Choosing TRS feeds for Lifecycle Query Engine

If your IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) applications are registered to a different Jazz® Team Server (JTS) than Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE), you must choose which tracked resource set (TRS) feeds to configure as data sources for LQE. The table in this topic shows what each TRS feed contains, and helps you decide what to configure.

About this task

If LQE and your lifecycle management applications share the same JTS, and if you ran the setup wizard, the TRS feeds are discovered automatically. You can select what you need.

  • If you upgraded from version 5.0.2 and use Quality Management (QM) and Requirements Management (RM) data sources, you must add the process TRS feeds for these applications as data sources, and then reindex to pull in the new RDF triples.
  • If you upgraded from a 6.x release, or if you installed the products for the first time and ran the setup wizard, the TRS feeds are automatically discovered and added as data sources.
