Global Configurations

Starting with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) 7.2, Link Indexing is provided directly by IBM Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE). There is no longer a need to install and use IBM Link Index Provider (LDX). In that context, instructions provided in this page should be realized in LQE rather than in LDX.

If Global Configurations are needed, you need to:

  1. Make sure ${local-app} and IBM Global Configuration Management applications become friends of each other.
  2. Confirm with IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management administrators that IBM Link Index Provider (LDX) application is installed in their instance [5].
  3. Register a consumer bound to the TRS functional user for LDX application. This is done by following the ${anchor-title-register-consumer} procedure with following data:
    Field Value
    Name A name of your choice, e.g. LDX
    Key Leave it empty, system will create a key for you.
    Secret Whatever you want that you don't forget.
    Confirmation The same as Secret field.
    Functional User The same user configured in the TRS Functional User section.
    Trusted checked
  4. Ask IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management administrator to register a new data source for each required ${local-app} feed using the above LDX consumer credentials.
