About Synchronizing at a Glance

The Synchronizer enables you to synchronize data between Quality Center and other applications.

You create synchronization links between Quality Center and another application to manage the synchronization between them. Synchronization links define which data is synchronized and how it is synchronized. For more information on synchronization links, see “Synchronization Links” on page 35.

After you create a synchronization link, you run an integrity check to validate the link and to highlight problems that may occur during synchronization. For more information on integrity checks, see “Integrity Checks” on page 37.
