Currently it's migrating them all to Defect, I assume because that's
the first Work Item Type listed. I'm migrating from a different tool
into RTC.

I added the line below to my XML import file for the targetId, but
all Work Items still get imported as Defects. In my CSV file the
column that specifies the Work Item Type is named TYPE.


targetId="com.ibm.team.workitem.workitemtype"/>targetId="com.ibm.team.workitem.workitemtype"/>

Another issue I'm having:

Fields I have that are multi-select checkbox or Boolean fields with
checkboxes don't seem to have the data migrated. Fields that are
drop-down seem to show the migrated data fine.

Are there any known-issues with these types of field?


Use a column named "Type" to set the type of the work item. Every type
is supported that exists in the project area. To get an idea of the
field values I suggest doing a CSV export of some work items from this
project area. Usually the value maps with the name of the type (e.g.
"Defect", "Story", etc...)

@checkbox fields: You say you export these as CSV from RTC and they dont
get imported properly? Can you give an example of how the exported data
looks like? I suggest opening a work item for this case, it would be
interesting to know if only the import fails, or if the exported data is
already missing information.

Ben,

Thanks for the response.

I'm actually migrating data from an Internal IBM tool to RTC. Since some of the data needs to be modified to fit the values in RTC I've been creating my own XML Data Mapping, which I'm guessing is where the problem lies.




1. I exported a work item from RTC as you suggested and in the CSV file the TYPE = APAR. I have this defined the same way in my CSV file that I'm importing but it still appears as a Defect in RTC after Import.

In the XML mapping file I have it listed like this:

<attribute>

Note: The column name in the source is TYPE.

Am I listing this correctly in the XML file?




2. I was able to get the checkboxes linked to Boolean fields working. The problem was the source treats the value as Yes/No where RTC uses True/False. When I changed the CSV value from Yes to True the check appeared after migration.




3 When I import the current Status of the imported record it's not translating to the RTC Status in the workflow.

I'm entering it in the XML mapping like this:

<attribute>
<value>
<value>
<value>
<value>
<value>
<value>



However when I view in RTC after import it goes directly to the "open" state.

The Workflow Definition in the RTC Config source looks like this:

<workflowDefinition>
<workflow>
<resolution>
<resolution>
<resolution>
<resolution>
<action>
<action>
<action>
<resolution>
<resolution>
<resolution>
<resolution>
</action>
<action>
<action>
<action>
<action>
<action>
<action>
<action>
<action>
<state>

Again I'm guessing I'm not doing the mappings correctly?





4. On other fields in my XML mapping file it's importing into RTC but with the source value and not the RTC value I want it to show. Example:

<attribute>
<value>
<value>



in the RTC Config Source:

<enumeration>
<literal>
<literal>
<literal>
<literal>
<literal>
<literal>
</enumeration>



The field name is db2_release_found but the enumeration is DB2_Release...although it seems to fail with both. By failing I mean it's storing the value as db2810 rather than the v8 NFM value I want for RTC.



Sorry for the long respons, but any advice you could give on these questions would be appreciated.



I got #4 working now. I was closing the Attribute tag too early.

I still can't get the Type or Status migration to work.
