Module 4: Editing synchronization rules
In this module, you will learn how to edit synchronization rules to specify additional mapping details. After you finish using the Rational® ClearQuest® Synchronizer Setup Wizard, you need to edit the generated synchronization rules to specify additional mapping details.
Learning objectives
After completing the lessons in this module you will understand the concepts and know how to do the following tasks:- Assign a role with permissions to edit synchronization rules to
the
cqconnectoruser account - Edit the project and defect record type synchronization rules to specify how to set the work item category
- Edit the defect record type synchronization rule to specify additional value mappings for enumeration fields
Time required
This module should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.- Lesson 4.1: Assign a role with necessary permissions to the ClearQuest Synchronizer user
In this lesson, you will learn how to assign a role that has certain permissions to a user account. The Jazz® user account for the Rational ClearQuest Synchronizer that you created with the ClearQuest Synchronizer Setup Wizard must be assigned to a role that has Item Connectors permissions. - Lesson 4.2: Edit Project synchronization rule
In this lesson, you will learn how to edit the Project synchronization rule to map the Project record type to the Category item type. Because the predefined process templates, such as Scrum, require an entry in the Filed Against field (the Category property), you must edit the synchronization rules to specify how to set the value of this field during incoming synchronization operations. One way to set the category property is to map the name of a stateless record, such as Project, to the category property. - Lesson 4.3: Edit the Defect synchronization rule
In this lesson, you will learn how to edit the Defect synchronization rule to map the Project field in the Defect record type to the Filed Against field (Category property) in the Defect work item type. You will also specify additional property and value mappings that the ClearQuest Synchronizer Setup Wizard was unable to create.
