Setting the synchronization schedule

By default, synchronization between IBM® Rational® Quality Manager and IBM Rational RequisitePro® is set to occur every 1200 seconds (20 minutes). If the IBM Rational RequisitePro project includes a large number of requirements and the requirements change frequently, you might need to increase the time between synchronizations.

Before you begin

You must establish a connection with the Rational RequisitePro server before synchronization can occur.

About this task

After you import requirements into Rational Quality Manager, the requirements themselves can be changed or deleted in the source requirements management tool, for example, RequisitePro. When this happens, the requirements that were previously imported are no longer in synch with the requirements management tool. The requirements are shown in the Requirements view with a status of Suspect.

When the imported requirements are resynchronized, their status changes back to Normal. To prevent frequent changes in requirement status and unnecessary system activity, increase the time between synchronizations.

To change the synchronization schedule:

Procedure

  1. Log on as a user with JazzAdmins repository permissions.
  2. Click Admin, and then click Jazz Server Administration.
  3. In the left sidebar, click Advanced Properties.
  4. Click Edit, and then change the Requirement Incoming Sync Task Fixed Delay property to a larger number, such as 28800 seconds ( 8 hours).
  5. When you are finished making the change, click Save.
