sync rule to include a default Category (Filed Against)

Chris Ratcliffe (263●33●30) | asked Jun 23 '09, 4:19 p.m.
Hi,

I am trying to set up my sync rule such that the Filed Against attribute for the work item will get set to a specific default value, regardless of any settings in the ClearQuest record. I created the following Property/Value Mappings: 



<propertyMapping>

    <externalPropertyName></externalPropertyName>

            <itemPropertyName>Category</itemPropertyName>

            <incoming>true</incoming>

            <outgoing>false</outgoing>

            <itemIdentifier>false</itemIdentifier>

            <externalIdentifier>false</externalIdentifier>

            <externalModifier>false</externalModifier>

            <requiredItemProperties></requiredItemProperties>

            <requiredExternalProperties></requiredExternalProperties>

            <transformExtension>com.ibm.team.interop.service.managers.workitem.CategoryValueTransformer</transformExtension>

            <valueMappings>

                <valueMapping>

                    <externalValue></externalValue>

                    <itemValue>CQ IMCS</itemValue>

                    <defaultExternalValue>false</defaultExternalValue>

                    <defaultItemValue>false</defaultItemValue>

                </valueMapping>

            </valueMappings>

        </propertyMapping>


However, all of my syncs are failing with the error:

I don't understand what this error is telling me. The "CQ IMCS" Category is definitely defined in my Project Area.

Thanks,
Chris

So I found this information:

https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/CQConnectorFAQ#Incoming_sync_error_invalid_UUID

which indicates that my mapping is failing because the map isn't properly identifying the UUID of the Category. How do I determine the UUID of the Category? None of the 3 techniques typically used for syncing the category are what I want to do, because as I mentioned, I would like to set all new synced objects to a specific Category.

Adding value mappings to a property mapping that uses the category value transformer is not supported in RTC 1.0.X.X, but it is in RTC 2.0. See this work item for the details:

https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/56728

The mapping you posted will almost work in RTC 2.0; the only thing you'd need to change is to assign some external property name that doesn't actually exist as a CQ field (e.g. "dummy"). It turns out that the name cannot be empty, or the mapping will be ignored.

Ahh, tricky. :wink: I don't think I would have thought of that. I am actually using 2.0 Beta 2, so the change you suggested works great. Thanks a lot.
