ALM - Request for Change Workflow

The following two request status are added to the workflow template:

• 5-Test Execution Completed

To create your own workflow based on the workflow template:

1. Customize the ALM - Request for Change workflow template by adding the following two request statuses to appropriate workflow steps as needed:

   • 3-Test Lab Setup Completed

   • 5-Test Execution Completed

   If the two request status do not exist, go to the Request Type Workbench and add two request status to applicable request types. For detailed instructions, see the Demand Management Configuration Guide.

2. Add necessary access grants and user groups to each of the modified steps.

• The QC/ALM Defect Information field group and its fields (see Table 6-4)

• The QC/ALM Info field group and its fields (see Table 6-5)

Note that the script does not update the field names.

Although the two field groups were renamed respectively since PPM version 9.20, upgrading an existing integration configuration does not upgrade the names of the field groups and their field names. They still remain the same as before. The new field groups and their fields apply to new integration configurations you add in PPM version 9.20 or later.
