Step 3: Add ITS Project to AccuWork Issue Records

Once you have created values for your ITS project names in the AccuWork schema, you need to update your AccuWork issue records with these values as appropriate, as shown in the following illustration.

Assigning an ITS project name to the AccuWork issue record allows AccuSync to successfully synchronize issue records on both systems.

Tip: The AccuRev Web interface (AccuRev Web UI) bulk update feature allows you to change field values for multiple records at one time.

When you run a query, issue records satisfying the query are displayed in the Query Browser Results pane. By default, up to 500 records are displayed at a time. If you want to change the number of records displayed at a time, click the Table Filter button and set a new value in the Items per page field in the Table Filter dialog box, as shown in the following illustration:

See the AccuRev® Web Interface User’s Guide or Web UI online help for more information on bulk update and Query Browser features.

Rally Users Only: Specifying Nested Project Names

AccuSync supports nested Rally projects for as many levels as are defined in Rally. For example, in Rally, Project_Dev may contain a sub-project, Project_Dev2, and Project_Dev2 may contain a sub-project, Project_Dev2A.

Rally permits multiple projects of the same name within the same Rally workspace. For example, Workspace1 in Rally may contain Project_1 with sub-project Project_ABC and it may also contain Project_2 with another sub-project also named Project_ABC. When multiple projects have the same name, you must define the project name with the full path in the AccuWork schema.

Specifying Rally Project Names in the AccuWork Schema

For multiple projects having the same name within a workspace, you must specify the full pathname of the project in the AccuWork schema. Use the pipe character (|) to define the pathname (for example, Project_1|Project_ABC).

Note: If the name of a child project is not used by another project, it is not necessary to specify the full pathname.

The following illustration shows several Rally projects specified in the AccuWork schema. The two projects that have the same name (Project_ABC) are defined with their full pathnames. For more information about the AccuWork schema, see the AccuRev User’s Guide.

Specifying Rally Project Names by End-users in AccuWork

When a user enters an issue in AccuWork to be synchronized with Rally, the user selects the Rally Project name in an AccuWork field. The Rally Project name selections shown in the drop-down list are as specified in the AccuWork schema. (See the previous section, Specifying Rally Project Names in the AccuWork Schema.)

For nested Rally Projects that have the same name as other projects in the workspace, the choices for Rally project should show the full pathname for projects as they were set up in the AccuWork schema. Use the pipe character (|) to define the pathname (for example, Project_1|Project_ABC).

If the Rally Project field has been set up as a Text type field (rather than a Choose type field) the end user enters the Rally project name. In this case, the end user should be instructed to enter the full pathname for the Rally project if the project has the same name as another project. Example: Project_1|Project_ABC.

If, during synchronization, AccuSync detects that an issue in AccuWork does not have the necessary full path for a duplicate Rally project name, an error message displays.
