Thank you for using HP ALM Synchronizer.
To work with TFS and ALM at requirement sync, sometimes you want copy the hierarchy structure to another endpoint. So we provided folder sync on TFS adapter.
To use this feature, we need understand we will recognize a work item in TFS as folders in ALM. For example, you can make work item "Group" as folders.
Edit HP ALM Synchronizer\adapters\dat\TFS\adapter.properties
Uncomment folder items, specify which work time you want to map to folder:
tfs.adapter.folder.work.item=Group
Specify which attribute of this work item you want to map to ALM folder name and description:
tfs.adapter.folder.field.name=Title
tfs.adapter.folder.field.description=Description
And restart the service.
Then we also need put all requirements you want to sync under "Group" in TFS (by using linking function in TFS).
Finally your groups in TFS will become folder in ALM and all sub items will keep the hierarchy structure in ALM.
Hope this helpful.
