Dimensions CM DCR Projects Appear in the Wrong Section

If you are using Dimensions CM as a DCR provider, you must do some additional configuration to ensure that the Dimensions CM DCR projects and DU projects appear correctly in the Release Package and Projects views.

You must do the following:

  1. Modify the Dimensions CM provider properties file to specify the appropriate provider names for the DCR and DU providers.

  2. Modify the reports that underlie the User Interface elements for the project listings so that they filter using the new names.

See:

Modify the Dimensions CM Provider Properties Files

Modify the Dimensions CM provider file, such as dm_qlarius.properties, so the file specifies a different provider name for each of the types of elements Dimensions CM provides.

Example

dm_qlarius.properties

# requests provider definitions

requests.provider.name = DCR_DIM_QLARIUS

requests.provider.description = Dimensions Requests Provider for QLARIUS product

 

# deploy units provider definitions

deploy.units.provider.name = DU_DIM_QLARIUS

deploy.units.provider.description = Dimensions Deployment Unit Provider for QLARIUS product

 

# filter requests by statuses

FILTER_REQUEST_BY_STATUSES = IN QA,IN PROGRESS,UNDER WORK,IN TEST

 

# filter deploy units by statuses

FILTER_DEPLOY_UNITS_BY_STATUSES = VERIFIED,DEPLOYED,CAPTURED

Modify the User Interface Reports

So that the User Interface project listings pick up the new report names, you must modify the reports used for this purpose.

In the Rlm Aux process app, change the following reports to use the values in the search filters given:

  1. Modify the report DCR Projects Assigned to a Release Package.

    Modify the report search filter similarly to the following example, using a condition for the Provider Name to match your entry in the requests.provider.name value.

    1. Select Use Basic Conditions.

    2. Set the conditions to:

    Related package in (Query at Runtime)

    and

    Provider Name contains "DCR_"

  2. Modify the report Dimensions CM Projects Assigned to a Release Package.

    Modify the report search filter similarly to the following example, using a condition for the Provider Name to match your entry in the deploy.units.provider.name value.

    1. Select Use Basic Conditions.

    2. Set the conditions to:

Use Basic Conditions

Related package in (Query at Runtime)

and

Provider Name contains "DU_"
