Using the integration with Rational ClearQuest MultiSite

When you configure the integration, you use IBM® Rational® Administrator to associate an IBM Rational RequisitePro® project and an IBM Rational ClearQuest® user database. If Rational ClearQuest is configured for MultiSite, the database replica that is configured for the integration in Rational Administrator is the master site for the integration.

In a MultiSite environment, you can create associations in a record that is mastered at a remote site by logging on at that site and associating the record with a Rational ClearQuest requirement; Rational RequisitePro requirements are unavailable at remote sites. It is not necessary to have mastership of the Rational ClearQuest requirement at the site where you make the association. After the remote site is synchronized with the master site for the integration, the association information is added to the Rational RequisitePro project during a scheduled batch refresh operation.

The integration in a MultiSite environment provides the following capabilities at the master site.

In Rational RequisitePro at the master site you can:

In Rational ClearQuest at the master site you can:
  • Associate a record with a Rational RequisitePro requirement (Windows® client only)
  • View Rational RequisitePro requirement properties
  • Refresh the association for an individual Rational ClearQuest requirement or other record

The integration in a MultiSite environment provides the following capabilities at a remote replica:

From Rational RequisitePro, which is configured at the master site, to information at the remote replica:
  • No access to changes until content is synchronized with the master site
In Rational ClearQuest at the remote replica:
  • Associate a record with a Rational ClearQuest requirement
  • View Rational ClearQuest requirements and record properties
