Rational Team Concert field mapping

Understand how IBM® Rational Team Concert™ artifacts and fields are mapped to IBM Rational® Project Conductor artifacts and fields.
Table 1. Rational Team Concert field mapping
Rational Team Concert artifact or field Rational Project Conductor artifact or field Additional information
Project area Program or project Each program, or project (or subproject) is a project area in Rational Team Concert. You can create programs and projects in Rational Project Conductor only. You can view and work with programs and projects in Rational Team Concert.
Team area Not used Team areas are not applicable in Rational Project Conductor
Timeline Applicable for programs and projects. Correspond to the initial start and finish dates for the program or project. A default timeline is created when you create a program or a project. Additional timelines are not supported by Rational Project Conductor.
Iteration Iteration Can edit in both applications.
Iteration start and end dates Iteration Start (Exp) and Finish (Exp) Dates are synchronized. Can edit in both applications.
Work item fields
Summary WBS Element Name Can edit in both applications.
State State Can edit in Rational Team Concert; read-only in Rational Project Conductor.
Owned by Owner of the WBS element Can edit in both applications. When you assign an owner to a work item in Rational Team Concert, an assignment record is created in Rational Project Conductor. The resource is also allocated to the project level.
Planned for Iteration Can edit in both applications.
Estimate Effort (Exp) or Effort (Plan) Estimate is mapped to expected effort if there is no owner for the work item. Estimate is mapped to planned effort if an owner is assigned to the work item. Can edit in both applications.
Time spent Actual effort (entered in timesheet) Can edit in both applications. When you enter the Time Spent for a work item in Rational Team Concert, a timesheet is created in Rational Project Conductor, and the work hours updated for the day on which the entry is made.
Note: The hours you enter in the work item are not distributed over the days in the timesheet.
For example, in the work item, if you enter two days as the Time Spent, then in the timesheet, two days of effort is entered for the day on which the Time Spent is updated.
Due date Finish date (Exp) or Finish date (Plan) Estimate is mapped to expected finish date if there is no owner for the work item. Estimate is mapped to planned finish date if an owner is assigned to the work item. Can edit in both applications.

The WBS Details viewlet in IBM Rational Project Conductor is based on the work item editor in IBM Rational Team Concert, and contains the fields and tabs defined for work items in Rational Team Concert. Your administrator can customize this viewlet by editing the project management process template in the Rational Team Concert Client for Eclipse IDE. Your administrator can create custom tabs, enumerations, and types and attributes for work items, and these can be viewed in Rational Project Conductor.
