9.8 and ensure all widgets are still operational.
Test Scenario 1
1. Navigate to the administrative console of the Jazz Team Server (JTS) application at http://hostname:9443/jts/admin, open the Diagnostics page by clicking the "Diagnostics" link in the left hand pane and run all diagnostics by clicking the "Run All Diagnostics" link as shown below.
The diagnostics are capable of analyzing many aspects of the CLM application to quickly identify problems. Ensure all diagnostics complete successfully.
If you perform this step after completing the upgrade of just the JTS, then it is normal to see errors relating to inability to see the root services of the registered applications yet to be upgraded.
