Both, the ${local-app} ${term-deliverable-singular} and the Global Configuration (GC) must be linked to each other. From ${local-app-connector}, associating a global configuration to ${term-deliverable-indefinite-singular} also creates the association from the global configuration to the ${term-deliverable-singular}, provided the IBM Global Configuration Management (GCM) user used by the ${local-app} ${term-project-singular} administrator has the Add or remove links privilege. However, as a GCM global configuration owner, you may want to control the referenced ${local-app} ${term-deliverable-plural} on your own.

Preconditions to manage ${local-app} ${term-deliverable-plural} from GCM:

• GCM and ${local-app} are friend applications each other.
• The consumer key used by GCM and declared in ${local-app-connector} is trusted and has a functional user assigned.

Associating a ${local-app} ${term-deliverable-singular} on a Global Configuration.

1. Open a global configuration page, click the Links tab and click Edit.
2. Click Add Link and select the Release link type.
3. On the opened Add Releases dialog, open the From combo and select the ${local-app} application.
4. Select one or more ${term-deliverable-plural} to add, and click Select.
5. Click on the Save button.

If everything went OK, the ${local-app} ${term-deliverable-singular} will be listed below the Release type.

Dissociating a ${local-app} ${term-deliverable-singular} from a Global Configuration.

1. Open a global configuration page, click the Links tab and click Edit.
2. Locate the ${term-deliverable-singular} to dissociate and hover its row.
3. Click on the cross gray icon on the right.
4. Click on the Save button.

Limiting ${term-deliverable-singular} links by enforcing project area associations

GCM enables restricting which ${local-app} ${term-project-plural} can be selected when adding ${term-deliverable-indefinite-singular} link. As a GCM server administrator, you may configure GCM to require explicit project associations:

1. Open the GCM application's Advanced Properties administration page.
2. Set the Project area associations are required for release links property to true, and then click Save.

As a GCM project administrator, you may then add project associations for ${local-app}:

1. Open a GCM project area administration page.
2. In the Associations section, click Add.
3. In the Add Association dialog box, select the ${local-app} application.
4. Select the Uses - Configurations option in the Associations menu.
5. Select a ${local-app} ${term-project-singular} and click OK.
6. Click Save.

By completing this procedure, the next time the Add Releases dialog is open, only the ${local-app} associated ${term-project-plural} will be listed on the From combo.
