WorkItem migration tool filter

First off thanks for releasing the tool to help us out. I'm excited about offering a solution that doesn't involve manual work and manual mistakes :)

I'd like to know if it is possible to filter the work items being converted. My first conversion attempt failed on closed sprint retrospective items and I don't care about those so I'd like to filter them.

If it is possible is it done in the WorkItemSort.xslt file?

Let me know.

Re: WorkItem migration tool filter

I've started getting this error:

The requested Performance Counter is not a custom counter, it has to be initialized as ReadOnly.

any ideas?

Re: WorkItem migration tool filter

a reboot of the server took care of that issue. It was windows related anyway. I managed a crude filter by changing the template match from <xsl:template match="WorkItem"> to <xsl:template match="//WorkItem[Classification/System.WorkItemType!='Sprint Retrospective Item']">. I did this because it kept failing on sprint retrospective items. I'd like to filter out even more now.

If I delete the XML files from the export process before a date of my choice will it just import what is left?

Hi cmcleod,

Sorry for not picking up on your thread sooner. Looks like you've made good progress already. In answer to your question:

  • If I delete the XML files from the export process before a date of my choice will it just import what is left?

    Deleting the any of the xml export files will most likely cause an error. The files need to be applied in the correct chronological order. This is to ensure that the work items are created in the same sequence as original project. Work item linking depends on the existance related work items, so if they don't exist in the project an exception will occur.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Crispin Parker,
