3.0.1 Simple Project Move Article
I was reviewing some of the articles and came across this one:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RTC301SimpleProjectMove I was really interested in this because this is very similar to what I am trying to do right now. Whether it's moving items from a project area on the same server/repository or another server/repository, the steps seem to be the same to move it and merge it into an existing project area. However, there are some tools mentioned but not attached and the author's e-mail no longer works. Does anyone know if there has been any further progress on such work? Or even if the tools are publicly available for testing? Despite being able to move work items and source. My understanding is generally that there are the following limitations: 1. Any queries in the source project area will have to be re-created in the target project area. 2. Same with any dashboards. 3. Mentions of work item and attachment numbers in comments of work items being exported/imported will be incorrect due to new unique IDs if creating work items on a new target server. Is my understanding correct? Or am I missing further options using the APIs somehow? |

I was reviewing some of the articles and came across this one: I stand corrected on at least one of my statements. It appears they may be other options when moving from one project area to another on the same server as indicated by these threads: https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=61533#61533 https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6624 However, I don't see any updated plugin or support for this on 3.0 or 3.0.1. My questions regarding everything else remain the same. |
i'm also trying to move work items, i'd like to move the whole project, from one repository to another, and was looking at the "RTC301SimpleProjectMove article mentioned - one main problem "LINKS". The big power of RTC and the other JAZZ based tools are the artifacts can all be linked together - but you loose all those links if you migrate - that's kind of stupid!
also, the article says you can preserve "change sets", which are just another kind of link, but it says you have to run a tool called "TAN" and when I click to find out, i get ACCESS DENIED.... here is what the article says: "If you plan on re-creating the links between change sets and work items, ensure the tags and description are exported. Then install the Migration Assistant Plugin? into RTC, click on your query in the TAN and run Preserve Work Items for Export. " SO, what is this MIGRATION ASSISTANT PLUGIN?? what is TAN?? why can't we actually move work items from one repository to another, with all the DATA? ken I was reviewing some of the articles and came across this one: |

TAN is an abbreviation for "Team Artifacts Navigator", which is an
Eclipse view. To my knowledge, the "Migration Assistant Plug-in" is not sufficiently developed to be used by anyone other than the development team (if anyone knows otherwise, please follow-up with details). Also note that this is a wiki entry, and as a reminder, the top of every page of the wiki has the following highlighted note: ----------- NOTE: The development wiki is a work area used by the Jazz development teams to plan and discuss technical designs and operational procedures related to the development projects at Jazz.net. Often you will find work items linking to documents in the wiki. Everyone is welcome to browse the wiki, follow along, and participate in the development process. Participation is what Jazz.net is all about! But please keep in mind that information on the wiki is "as is", unsupported, and may be outdated or inaccurate. For information on released products, consult the product documentation, support tech notes, and the Jazz.net library. ------------ See work item 93151 to track and/or comment on actual cross-repository project area move support.

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
