How do I export and then import "work items"


Vio Onut (2121) | asked Dec 15 '08, 2:56 p.m.
hello,

I have 2 project areas and I would like to export all my work items from one project area into my second project areas.

I checked the import/export options but it seems that i can't find a solution for this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Vio

Thank you Geoff !

Yes indeed... there is a limitation there... I tried on 2 project under the same jazz repository and it worked fine.

I think that this limitation should be resolved in the future. Also, I haven't seen any documentation on this process. It may be worthwhile to have a section under the Migration help.

Thank you all for your prompt response and for helping me find a solution to this! I really appreciate it !

Cheers,
Vio

In 1.0, you cannot move a workitem from one jazz server to another ...
you can only move a workitem to another project area on the same jazz
server.

Hi Patrick

Thank you for your reply. So I have around 30 defects... and your
solution seems ok. However, when I go to "Move/Copy to Project
Area" option, I get a message dialog with "Not Connected to
any other project area".

My 2 project areas are on 2 separate jazz servers. I have
connected (logged in) in both servers under the same RTC instance,
and also I have "Connect to project areas ..." for both
projects.

Is there a step that I'm missing in order to see instead of the
"Not Connected to any project area." message the right
project?

Thank you,
Vio

Depending on how many work items you have, you might be able to use the
"Move/Copy to Project Area" action for this purpose. It is available from
the context menu of a work item.
