The details of how
AccuSync synchronizes
AccuWork issues with issues in an ITS project are described in the
AccuSync configuration. You use a separate
AccuSyncAccuSync Configuration for each
AccuRev depot you want to synchronize with an ITS project.
The information in an
AccuSync Configuration includes:
- Connection settings for the
AccuWork and ITS systems that host the issues you want to synchronize.
- The specific fields in these issues whose data you want to synchronize. For example, you might want to map the Comments field
in an
AccuWork issue to the Description field in an ITS issue, and you might choose not to synchronize a field that is peculiar to one system.
You can create a mapping definition, a named group of field mappings, and use it as a building block to create other, more
specialized mapping definitions. You might have different mapping definitions for defects and tasks, for example.
- How frequently you want
AccuSync to synchronize
AccuWork with your ITS. You can perform an initial synchronization of all issues in a depot based on a transaction number or date
you specify. After the initial synchronization, you can use a synchronization pattern to schedule synchronization of
AccuWork issues and ITS issues at any interval you specify. You can also perform synchronizations manually whenever you choose.
- Whether you want
AccuSync to perform two-way synchronization of issue and change package data, or whether you want to use one-way synchronization to
capture issue data from your ITS (or vice-versa). Synchronization patterns in the default
AccuSync configuration are defined as two-way but you can change them. See
Synchronization Types for more information.
- Optional transformers that let you convert values in one system to different values in the other. For example, you can use
transformers to strip the
@domain_name suffix from user names for inclusion in an
AccuWork issue. You can also create custom transformers.

AccuSync Configuration Components for a complete list of the components that can make up an
AccuSync Configuration.
