Has anyone tried Bugzilla to Jazz work item migration?
25 answers
Please can you share your experience and post sample XML files you used to do the export from Bugzilla, import to Jazz and the mapping gfile if you use?
Great forum!
A find question up for 8 months and no views or replies!
I'd be interested in importing too.
Whoops - sometimes queries slip through...

Thanks for reviving this thread.
I am actually doing migration from ClearQuest ALM to Jazz via Bugzilla. I write a Perl script to extrat data from CQALM into XML files in the format of Bugzilla reports, then zip them together with the attachments and then feed tham to the Jazz Importer. It works well.
It seesm you are doing it from an active Bugzilla server to Jazz server directly whcih I don't try yet.

Coz im not the db guru, i thought i can get the bugs out of bugzilla with the rtc import wizard. :shock:
I'll find another way to get them out there. Importing to rqm works fine, except one problem. in the xml of bugzilla bugs, there is a long_desc tag, which is then used for the description and the first comment after jazz import. So the first comment is likely useless coz it's the same as the description.

Sounds like you are using pre-2.0 and you are right there. If you upgrade to 2.0, I am told that the bug has been solved and you don't need the loag_desc field for the Description anymore.
I think the description/comment fix that is being referred to is related to the CQ Importer which is built on top of the Bugzilla Importer. In CQ, there are separate fields that contain the description and comment values. This can be specified separately in the mapping file.
In Bugzilla, the description and comment information are both stored in the long_desc field. This is why you see the 1st comment in the work item description field as well as in the comments field.

So this seems to be a bug in the Bugzilla import wizard of RTC, or actually the xml specification for that. The solution would be to simply add a separate tag for the description or comments in the xml and not use the same for both fields.
But i guess this forum is the wrong place to mention that.
Thanks anyway
