This version of the connector is certified with VersionOne (hosted)
Unless otherwise specified, for any given MF Connect connector from OpenText, all versions of the connector product that are officially released and supported by it's vendor both four months before the time of the release of the connector as well as at the time of using the connector, are supported by OpenText. Not all product versions will be tested and validated by OpenText for each connector release. Instead, OpenText chooses a subset of versions that we deem representative or most important to run validation and certification tests against. These selected versions are mentioned in the respective connector read-me, clearly identifying them as "validated" or "certified". As stated above, this does not mean that Micro Focus Connect does not support other product versions – it only means that no validation test cycle was executed for the other versions.
This version of the connector supports VersionOne asset types, as well as custom fields and types.
This connector requires at least build 24.1.1 of Micro Focus Connect and can be configured using the Micro Focus Connect UI.
The thesaurus.properties file should be copied to the Micro Focus Connect's AppData\data folder.
The following are required to run the Connector. For further configuration instructions, see the Micro Focus Connect Release Notes.
The following information contains notes regarding installation, but does not replace the entire process.
In order to use this connector, you will need to collect and enter this information in the Micro Focus Connect user interface:
If delete items is set to true (it is false by default) for the Version One data source, Micro Focus Connect deletes all of the items restored from the recycle bin in Version One.
Converting a VersionOne asset to a different type will cause the corresponding synchronized asset on master side of Micro Focus connection to be deleted. If the assets of the new type are being synchronized, a new item of the corresponding type will be created.
Writing sprints to VersionOne will fail if the dates of the sprint are encompassed by an existing sprint in V1. The error will include "Error writing to output stream at com.connect.v1.V1SyncItem.update"
A work around for this problem is to perform the following steps:
When selecting a fallback user a message will state there are no users.
Only items from the same project can be referenced in a Relationship. For example a Backlog Item can only reference an Epic that is in the same project.
VersionOne will throw an error if you attempt to add a sprint to a project which doesn't have a sprint schedule. The Version One connector does not suppport synchronizing Schedule assets.
If your connection is mapping VersionOne Test type, but you are using VersionOne RegressionTests, the RegressionTests will not sync until they are part of a Test Set.
Until you create a schedule in VersionOne, Sprints will not sync.
In order to use an Access Token for authentication, set the User property for the datasource to "AccessToken" and set the password to the access token value from VersionOne UI.
Reading items from VersionOne is now taking twice as long as previous versions. Micro Focus Connect development is looking into this issue.
Non-Ascii characters may show up as ? in fields, or may result in exceptions from VersionOne when an update is perfored. Micro Focus Connect development is looking into this issue.
