To configure a Jazz™ project
area, you must create a synchronization rule for each ClearQuest® record type that you want to
synchronize with a Rational Team Concert™ item
type. You also must create an external repository connection.
About this task
Use the ClearQuest Connector
Setup Wizard to create an external repository connection and the initial
versions of synchronization rules. Then use the Synchronization Rule
editor in the
Rational Team Concert 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.
