HP Quality Center Synchronizer 1.2 Checks Performed on Link Field Mappings

	Chapter 2 • Synchronizing at a Glance
Check Name	Check Description
Fields mapping	Checks that a field mapping is defined between the
defined	endpoints and that it can be obtained by the
	Synchronizer.
Consistency of	Checks that if a field mapping is defined from the
mapping and	endpoint, the link is set to handle record creation or
endpoint events	updates in the other endpoint. Also checks that if the link
	is set to handle record creation or updates in the
	endpoint, a field mapping is defined to the endpoint.

Checks Performed on Link Field Mappings

An integrity check performs the following checks on the field mappings you define for the link. The Synchronizer also performs these checks when you check the field mappings when you create or configure a link. Depending on the type of field mapped, not all of these checks are performed for every identity mapping.

Check Name	Check Description
Required fields	Checks that required fields in the destination endpoint
check	are mapped to a field in the source endpoint, or are
	assigned a constant value. If this is not the case, the check
	fails.
	In addition, checks that recommended fields in the
	destination endpoint are mapped to a field in the source
	endpoint, or are assigned a constant value. If this is not
	the case, the check passes with a warning.
Field existence	Checks that the field exists in the endpoint.
check
Field types match	Checks that if a mapping exists between fields of different
check	types, the values can be converted between the types.
Fields length match	For string type fields (String, Multi value list, Single value
check	list, User list), checks that the maximum length for values
	for each of the fields in a mapping is the same. If the
	maximum length is different, the check passes with a
	warning that some values may be truncated.
