Setting ClearQuest Defects as Duplicate

Quality Center Synchronizer cannot set the state of ClearQuest defects to Duplicate as ClearQuest requires the ID of the defect which is being duplicated to set the state of a defect to Duplicate. Quality Center Synchronizer is not able to determine from the Quality Center defect which defect is being duplicated.

To enable the Synchronizer to set the state of a ClearQuest defect to Duplicate, you must create a new state of type CHANGE_STATE and map defects to this state rather than to Duplicate.

To create a new state for mapping duplicate defects:

1Open the ClearQuest Designer.

2In the Actions window, add a new state, for example, TD_Duplicate.
