8.10.3. Copying the Application ID to Clipboard

External tools integrated with IQ Server need to be configured with a public Application ID that identifies which application to use when evaluating components. You can speed the configuration process by copying the Application ID to the clipboard using the steps below.

To copy the Application ID to the clipboard:

  1. Click the Organization & Policies icon figs/web/clm-server-manage-app-org-icon.png on the IQ Server toolbar.
  2. Select an application in the sidebar.
  3. Go to the Actions menu and click App ID to Clipboard.

8.10.4. Changing an Application ID

The Application ID is a unique identifier used by external tools to integrate with IQ Server (e.g. Nexus IQ for Bamboo, IQ for IDEA, REST APIs, etc.) for performing component evaluations. If you change the Application ID, you must also reconfigure the external tool(s).

To change the Application ID for an application:

  1. Click the Organization & Policies icon figs/web/clm-server-manage-app-org-icon.png on the IQ Server toolbar.
  2. Select an application in the sidebar.
  3. Go to the Actions menu and click Change App ID.
  4. In the Change Application ID dialog, enter a unique identifier in the New Application ID text box.
  5. Click Change to save the new Application ID.
[Important]

Remember to reconfigure your external tools to use the updated Application ID.
