Moving work item customization to another RTC server?


Mike Johnson (28624221) | asked Aug 31 '09, 4:41 p.m.
We would like to see how easy/difficult it is to move RTC work item customizations from one project to another, and from one server to another. Specifically we would like to move the custom work item types, the custom work item field types, the "layout" of the work item types (ie, sections and tabs).

I was hoping maybe this info is exportable/importable through an XML file, like some of the process configuration data. Is that available?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Johnson

Hi,

you can right-click a project in the Eclipse UI and select "Create Process Template" to create a process template from your configuration. You can then import that process template into your other server and create a new project with the customizations you did.

Would that be sufficient?

All of the work item customization is present in the process source of the project. You can copy the entire source from one project to another and to another server - I've done this without issues. I however was not worried about other customizations that were different between the servers - I wanted all of the process to be the same.
