AccuSync Configuration Components
The following table summarizes the individual components that can comprise an AccuSync Configuration.
Note: Required components are predefined in default AccuSync Configurations.
| Component | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Connection | Each AccuSync Configuration has two connection components: one for AccuWork, and one for the ITS. In addition to connection properties, the connection component identifies the AccuRev depot and ITS project whose issues the AccuSync Configuration will synchronize. | Yes |
| Mapping Definition | Describes which types of issues (defects or tasks, for example) will be synchronized and, for that issue type, which AccuWork and ITS fields will be synchronized. | Yes. Typically one for each type of issue being synchronized. |
| Synchronization Pattern | Specifies how often AccuSync will perform the synchronization task specified by the associated mapping definition, and whether that synchronization is one-way or two-way. An AccuSync Configuration can have multiple synchronization patterns. | Yes. Typically one for each type of issue being synchronized. |
| Field Mapping | A field mapping is a matched pair of AccuWork and ITS issue fields that you want to synchronize (Assigned To and Owner, for example). One or more field mappings are organized within a mapping definition. | Yes |
| Mapping Group | A table that contains the valid values for the same field in different systems. One system might define the values 1, 2, and 3 for a Priority field, while the other system might use Blocking, Important, and Moderate, for example. Mapping groups are always associated with a field mapping when valid values for a field vary across systems. | No. Required only if valid values for a field differ across systems |
| Transformers | A utility that AccuSync uses to convert data from one format to another during synchronization. | No |
| Filters | A utility AccuSync uses to identify which issue records to include in, or omit from, synchronization tasks. | No |
