The Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration Change Management
(OSLC-CM) specification defines a lightweight, RESTful API for software
change management systems. It acts as a common language for Application Lifecycle
Management (ALM) tools. You can mix and match your choice of tools,
while maintaining an integration between them.
For more details, go to the OSLC-CM
website.
IBM® Rational® Change supports both
the OSLC-CM 1.0 and 2.0 REST API specifications.
With the OSLC-CM
REST API, you can work with other tools in the following ways:
- Integrate Rational Change
with OSLC-CM consumers, such as IBM Rational Quality Manager and IBM Rational DOORS®
- Integrate Rational Change
with OSLC-CM providers, such as IBM Rational Team Concert™ and IBM Rational ClearQuest®
- Expose CRs to RESTful web service consumers, such as IBM Rational Publishing
Engine
- Integrate your own tools and scripts with Rational Change
This API is separate from the existing SOAP-based web
services.
