Chapter 3 • Creating Synchronization Links
64
The Synchronizer maintains the hierarchical requirements tree structure
during synchronization, based on the master endpoint. Consider the
following ways in which the Synchronizer handles the parent/child
relationship between requirements during synchronization:
➤ When a new requirement is created in the master endpoint, and the
requirement is the child of requirements that were not previously
synchronized, the parent requirements are also created in the other
endpoint. If a filter is defined, the parent requirements are synchronized
even if they do not match the filter.
➤ If a requirement is moved within the requirements tree of the master
endpoint, it is moved accordingly in the other endpoint.
➤ If you selected an alternate root folder for requirements synchronization in
the Filters tab, a requirement that you move out of the specified root folder
is handled as a deleted requirement.
➤ If a parent requirement is deleted in the master endpoint, and the option to
delete corresponding records in the other endpoint is selected, the parent
requirement and all child requirements are deleted in the other endpoint.
➤ When a deleted parent requirement is recreated in an endpoint, the child
requirements are also recreated.
To set event options for requirements synchronization:
1 Verify that you are working in edit mode. For more information, see
“Editing Synchronization Link Settings” on page 99.
2 Under Mapped Subtypes, select the mapping you want to configure and
click Configure.
Alternatively, in the Links list, expand a requirement link, select the
requirement type mapping, and click the Events tab.
