Connecting to multiple project areas

You can configure the ClearQuest® Connector to connect a ClearQuest user database to multiple Jazz™ project areas on one or more Jazz Team Servers.

An enterprise environment might consist of multiple project areas where each project area contains a team or teams that work on a specific component. Alternatively, an organization might designate project areas based on function, such as development, testing, documentation, and so on.

The users responsible for working on ClearQuest records might be distributed across these project areas. In this scenario, you want to be able to connect the ClearQuest user database to all of those project areas so that users can synchronize their work items with ClearQuest records.

For each ClearQuest record type that you enable for synchronization, you can filter the records to be synchronized by using a ClearQuest query. Queries are also the mechanism that you use to route records to specific project areas.

In the figure below, the ClearQuest Gateway uses queries to synchronize ClearQuest records with work items in three project areas, two on the Pacific Jazz Team Server, and one on the Caribbean Jazz Team Server.

This picture shows two Jazz Team Servers communicating with the ClearQuest Gateway. In between the Gateway and the Jazz Team Servers, queries route records to project areas in the two Jazz Team Servers.
