Copying from one EWM project area to another

Is there any utility (similar to ETMCopyUtility for ETM) to copy the data from one EWM project area to another? We want to copy work items (along with planned for iterations). After searching in jazz.net forum, I understand this can be asked only through services engagement. Can someone please let me know the steps that will be used by services team? Or just the approach that can be used.

The out of the box Import/Export utility is actually really pretty good at doing this:
 - export the items you want to copy over, including all fields you want to bring
 - make sure you have the work item types defined the same in the target project area, in whatever way you prefer (template, manual, raw XML mods if you're brave and know what you're doing)
 - use the Eclipse EWM Client based import capability to set up the import and create a custom mapping
 - import the file

If you have the appropriate permissions, you will be able to auto create the iterations as you import. It will also bring the items over in their current states. You'll also have the opportunity to adjust any data in the CSV file before you import.

The other option is Ralph Schoon's excellent EWM Command Line utility:
