Migration Notes and Limitations

The following notes and limitations apply when you migrate links to Quality Center Synchronizer from the ClearQuest Synchronizer using the ClearQuest Synchronizer Migration Tool:

➤You must run the ClearQuest Synchronizer Migration Tool on the same machine as the ClearQuest Synchronizer is installed.

➤You should not make any changes in the ClearQuest and Quality Center projects included in a ClearQuest link between the time of the last synchronization using the ClearQuest Synchronizer and the first synchronization using Quality Center Synchronizer.

➤Scheduling data from the ClearQuest Synchronizer link is migrated to Quality Center Synchronizer. However, when you import the link into Quality Center Synchronizer, the link is assigned to run manually only. To run the link automatically, you must edit the link’s settings. For more information on editing settings for a link see “Editing Synchronization Link Settings” on page 99.

➤Only the first e-mail notification address for the ClearQuest Synchronizer link is migrated to Quality Center Synchronizer.

➤The option to ignore HTML formatting from the ClearQuest Synchronizer link is not migrated to Quality Center Synchronizer.

➤Mappings between ClearQuest multi-line string fields and multi-value fields, and the Quality Center Description field are not migrated to Quality Center Synchronizer. For example, mappings from the Notes_Log, Keywords, Note_Entry, and Symptoms fields are not migrated. You must recreate equivalent mappings in Quality Center Synchronizer.
