Changing of OSLC Scheme

An OSLC scheme is assigned to the ${term-project-singular} you manage by the server administrator. A scheme is a set of rules to prevent or allow link creation given an OSLC Remote Application, registered as a friend application, and its resource types. The assigned scheme is displayed above the table of associations.

You may change the scheme assigned to the ${term-project-singular} by clicking the Edit icon on the right of the current scheme.

Caution: Changing the OSLC Scheme may imply several changes in OSLC behavior for users. Do this only upon agreement with the server administrator or after conscientiously checking and understanding the scheme attributes differences.

Opening the Artifact Type Mapping

Similarly to the OSLC scheme, the ${term-project-singular} is associated with an Artifact Type Mapping. This mapping determines how ${local-app} ${term-artifact-plural} are exposed as OSLC resources. Both the associations and the Artifact Type Mapping determine the available link types for ${local-app} ${term-artifact-plural}. To navigate to the corresponding Artifact Type Mapping, simply click on its name link after the Artifact Type Mapping Scheme label. The text Custom is displayed, in parentheses in the name link, if the Artifact Type Mapping has been customized or Default otherwise.

Adding an Association

1. In the Associations page, click the Add Association button on top right.
2. Fill out the form in the Add Association dialog according to the following field descriptions:

   Field	Required	Description	Notes
   Friend Application	Yes	The OSLC Remote Application.	Contains the catalog of artifact containers.
   Domain	Yes	The association domain.	Defines the available link types to create from the ${local-app} ${term-project-singular} .
   Artifact Container	Yes	The artifact container(s) to enable OSLC Links with.	Choose one or several artifact containers among the ones available to the OSLC Remote Application logged-in user.

3. Click on the Add Association(s) button.

If everything went as planned, the dialog will be closed and the new association(s) will be displayed in the table.

Notes:

• When you fill the Domain field, if you hadn't previously started an OSLC Remote Application session, a pop-up window will appear with an authentication page. Please make sure your browser did not prevent the opening of the pop-up window (if it does it will display a warning notification) and provide valid user credentials.
• You can search artifact containers with the Search container by name input field.
• Below the Artifact Container field there is a short description that allows you to verify which type of linking will be enabled by adding the selected association.

Deleting an Association

1. In the Associations page, choose the association you want to delete and click the delete icon located on the last column of the table.
2. Confirm your decision by clicking the OK button in the confirmation dialog.

If everything went OK, the chosen association will be deleted from the system and it will no longer appear on the table. You will no longer be able to create new links with the associated artifact container, but existing links will remain functional.
