Add pull requests into ALM Octane (technical preview)

You can use a PUT operation to inject pull requests related to your backlog items from your SCM system into ALM Octane.

Note that this can also be done directly using the Jenkins plugin, as described in Track pull requests in your SCM system.

Flow

To manually inject pull requests to the ALM Octane server: 

  1. Authenticate and sign in as a user with the necessary permissions.

  2. Inject the pull requests using the pull requests custom resource into ALM Octane.

  3. Check the status of the PUT operation.
