Configure Quality Center - Project Tracker connector properties

To configure the Quality Center connector To Project Tracker, specify system details and user credentials in your CCF, Quality Center and Project Tracker Properties screens.

The values referenced by the config.xml files are stored in the .properties files located in the same directory.

For Project Tracker and Quality Center, the properties are stored here:

ccf.properties contains the properties for the CollabNet Connector Framework's core components.
cee.properties contains the properties for the CollabNet Enterprise Edition plugin classes.
qc.properties contains the properties for the Quality Center plugin classes.

Note: You will be asked to enter passwords for accessing Project Tracker and Quality Center. In CCF 1.4.2 and later versions, you have the option to obfuscate passwords. If you selected this, passwords will be prefixed with "OBF:" in the .properties files.

Note: In CCF 1.5.1 (and later versions), you no longer need a Resync user account (ccf438).

Configure CCF Properties.
1. Click Test Connection to test the connection to the central CCF database.
  Note: If the database is local, you will not need to change the default settings. If you have installed CCF on a different server, you need to specify the remote host name and then test the connection settings.
2. Edit the CCF hosts section only if you use JMX monitoring. For JMX monitoring, replace http://localhost in the CCF-specific settings with the qualified hostname of the CCF server.
3. If you need additional information about quarantined artifacts in the log messages, edit the defaults template by adding hospital table columns.

Note: In the CollabNet Enterprise Edition system, you need an exclusive connector user with the requisite permissions to access (read/write) the Project Tracker tool involved in the mapping.

1. Enter the URL of the CollabNet Enterprise Edition site or the TeamForge site where Project Tracker is set up as an integrated application. For example, http://myforge.mycompany.net.
  Note: For a CollabNet Enterprise Edition site, include only the domain name in the URL. Do not include the name of a specific project.
2. Specify the timezone and maximum size for attachments.
3. Specify the connector username and password.
  Note: This refers to the exclusive connector user in CollabNet Enterprise Edition or TeamForge, who has the requisite permissions to access (read/write) the tracker involved in the mapping. It is important that no other user be allowed to log into the system with the connector user's username and modify this tracker's artifacts.
