HP Quality Center Synchronizer 1.2 User Manual page 53

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.
Quality Center
Requirements
RP_Project1
Folder1
Req1
Req2
...
RP_Project2
Folder1
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.
