Link validity in Engineering Lifecycle Management applications
Link validity is a status on a link between artifacts to indicate whether the contents of two artifacts meet the intended meaning of their link. Learn about using this information to achieve consistency across, and propagate changes through, linked data.
For IBM Engineering Test Management (Engineering Test Management or QM) applications only: Before you can view link validity status information, you must have configuration management enabled for the project. If your project does not use configuration management, you can enable suspect link traceability for the project. For more information, see Suspect traceability.
Note: If you enabled configuration management in all your Engineering Lifecycle Management applications, enable link validity in both IBM Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS® Next
(DOORS Next or RM) and IBM Engineering Test
Management (Engineering Test Management or QM) applications. Starting from 7.0.0 release suspicion profiles are no longer supported for
DOORS Next projects that do not use configuration management. You must enable
link validity in the DOORS Next application. In Engineering Test Management,
use Suspect traceability for projects that do not use configuration management and enable link
validity for projects that use configuration management.
