Note:

§      Purify uses the initialization file Schema_purify.ini to map error and coverage data and other information to the relevant fields of the ClearQuest submit form. This mapping is based on the ClearQuest sample schema. If you edit the sample schema or use a custom schema, you must modify the .ini file to ensure data is correctly displayed in the submit form. To modify the .ini file, follow the instructions included in Schema_purify.ini, located in the ClearQuest product directory.
