Request Providers and Database Options

About request providers

A request provider is used to raise and manage tasks such as user stories, defects, and enhancements. You can configure request providers, such as Atlassian Jira, Micro Focus ALM Octane, or Micro Focus SBM, and use their requests instead of native Dimensions CM requests.

For details about configuring and using request providers, see the Dimensions CM Help Center.

- Only projects are active. Users can only create projects and perform operations available for projects. Any streams previously created in the database will not be visible.
