### Scan Jobs (Polarion CRON)

Scans for 'user' modified Perforce Jobs and updates the Polarion WorkItem.

```
<job name="Perforce Job Scanner" 
     id="jobscanner.job"
     cronExpression="0 0 1 ? * *"
     scope="project:paul">
</job>
```

### Import Jobs (Polarion CRON)

Imports new 'user' added Perforce Jobs (based on ReportedDate) and create new Polarion WorkItems setting the WorkItem Type filed and assigning to a Polarion Project.

```
<job name="Perforce Job Import" 
     id="jobimport.job"
     cronExpression="0 0 1 ? * *"
     scope="project:paul">
     
	<view>PolarionProject=paul</view>
	<type>defect</type>
	<delete>false</delete>
</job>
```

### WorkItem to Job replication

WorkItem (id)     | Replacation             | Job (field)
------------------|:-----------------------:|-------------
`id`              | `CREATE`-->             | `Job`
`project`         | `CREATE`-->             | `PolarionProject`
`description`     | <--`CREATE|UPDATE`-->   | `Description`
`title`           | <--`CREATE|UPDATE`-->   | `PolarionTitle`
`status`          | <--`CREATE|UPDATE`-->   | `PolarionStatus`
`author`          | `CREATE`-->             | `ReportedBy`
`linkedRevisions` | <--`CREATE|UPDATE`-->   | (`p4 fixes`)


### Perforce counters
Stores the last scan in Perforce Server time using Epoch in seconds.

`p4 counter Polarion.Job.Time` (Default start value: 0)

Stores the last import in Perforce Server time using Epoch in seconds.

`p4 counter Polarion.Import.Time` (Default start value: 0)

Polarion Server address used by Swarm to link within a Perforce Job.

`p4 counter Polarion.Server.Url` (Example: http://phooey-win.das.perforce.com)

### Multiple Perforce 'repository' connections

In a situation where more than one Perforce repository is connected to a Polarion Project, the WorkItem 'Linked Revisions' will link a Perforce change and update the corresponding 'fix' record on the server.
