Ask a question

Can I make a duplicate (or a copy) of the entire Project Area?

Say I have Project Area 1, I kind of wanted to have Project Area 2 with the exact contents that Project Area 1 has (queries, work items, etc)

We did this with the use of some internal tooling. It isn't perfect, it doesn't copy absolutely everything, but does a pretty good job.  You can contact me offline if you wish and I can point you to this internal team.  We paid them for their services.

In 4.0.1, you can do this in the web client:  https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.jazz.platform.doc/topics/t_exporting_process_templates_web.html.

If you're using an earlier release, you can do this only from the Eclipse client:  https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.jazz.platform.doc/topics/t_create_process_template.html.

But this won't do what the initial request was, which was to get a new project area with "the exact contents that Project Area 1 has (queries, work items, etc)", right?

If you create the process template, you get the process, but you don't get:
1) work items, plans, source code streams, components
2) Releases
3) Work item categories
4) team areas (and their mappings/associations to work item categories)
5) queries (other than pre-defined that are done in the project area config)
6) dashboards for teams

correct?

That's right. Process template only contains some configurations, such as workitem type. No real artifacts are included in a process template.

There is no UI gesture to copy an entire project area but you can extract a process template from a project area and then use that process template to create a new project area. The net result of this will be to create a second project area which has the same process rules, roles, work item definitions etc as the original project area but will not have a copy of artifacts such as work items.
