If you are using a process such as Scrum that requires
certain fields in a work item to be set in order to deliver change
sets associated with that work item, then you must create a work item
template for the ClearCase® Synchronizer to
use for the work items it creates and associates with changes it synchronizes.
About this task
During each synchronization, work items are created for
all change sets that are brought over from Rational® ClearCase.
The work item template is used to generate these work items.
The status of the work item template is inherited by any
work items that are generated from it. The ID of the work item template
is not copied to the new work items. IDs are assigned to the new work
items by the server when they are first saved.
Note: The work items
that are generated from this template are for reference only and require
no further action once they are created. For this reason, you may
want to select Resolved from the State property
drop-down list so that the generated work items do not appear as open
items in other areas of the process.
The following fields
of a work item template are copied, but then can be overwritten with
values supplied by the synchronizations:
- Summary
- Description
- Created by
- Owned by
The following fields of a work item template must not
be filled out:
