Added features

CollabNet Connector Framework 1.3.0 adds these new features.

  • The CollabNet Connector Framework now supports synchronization of TeamForge tracker artifacts with Quality Center requirements. If you have TeamForge 6.0, you can synchronize planning folders with QC requirements.
  • You can synchronize TeamForge artifacts that have a parent-child relationship. A top-down approach is recommended when synchronizing hierarchies. For details, see the section on dealing with hierarchies in the Best Practices wiki.
  • Synchronization with TeamForge 6.0 tracker fields is fully supported.
  • HP QC COM API memory management is improved.
  • HTML-to-plain text formatting capabilities have been improved.
  • There is a better streaming algorithm for load balancing across multiple project mappings.
  • The Eclipse-based user interface (version 1.3.0) adds these features:
    • Project mappings for Quality Center defects as well as requirements are supported. Intelligent wizards are available for selecting project/tracker/requirement types in Quality Center, TeamForge and CollabNet Enterprise Edition.
    • It is possible to define and apply multiple graphical and non-graphical mapping templates.
    • The hospital view for quarantined artifacts has been improved, with enahanced replay functionality.

For detailed information about the CollabNet Connector Framework's environment, underlying technologies, examples, best practices, frequently asked questions and more, see the CCF project wiki.

To help you try out the connector, there is a Quick Start Guide in the CollabNet User Information Center.

Note: Before upgrading to version 1.3.0, see the "Migration Notes" here.
