To configure a Jazz® project area, you must create a
synchronization rule for each ClearQuest® record type
that you want to synchronize with a IBM® Engineering Workflow
Management (EWM) item
type. You also must create an external repository connection.
About this task
Use the ClearQuest Synchronizer Setup
Wizard to create an external repository connection and the initial versions of synchronization
rules. Then use the Synchronization Rule editor in the EWM Eclipse
client to modify the generated synchronization rules to include additional mappings. In most cases,
you must edit the synchronization rules to specify how to set the Category property of work items.
In the predefined process templates, such as Scrum, the Category property is a required field in
work items. Therefore, during incoming synchronization, the Category property must be set. The
Category property appears as the Filed Against field in the Work Item editor
and Synchronization Rule editor. The wizard creates the external repository connection with
outgoing synchronization disabled because you have not finalized your synchronization rules. After
you modify the synchronization rules, edit the external repository connection properties to enable
outgoing synchronization.
