Type mapping examples

The following examples illustrate the connections and mappings for several typical use cases. For additional use cases, see the Help Center's Methodology menu.

In this topic:

OpenText Software Delivery Management and Jira

The following example shows a connection that synchronizes five types:

• A Jira defect synchronizes bi-directionally to an OpenText Software Delivery Management defect.
• A Jira epic synchronizes uni-directionally to epics.
• Both Jira Story and Jira Support synchronize to stories.

Field mappings

The field mappings for this example are:

• The Jira key syncs uni-directionally to the Jira ID custom field.
• Jira Comments synchronize bi-directionally to/from Comments.
• Jira Defect Parent (Story) and Backlog Items synchronize bi-directionally.

Sync multiple workspaces

The following example shows a connection that synchronizes three OpenText Software Delivery Management workspaces to one OpenText Application Quality Management project:

Field mappings

The field mappings for this example are:

• The Jira Story and Support types are mapped to the OpenText Software Delivery Management user story.
• The connection maps two Jira projects to a workspace.

• Two user defined fields (UDFs) are defined:

  • jira_project_key_udf - String (label: Jira project key)
  • Is_jira_support_udf – Boolean (label: Story is Jira support)

Next steps

• Add projects and rules to a connection
• Define calculated values
