Guidelines for Defining an Alternate Root Folder in Quality Center

By default, the Synchronizer synchronizes all requirements in the Quality Center Requirements root folder.

You can specify an alternate root folder if you want to synchronize only a subset of the requirements in your Quality Center project. For example, you may want to synchronize multiple projects from the RequisitePro endpoint to different folders in one Quality Center project, as shown in the following illustration.

				RequisitePro Projects
Quality Center					Project1
Requirements
						Folder1
	RP_Project1						Req1
		Folder1					Req2
			Req1				...
			Req2
			...
	RP_Project2
			Folder1
			Req1		Project2
			Req2			Folder
			...				Req1
							Req2
							...

In the example above, the requirements in the RequisitePro endpoint’s Project 2 are synchronized with the requirements in the Quality Center RP_Project 2 folder instead of the Requirements folder.

Consider the following when specifying an alternate root folder.

➤The path you specify must replicate the exact hierarchy in Quality Center. For example: Requirements\MyProject (Note that Requirements is already defined for you in the dialog box.)

Tip: You can copy/paste each folder name to ensure exact spelling.

➤The path of the alternate root folder must be completely different from the path of any other link. For example, if you specify an alternate folder for one link, you can specify a sibling folder for a different link.
