Cannot see back links in ELM Application after a Project Import

Symptoms

After successfully importing a Jira Project, and creating an outgoing Collaboration link to an IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management artifact, there is no back link visible to Jira.

Conditions

Collaboration Link is created to a IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management application (7.0.2 or newer) with Configuration Management enabled and a Global Configuration is being used.

Solution

Cause

The importing process creates new identifiers for the associated Versions. The Global Configuration (in ELM) needs to point back to the right Versions Ids in order to see back links.
