When a connected project is downloaded, all the analysis and rule settings are delivered to the local environment so that local analysis can be performed in the same way as for the original desktop project.
Because an RCF can be either changed locally or directly on the Validate server before analysis is performed the latest RCF is pulled from the Validate server and merged with the local RCF. This default behavior can be disabled in qagui by navigating to the Project Properties dialog, selecting the Project panel, and unchecking the “Auto sync on analyze” checkbox. On the command line use the qacli validate config command. For example:
It is possible to amend an existing project configuration, just as for any other Helix QAC project. For example, you can change the Dataflow Settings and the other configuration settings for the components. These changes will remain local unless they are explicitly pushed to the Validate server. See Updating a Connected Project for more information.
