Chapter 3 • Creating Synchronization Links

Description

 

 

 

 

Recommended

It is strongly recommended that you map this field as

 

 

the destination of a mapping from a field in the other

 

 

endpoint, but you are able to run synchronization tasks

 

 

on the link if you do not create the mapping. A

 

 

recommended field that is unmapped causes a warning

 

 

during an integrity check if entity creation is enabled

 

 

for the endpoint.

 

 

For a Quality Center endpoint, a field is Recommended

 

 

in the Synchronizer if it is required in Quality Center

 

 

and is given a default value in Quality Center when a

 

 

record is created.

 

 

 

 

Optional

You do not need to map this field as the destination of a

 

 

mapping from a field in the other endpoint, but can

 

 

optionally do so.

 

 

For a Quality Center endpoint, a field is Optional in the

 

 

Synchronizer if it is not required in Quality Center and

 

 

is not given a default value in Quality Center when a

 

 

new record is created.
