ClearQuest Connection Properties
The following settings are available when connecting to a ClearQuest
endpoint. For more information on defining the connection settings to
endpoints, see “Creating Links” on page 45.
➤ User name. The user name for a ClearQuest user. This user must have one or
more of the following event permissions: defect creation, defect
modification, and defect deletion. The permissions needed depend on the
event options defined in the Events tab.
➤ Password. The password for the user you specified.
➤ Database. The ClearQuest user database that contains the data you want to
synchronize with Quality Center.
➤ SchemaRepository. The schema repository containing the schema for the
type of ClearQuest entity you want to synchronize.
ClearQuest Mandatory and Recommended Fields
Quality Center Synchronizer assigns one of the following levels to each
field: Mandatory, Recommended, and Optional. For a ClearQuest endpoint,
Quality Center Synchronizer assigns the level as follows:
➤ Mandatory. The field is required for records in the Submitted state.
➤ Recommended. The field is not required for records in the Submitted state,
but is required for records of some other state.
➤ Optional. The field is not required for records in any state.
Important: When you create a record in ClearQuest with a particular state,
you must assign values to all fields that are required for that state.
Quality Center Synchronizer can create records in ClearQuest in any state,
even without assigning values to all required fields for the state. However, to
avoid the creation of records in ClearQuest that do not have values for all
required fields, it is highly recommended that you map all Recommended
fields in ClearQuest to fields in Quality Center.
