How to integrate Rational Team Concert (RTC) and Clear Quest(CQ) to synchronize data between the two servers.

Just an addition to the above link, users usually getting onto such requests of synchronization, usually have a huge amount of data already available in CQ - hence its important for you to know that the CM API used by the synchronizer in RTC 4.x is for 7.1.2.6.
So if you are looking at Setting up the synchronizer - mostly as a gradual move from CQ to RTC [latest version, lets say 4.0.2] - I would recommend you first upgrade CQ to 7.1.2.6 or 8.x and then go in for the Synchronization.
Also keep in mind that CQ-RTC sync can be done by 3 variants:
1) Rational ClearQuest Synchronizer
2) Rational ClearQuest Bridge
3) Rational ClearQuest Importer
