Hi All,

I would be very thankful for your guidance over some of my doubts.
Recently I had an issue with the importing of work items in RTC
v2.0.0.2.
I am using RTC Eclipse Client v2.0.0.2 on Windows OS. In order to
export and import the work items from one Project area to another, I
created a new Project area as that of original one with the
Project customization . Also I have created the Team area and
Iterations in line, created a WI Query to export with respect to the
Team Area.
Also while importing, have selected all the details required(eg. due
date, time spent, estimate, comments, description, etc.).
In the replica PA only few WIs are getting imported (1170 out of
1290).
Also I tried to create Customized reports using the work items.
Every report shows the timestamp as the date when i imported but not
the work item creation date.
Can you please guide me where am i doing wrong .

Hi Geoff,
Thanks for the response.


The first thing I'd look for is how the work items that
are not getting
imported differ (in terms of field values) from those that are getting

imported.
The main difference is with the comments .
The comments for a workitem are not completely copied
accordingly.

Also, when you say "only few WI's are getting
imported" and then "1170
out of 1290", does that mean that 1170 *did not* get imported,
i.e. only
120 did get imported?
No 1170 out of 1290 are getting imported while the remaining 120
are are not getting imported

WRT the timestamp, I believe there is a request to allow
that to be controlled by the import, but currently, I believe that
this has to be the "real" creation date from the
perspective of the repository, i.e.
when it was imported.
Can you please elaborate over this?
