Creating a Synchronization Parameter file for TopTeam HP Quality Center Connector

Overview

This article describes the procedure for creating a Parameter file for running TopTeam HP Quality Center (HPQC) Connector in an unattended mode.

Prerequisites

1. A Synchronization Scheme is defined either between the HPQC Project that you want to synchronize and all TopTeam Projects or between the HPQC Project and the TopTeam Project that you want to synchronize.

2. A Synchronization Profile is defined either for all TopTeam Projects or the TopTeam Project that you want to synchronize.

Who can create a Synchronization Parameter file?

A user should have TopTeam Project Admin or System Administrator permissions for defining Synchronization Profiles.

If you want to synchronize multiple projects, create as many Synchronization Parameter files and execute using a Windows batch (.bat) file.

Step 6. Specify Synchronization direction

You can run HPQC Connector in an unattended mode using a Synchronization Parameter File in the following ways:
1. Schedule an unattended record synchronization using Windows Scheduler.
2. Run TopTeam HPQC Connector in command line with predefined Synchronization Settings.
3. Run TopTeam HPQC Connector with predefined settings by double-clicking the Parameter File.
4. You can queue unattended synchronization of multiple projects by creating a batch file.

For creating a batch (.bat) file, add the Parameter File name with path in “double quotes” and save the batch file.
E.g.
“C:\Parameter Files\Export VRS.ttmqs”
“C:\Parameter Files\Import VRS.ttmqs”

IMPORTANT: HPQC client side installation and TopTeam HPQC Connector should be installed on the computer on which you want to run the Synchronization Parameter File.

Step 12. Proceed to another Task or Exit
