Integration with Rational ClearQuest helps you to achieve the following goals:
The bridge contains synchRule maps for the ClearQuest and Tara records, managers for ClearQuest items and Tara items<??>, and if required value transformers for fields of the items.<??>
The bridge in the ClearQuest allows you to see the ClearQuest records from Tara in a hierarchy you want to. From a top level, the map file, syncRule, is defined for a ClearQuest record which is integrated with the Tara record. This map file contains mapping information for every type and field. It allows managers to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) records from their systems. Each mapping field is synchronized either in single direction or in both directions. The bridge provides all the fields that is synchronized only in single direction, from ClearQuest to Tara. Also, for each external (ClearQuest) record, only a corresponding proxy record is created in Tara.
