To use functions like FIndFirst(), you need to map the type you are 'finding'.

So you'd need to map Jira Release to Alm/Qc release as well.

having said this, the 'only' way to specify the parent release for a releasecycle in mfconnect is to set the 'parent release' property on the datasource. level.

this ensures that all jira sprints will sync over to the same, one and only parent release in alm/qc.

since jira sprints are unrelated to jira releases (versions), you cannot map tree hierarchy or structure relationships over into alm/qc releasecycles.

(you could go the other way around without a problem - alm/qc releases & release cycles mapped to jira releases & sprints)

an alternate approach you could take is to manually create the releases and the release cycles in alm/qc - by name - i.e. case sensitive matching the same names from jira into alm/qc, then schedule the match by name utility to run every night.

please see the online help for mf connect, and the section on batch utilities

Micro Focus Connect Help Center

Batch utility scripts (microfocus.com)

as a general aside, you may also want to ensure that you are on mf connect 4.4.3.

i hope this all makes sense, if you'd like additional details or clarification, please open a support incident.

The FindFirst(Release) function works but it takes the first Release present in the ALM.
how can i use FindFirstInProperty(syncItemProperty) function in my case? What should I specify in place of syncItemProperty to "hook" Release  with name 4.9.0 or with id 1056? in the help there is no example of using this specific function.

>>The FindFirst(Release) function works but it takes the first Release present in the ALM.

To pick a specific release using FindFirst, you need to specify the From clause below.

you'll need to say something like

and id equals 1234 

or

and name equals 'my favorite release'

>>can i use FindFirstInProperty(syncItemProperty) function in my case

I am unaware of the existence of FindFirstInProperty in MF Connect.

Please let us know where you found this?

thank you

Here is a list of functions that can be used

Hi Antonio,

Thank you for pointing this out.

To be honest, I always use FindFirst() or FindFirstOrThrow()

These 2 functions cover all the use cases I work with in helping customers with MF Connect.

Having said which, I believe that, since FindFirst works for you, constraining it with the From clause will find the release you need

In the From section I see only the properties related to the Release-Cycle and not to the Release. I am unable to retrieve the release ID. How do i specify "from release with id=1056" for example?

sorry but if we can not solve this problem we are forced to abandon the adoption of this tool for the purpose.

Hi Antonio,

This thread has gone beyond my ability to help you via the community forum.

I suggest that you log a support case with MicroFocus.

We, the MF Connect CFRD team, will be happy to work with you.

Take care
