Migration from Subversion-Jira to RTC
Hi Experts,
Has anyone done migration of a system from Subversion-Jira-Bamboo to RTC ?
Any clues on how to preserve the link between Jira-Subversion to RTC ?

Hi,
I haven't done this to the extent you ask for. Nevertheless, some hints. You can import from Bugzilla (I believe there is a way to export Jira as Bugzilla format) and you can import from SVN. I am not aware that there is something that imports the links between the entries. I typically suggest a different approach anyway in cases like this. 1. Import just some baselines from the source code and use these as basis for future development. 2. Only import the work items that are still active. If you can keep up the old system some time in case users need to look at the history, you have the opportunity to get to a clean and fresh start. Just a suggestion. I know of some projects that have moved to RTC from other systems and brought the history over. In some cases they created their own tooling for that. In case of SVN and Jira, if you can find a way to map from the SVN to the RTC change sets and from Jiro to RTC work items you could use the API to recreate the linkage. Some ideas (only work items): http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/08/01/uploading-attachments-to-work-items/ http://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2012/09/19/the-rtc-workitem-link-api-linking-workitems-to-other-elements/ It would potentially be possible to use custom properties to mark change sets with SVN information, but I don't think this is part of the import process. |

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.
