Migrate Process template from RTC 2.0.0.2 to RTC 3.0 M6a

What is the proper procedure to move a process template from
RTC2.0.0.2 to RTC 3.0 M6a? The following is stated in the 'Help'
section "importing/exporting process templates"...

"You can import templates only from the same version of the
product. If you attempt to import templates from a different version,
you receive an error message with instructions for how to migrate the
template to the product version that you are using."

I received an error message (see below) but did receive the proper
instructions for how to migrate the template to a RTC 3.0m6aversion.

Error message received during initialization of project area:
Problem
An unhandled exception occurred during "Set up Main Project
Structures".

CRJAZ0215I Item not found:
com.ibm.team.workitem.common.internal.model.impl.CategoryHandleImpl@4d344d34
(stateId: , itemId: , origin:<unset>, immutable:
unset>)

Reason
Initializes a project area with the pieces necessary to start work on
a project.


Appreciate the support.

To upgrade your process templates, import them into a repository that is
currently at the version from which those templates were exported.
Then upgrade that repository (using the normal repository migration
tooling). Then export those templates, and they will be at the version
level of the upgraded repository.

Note: The error message you show below doesn't look like the one you'd
get because of a template version mis-match, but maybe the process team
could comment on that.

Did you use File > Import to import the template, or was it available in the repository after you moved for RTC 2.0.0.2 to RTC 3.0M6a? Is this a template that ships with RTC, or one you created?

Thanks,
Martha

Hi Judy,

From the error, it looks like the action is looking for a category that did not get created.

I am not familiar with the Set up Main Project Structures project area initialization follow up action. Is this one you are providing?

Hi Martha,

I created a new project in RTC 3.0m6a, assigned a process template that was exported from RTC 2.0.0.2 into my new RTC 3.0m6a project, actioned "Initialize" project, and now receiving the error in my orginial request.

From the previous response, it sounds like I need to reinstall RTC 2.0.0.2 then upgrade to RTC 3.0m6a - is this the only way to re-use the process template from RTC 2.0.0.2 with RTC 3.0m6a?

Thanks,
Judy

Hi Judy,

My teammate pointed out that the failure looks like one that has been reported previously. See https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/68872 . Once a project area initialization has failed, it continues to fail due to the Item Not Found for the CategoryHandleImpl.

Can you try re-starting the server and re-running the initialization. If it fails again, set the Team Advisor view to "Show Detail Tree" and drill down to find the primary cause. The Show Detail Tree button is at the top right of the view and has a "tree" of red, green and yellow nodes.
