Fields the Integration Enables in ALM Entities
This section describes the initially disabled fields in ALM defects and requirements that you may need to enable to support the integration with OpenText PPM request types. Fields in ALM that are related to OpenText PPM are not initially enabled.
Note: The integration automatically populates these ALM defect or requirement fields from data in OpenText PPM. These are not mappings you establish between fields in OpenText PPM and ALM. The integration updates some ALM fields on an ongoing basis as indicated.
In addition, the Attachments tab in ALM lists URLs for all of the attachments to the OpenText PPM request. Clicking one of the links opens the OpenText PPM request (after login).
