Overview
Usage
Configuration PropertiesOverview
The IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) plugin provides integration with the IBM EWM server. The plugin imports work items from an IBM EWM server and provides a single view consisting of all the work items in HCL DevOps Velocity value stream map. Data between the IBM EWM server and the HCL DevOps Velocity server is synchronized every five minutes.
Note: IBM Engineering WorkFlow Management (EWM) was formerly called IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC). The name change occurred beginning with Version 7.0.
Compatibility
IBM RTC Version 6.0.5, 6.0.6.1 is required to run the plugin.
EWM Version 7.0 or later is required to run the plugin.
History
The following table describes the changes made in each plugin version.
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 1.1.28 | Clarifying delimitation problem for properties used. ( Example: Comma separated list ) |
| 1.0.2 | Initial release |
Usage
To use the IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) plugin, the plugin must be loaded and an instance created before you can configure the plugin integration. Configuration properties are defined using the product user interface or a JSON file.
Integration type
The EWM plugin supports scheduled events integration. There is only one scheduled event which is described in the following table.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| SyncEWMIssuesEvent | Queries the IBM EWM server for new or updated work items. If a work item already exists, it is updated. |
Integration
There are two methods to integrate the plugin:
- Using the user interface
- Using a JSON file
Using the user interface
- From the Plugins page, click Settings > Integrations > Plugins.
- Under the Action column for the plugin, click Add Integration.
- On the Add Integration page enter values for the fields used to configure the integration and define communication.
- Click Save.
Using a JSON file
The JSON file contains the information for creating a value stream and integrating with the IBM Engineering WorkFlow Management (EWM) server. The following table describes the information for the creating a HCL DevOps Velocity value stream map.
- Download the value stream map. The value stream map is a JSON file used to define integrations.
- Edit the JSON file to include the plugin configuration properties.
- Save and upload the JSON file. This replaces the current JSON file with the new content.
- View the new integration on the Integrations page.
Configuration Properties
The following tables describe the properties used to configure the integration. Each table contains the field name when using the user interface and the property name when using a JSON file.
- The General Configuration Properties table describes configuration properties used by all plugin integrations.
- The Bitbucket Configuration Properties table describes the IBM Engineering WorkFlow Management (EWM) configuration properties that define the connection and communications with the IBM Engineering WorkFlow Management (EWM) server. When using the JSON method to integrate the plugin these properties are coded within the
propertiesconfiguration property.
Some properties might not be displayed in the user interface, to see all properties enable the Show Hidden Properties field.
