Migrating Links from the Mercury Quality Center Defects Synchronizer for Rational ClearQuest
If you created links for the Mercury Quality Center Defects Synchronizer for Rational ClearQuest (the ClearQuest Synchronizer), used with
Quality Center 9.0 and earlier, you can migrate them to Quality Center Synchronizer using the ClearQuest Synchronizer Migration Tool.
The ClearQuest Synchronizer Migration Tool creates a compressed (.zip) file, which you can import into Quality Center Synchronizer in the same way as you import exported link data. For more information on importing link data, see “Importing Link Data” on page 106.
The resulting .zip file contains two XML files:
➤An XML file containing configuration data for the link, such as field mapping data and link execution scheduling data.
➤An XML file containing identity mapping data. This data is obtained by scanning the identity mapping data stored for the old link, stored in the Quality Center and ClearQuest databases. This scan may take some time.
