Scheduling imports
You can select the Helix ALM projects and Surround SCM mainline branches to import data from to populate ALM Data Warehouse. You can also set the import frequency.
Note: You cannot schedule imports for the Helix ALM License Server. License server data is imported before other imports start or you can manually import data. See Manually importing data.
