Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Are folders synchronized by EA Connector case sensitive?
A. EA allows multiple packages at the same level with variations in casing (e.g. "Non-Functional Requirements" and "Non-functional Requirements"). However, QC ignores case when deciding whether a folder already exists, so if "Non-Functional Requirements" already exists on the QC side, an attempt to create "Non-functional Requirements" in QC would fail. For that reason, EA Connector to QC ignores case when determining if a folder already exists in QC or if it must be created.
 
Q. I am getting an error message "User does not have permission to execute the Command object" in the EA Connector to QC log.
A. EA Connector to QC (or any synchronization software) needs access to the Command object provided by QC's API. Verify that the QC user configured for EA Connector has permission to execute the Command object. The Command interface for the entire installation might have been disabled by setting the DISABLE_COMMAND_INTERFACE parameter to "Y". In this event the user you use for EA Connector must be a member of the TDAdmin group. See the Quality Center Administration Guide for more details.
 
Q. Can I configure the synchronization frequency?
A. At this time EA Connector to QC has a set frequency for synchronizing that should provide a reasonable balance of near-real time updates and good performance. An upcoming release will add the ability to configure synchronization frequency.
 
Q. Can I run more than one instance on the same server?
A. Due to the way the EA and Quality Center APIs function only one instance of EA Connector can run on a given server. EA Connector to QC has been tested to run successfully in a virtual server. If necessary, multiple virtual servers can be run on the same machine.
 
Q. If I view the history in Quality Center will I be able to see changes to tests and requirements that were made by EA Connector?
A. Yes, any history configured in Quality Center will be recorded for EA Connector changes.
 
Q. Can I run EA Connector to QC on a virtual machine?
A. Yes, EA Connector is able to be run on a virtual machine.

Q. When attempting to synchronize the application reports the following error, what does this mean?

There was a problem connecting to Quality Center: Unable to cast COM object of type 'Mercury.TD.Client.Ota.QC9.TDConnectionClass' to interface type 'Mercury.TD.Client.Ota.QC9.ITDConnection3'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID 'D5630429-4097-45C3-B581-2A01C6999DDD' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).
A. This error is caused by attempting to use EA Connector to QC with version 9.0 of Quality Centre, currently only versions 9.2 and later are supported.
