Deploying the ClearQuest Connector

The ClearQuest® Connector uses a server process, the ClearQuest Gateway, to establish communication between a ClearQuest database and a Jazz™ server.

The ClearQuest Gateway can be connected to only one ClearQuest user database or user database replica. Although the figure below shows the ClearQuest Gateway, user database, and Jazz Team Server deployed on different computers, that is not a requirement. You can install all components on one computer.

You can configure the ClearQuest Connector so that the ClearQuest Gateway synchronizes ClearQuest records with work items in multiple project areas on one or more Jazz Team Servers.

This picture shows a ClearQuest Gateway in between a Jazz Team Server and a ClearQuest user database. Arrows between the Gateway and the Jazz Team Server and between the Gateway and the ClearQuest user database indicate that HTTP is used as the communication protocol.
