Question about Mf Connect HP ALM <>Azure DevOps and Parent ID

Vianney M

Hello,

 

I’m doing to setup a new connection between one project HPALM and one project Azure DevOps and I’ve question.

 

I’ve one project HP ALM  with a lot of defects and I would like to synchronize them under one user story called “Defets From HP ALM »   in Azure DevOps.

 

To configure that  I used a rule in « target calculated value » to the parent of the bug :

 But I received an error : com.connect.api.exceptions.syncLifecycle.SkipSyncItemException: failed to find itemId

It means that the parent must be known and synchronized with Mf connect ? What’s the best way to achieve my goal ?

 

Thanks in advance

    Yes.

    MF Connect "sees" only items that are subject to synchronization.
    As the parent requires an item (a reference), the user story must be in the scope of the MF Connect sync.

    The easiest way to achieve this is to add an "empty" mapping in your connection for the ADO User Story type. For example "ALM Requirement"<-"ADO User Story".
    If you do not add any fields to that mapping, MF Connect will not actually sync any User Stories - but the User Story type will now be "in-scope".

    You might also have to use a "FindFirst()" lookup function in the calculated field -> but go ahead and try first with just the ID number.

    Hello Dominique, Thanks for your quick response. 

    Now I've mapping for ADO user stories.

    If I just the Id number for the calculated value (parent = 12345) I've same error. 

    So I used the FindFirst function and it works now

    Many thanks !
