Custom import XML
Hello,
I've been battling Bugzilla imports and I'm trying to take a generated
mapping file and add 1 additional attribute. That looks like
this in the RTC repository (configuration xml)
<customAttributes>
<customAttribute>
</customAttributes>
I added this to a generated mapping xml:
<attribute>
And my bug source files look like:
<xml>
<bugzilla>
<bug>
<bug_id>24518</bug_id>
<creation_ts>2008-05-27 06:18:58</creation_ts>
<reporter>kxxxxxx@us.ibm.com</reporter>
<short_desc>We Couldn't Login in CMDB-DM while Creating usergroups withAd..</short_desc>
<delta_ts>2008-10-01 14:56:14</delta_ts>
<component>cmdb.ecmdb</component>
<prefix>p</prefix>
<bug_status>NEW</bug_status>
<bug_resolution></bug_resolution>
<bug_severity>High</bug_severity>
<assigned_to>jxxxxxxx@us.ibm.com</assigned_to>
....
</bug></bugzilla>
Import doesn't pick up the value 'p' in the file.
Am I reading all the docs wrong ? Is the bugzilla importer fixed in what
fields it's willing to import ?

Hi Kevin,
If I understand you correctly, you have created a custom attribute in the process spec and have modified the generated data mapping file to map the Bugzilla prefix field to this custom attribute. Your custom attribute should look something like this in the process spec:
<customAttributes category="com.ibm.team.workitem.workItemType">
<customAttribute id="com.ibm.workitem.attribute.custom.prefix" name="Prefix" type="smallString"/>
</customAttributes>
Then in the generated mapping file, there should be an entry like this:
<attribute sourceId="prefix" targetId="com.ibm.workitem.attribute.custom.prefix">
</attribute>

But when I open the project configuration I see this:
<customAttribute id="prefix" name="Prefix" type="smallString"/>
Thus it is not named com.ibm.team.workitem.anything.
I did find a enhancement yesterday in Jazz repository with a patch jar to fix some
issues with imports and 'non-standard' fields. Not being an Eclipse Guru I couldn't
get the fix to have any effect.

Ok,
THIS hurdle is solved by v 1.0.1 of RTC client. However now I need to discover if
I can direct the import to a specific workItemType ....
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
If the value of the Bugzilla field that you are mapping to the work item type matches the work item type ids (defect, enhancement, etc), then you can add an entry similar to the following in your data mapping:
<attribute>
Otherwise, you will need to add value mappings for the transformation.

Sorry, I see the html was stripped.
<attribute sourceId="type" targetId="com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.workitemtype" />
Lorelei
Ok, I don't quite follow where this would fit in. Are you saying that if I have that in my
mapping, I can say
<type>some-type</type>
somewhere at the beginning of my input xml ?
Hi Kevin,
Short answer is yes.
Long answer is the data mapping file needs to contain the mapping between the Bugzilla fields and Jazz fields. If you want to map to the Jazz work item type field, the target id value would be "com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.workitemtype". As an example, if you had a Bugzilla field named type that you wanted to map to the Jazz work item type, then you need to have
<attribute sourceId="type" targetId="com.ibm.team.workitem.attribute.workitemtype" />
in the data mapping file. Then in the data input file, there would be an xml tag for type:
<type>enhancement</type>
This is assuming that the value for type is an identical match of the work item type ids.
