Enabling filtering of work item relationships with incompatible releases

Edit online

For any configuration-enabled IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Management application, such as IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® Next or IBM Engineering Test Management (Engineering Test Management), you can decide whether to see all incoming relationships from work items to requirements in DOORS Next, and test artifacts in Engineering Test Management regardless of the IBM Engineering Workflow Management release that is associated with such relationships in a specific global configuration context.

Enabling this property excludes the work item relationships with incompatible releases in a global configuration context, and also makes Report Builder consistent with the incoming relationships. You can use the Administration page of the corresponding Engineering Lifecycle Management application to configure this property.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Administration page of the Engineering Lifecycle Management application that is registered with the Jazz Team Server by pointing your web browser to the following URL:

    https://fully-qualified-hostname:9443/application-name/admin

    Remember: The fully-qualified-hostname is the hostname along with the DNS domain reference of the machine on which the Engineering Lifecycle Management application is installed, and the application-name is rm, qm, ccm, or gc.
  2. In the Configuration section, click Advanced Properties.
  3. Go to the Links Component section and locate the Exclude work item relationships with incompatible releases property.
    To view more information about the property, hover over the property name.
  4. To enable the Exclude work item relationships with incompatible releases property, click the property name, or click Edit. Then, from the Current Value menu, select true.
    Note: The default value of the Exclude work item relationships with incompatible releases property is set to true to preserve the fixed behavior from prior releases. You can change the setting of this property if you want to turn off the filtering to show all incoming links from work items in DOORS Next and Engineering Test Management regardless of the Engineering Workflow Management release association.
  5. Click Save.
