Enable Integration with Other Products

You can enable integration with the following tools:

• JIRA
• HP Quality Center
• CA Software Change Manager

Follow these steps:

1. Click Administration, and from Configuration, click Global Configuration.

   The Global Configuration page appears.

2. Select the products for which you want to enable integration:

   Integrate with JIRA

   Specifies whether integration with JIRA is enabled or not. If selected, a View in the JIRA field appears on the detail page of an issue that is imported from JIRA.

   JIRA URL

   Defines the URL for the JIRA server for issues created in JIRA and imported into CA Clarity™ Agile using the Issue Sync Service. If the issue is synchronized with JIRA, the View in JIRA field on the detail page of an issue displays this URL. You can click the URL to view the issue in JIRA while logged in CA Clarity™ Agile.

   Example: http://jira.ca.com/browse/ (where jira.ca.com represents the hostname and browse represents the directory where the issue resides).

   Integrate with Quality Center

   Specifies whether integration with Quality Center is enabled or not.

   Integrate with CA Software Change Manager

   Important! To integrate, install and configure CA Software Change Manager. See CA Software Change Manager Implementation Guide and CA Software Change Manager Administration Guide for more information.

   Requirement Change Management

   Specifies whether the Requirement Change Management is enabled or not. If selected, CA Clarity™ Agile allows you to submit requirement change requests for approval.

   Note: This is not a product integration.

3. Save your changes.

Disable Integration with other Products

At any time, you can disable the integrations with other products.

Note: Clearing the integration options on the Integration page only hides the fields that are related to the tools. This action has no impact on the synchronization jobs that run in the background. Packages, issues and cases continue to be updated from the tools. To disable the integrations completely, disable the synchronization jobs from the other products.

See the CA Clarity™ Agile Integration Guide for more information.
