This topic is relevant for NextGen Synchronizer only, embedded in Agile Manager's configuration area. For details about the ALM Synchronizer, see for .
On the link configuration General tab, modify settings and view general details about the link. Click Edit to modify settings, and
Save to save your changes.
Entity Type |
Defines the type of entity being synchronized. NextGen Synchronizer currently supports defect synchronization only. Read-only. |
Link Name |
The name of the link. Used, for example, in the navigation tree on the left. |
Description | A free-text description field for the link. |
Synchronization mode |
Defines whether automatic synchronizations are running for this link. Change this mode by right-clicking the link name in the tree on the left, and selecting one of the following:
Note: You cannot start automatic mode until you have run a successful integrity check, and saved your changes. |
The link status is indicated by an icon in the navigation tree. Additionally, see the following details on the General tab:
Last Sync. |
Provides details about the most recent synchronization run, including the date, as well as if the run finished with errors or passed. Click View report to view a summary of events that occurred during the run. |
Link Status |
Displays the link's current status, as well as a summary of any issues remaining from previous runs. Link statuses reflect whether integrity checks have passed or not, and whether recent synchronizations have generated errors or warnings.
For details and action items required for each status, see Link status reference. |
View the connection details for the configured endpoint. Click Check Connectivity to validate these details.
If changes are required, click Edit Endpoint. For more details, see Edit a link's ALM endpoint.
Note: You can only switch the endpoint to another ALM project before running a successful synchronization. Afterward, you can modify details if needed, but the project must remain the same.
View the favorites defined for detecting new records to create in the opposite endpoint, and switch the favorites as needed.
For more details, see Create Agile Manager and ALM favorites.
Note: You must always run an integrity check after modifying a link's configuration. We also recommend running a simulation to prevent errors occurring in the actual synchronization.
For details, see Run synchronizations.
