Well rats ..... Just tried using a 4 client ..... 4.0.7 back to 4.0.4 fails with an error message indicating that there have been changes that have broken these two plugins ....missing or changed methods when connecting to a project area.
Going back to 4.0.3 I get I can get all the way to attempting to move multiple work items. Unfortunately I get:
CRJAZ1241I There is a version mismatch for the "com.ibm.team.workitem" model. The server version is "17" while the client version is "16". Both client and server version must match. Check the overall version of the client using Help->About and ensure it is compatible with server version "5.0.2" and build id "RJF-I20141028-1603".
So I think I am hosed
Ralph, if I open a work item, any idea on who to initially assign it to? Or is someone still monitoring unassigned work items?
Guy, use a lower version e.g. the 3.x version against 4.0.2 not the other way around.
File the work item against "Work Items" they will pick it up.
Thanks Ralph...I will open the work item. fwiw I did have it right .... I have 5.0.2 server and since the bulk move plugins don't work with the 5.x client I dropped down to the 4.x client.
I am considering to create a UI extension that anyone could deploy in his Eclipse. Unfortunately it is not just allow to select multiple work items and calling the Wizard. The solution in the patch you use does a preflight and provides warnings in a first run. I need to figure out how it does that first.
I also think there is a work item already, but if you can't find that, create a new one.

Hi Jazz-Community,
- Moving to another process template: There are multiple approaches to move to a new process template. One of it is to create an entirely new project area from scratch. Easily transferring the existing work items to the new area without changing the identifier and links is a key requirement there.
- Splitting or merging projects: From our experience, changes in project structure or team setup often need to be reflected in RTC. As a result, project areas might be split or merged, raising the need to move the affected work items.
- Defect Management: If, by example, your application is based on a platform, your users or customers may file defects against your application project area where they do not belong. You can then move them to the platform project area, whereas the issuer of the defect will still be able to receive updates on this defect.

Aug 23 '17, 3:40 p.m.Hi All,
I am trying to also do a bulk move of work items. I am using RTC v4.0 client with CLM v5.0.2. I have copied the jar files to the plugins folder (IntallationDirectory\scmtools\eclipse\plugins), then ran eclipse.exe -clean to start RTC.
However, when I select multiple work items, the options to move/copy is still greyed out. Is this expected behavior considering the gap in the client and server versions or am I perhaps missing something?
Thanks-you,
regards,
Michael Alberda

I apply the iFix 16 for RTC 5.0.2. After that, I'm having problems to use the client 4.0 to connect to the server. Do we have an alternative to performs a bulk move in RTC 5.0.2?
Thanks,
Otávio Figueiredo
