Importing notes from ClearQuest to RTC


David Fay (4164) | asked Sep 10 '09, 12:30 p.m.
Hi,

1) Do I need to do something extra in my data mapping file to import notes from ClearQuest to a RTC 2.0 discussion presentation?

2) Is it possible to combine multiple notes fields from ClearQuest into a single discussion presentation?

Thanks,

David

Not all of the work item properties can be specified in the mapping file. The work item comment and attachment fields are two such fields.

To import notes, specify the Notes_Log field in the CQ query's display fields.

I created work item https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=94196 to support the ability to specify notes in the mapping file.

It is not possible to combine multiple CQ notes into 1 work item comment. Please put in a work item enhancement request to have more than one comment in a work item.

Thanks! I will put in the request.

In the meantime, however, we still need that functionality. So, I'm hoping to be able to figure out how to modify the source code to create sort of a hack to get it working for our specific needs until you guys are able to find a solution that will work for everyone.

I downloaded the ClearQuest Connector source code. I guess my first question is: Was that the correct source code to download?

Here are my other questions:

- Where does the code to relating to importing the Notes_Log exist?
- How would we go about building it?
- Where would we place the JAR(s) once it's done?

Thanks for your time.

David, I'll let the CQ Connector team answer your other questions but just so you know WRT hacking the source:

The license permits you to modify RTC for your own internal use only however IBM support won't support any modified component. The dev team will however do what it can but no guarantees.

Email was sent to the user. Also, a work item has been created, https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=94281.
