Guidelines for Working with Rational ClearQuest
Before you begin using Quality Center Synchronizer with ClearQuest, make
sure that you follow these guidelines to customize your Quality Center
project and ClearQuest database:
➤ In ClearQuest, the Submitter field and the Submit_date field are given
default values when an entity is created. It is recommended that you map
the corresponding Quality Center fields to these fields to make sure that
they contain the correct data. If these field are set as Read only, it is
recommended that you set them to Mandatory to enable you to map data to
them.
➤ ClearQuest’s default configuration imposes restrictions on the permissible
state changes. This may prevent the Synchronizer from being able to
synchronize the defect. For more information, see “Configuring the
Permissible State Changes” on page 112.
