Specifying Synchronization Criteria

You have the option to specify criteria that Micro Focus Connect will use to restrict synchronization to a certain subset of the type. You do this by selecting a type from your data source and creating a query to specify the values you want that type to match in order to be synchronized. You can use AND or OR operators to define as many query clauses as needed.
  1. If you are in the process of creating a connection, in the Add Type Mapping dialog box, click the <system name> Sync Criteria tab.
    Tip: Micro Focus Connect uses the data source product name for the <system name> displayed in the UI.
  2. Click (Add Child Criteria). The Add Term dialog box opens.
  3. Select the data source property from the Property Name list. For example: Blocked.
    Tip: If your data source does not provide a list of property names, you can type it in this field.
  4. Select an operator from the Operator list. For example: equals.
    Option Description
    Equals The property equals the value.
    Contained in String The property contains a part of the value.
    Starts With The property starts with a specified letter or number.
    Ends With The property name ends with a specified letter or number.
    Contained in Set The property is contained within a set. Contained in Set is an OR operation. Example: If property value is A and the criteria is contained in set A, B, C it is true because the value A is a member of the set A, B, C.
    Includes The property includes the value. Note: The value is a set of names. Includes is an AND operation. Example: If property value is A, B and the criteria is includes A it is true because the value being a set of A, B has a member A
    Greater Than The property is larger in number than the value.
    Less Than The property is smaller than the value.
    Greater Than Or Equals The property is larger or equal to the value.
    Less Than Or Equals The property is smaller than or equal to the value.
    Is Descendant Of Use for items contained in an hierarchical tree, such as Stories and Requirements. For example: WorkProduct->Is Descendant Of Story.12, where 12 is the unique Story ID number. Also in this example is the feature of setting the criteria property as a chain. Use -> to indicate the property is connected by the synch criteria as either Is Decendant of or Instance Of. You can use either the Type Name and ID or just the ID. Separate the Type Name and ID with a ..
    Instance Of Use with Property or Type Name. For example: WorkProduct->Instance Of Story.
  5. In the Property Value column, enter the value that the field must contain in order to be synchronized. For example: True.
  6. Optionally, double-click another row to specify synchronization criteria for another field.
  7. Optionally, use one of the following to build your query:
    Option Description
    Adds child criteria.
    Adds a child And Or node.
    Opens the edit mode to update criteria.
    Deletes the selected criteria.
  8. Click OK to save your changes.
