Migration From ClearCase to TFS2010, problem with mapping of users from CC to TFS

Question

I am using a dynamic view for my Clearcase (7.1.2.1) source and attempting to migrate to TFS2010. The company I'm wworking for looking into changing our SCM system into a new one, so we are looking at some different SCM systems.

After some troubles with the xml configuration file I managed to get the migration from CC to TFS to work. But, when I look at a file in TFS and choose View History I relaize that the all of the revisions of a file is marked by same user (the user which has done the migration), not the user which has actually done the change in Clear Case. I'm using the ClearCase Detailed History Adapter for the migration.

My question is, is the TFS Integration Tool able to maintain the history of who has done the changes ? I will provide my xml configuration file, maybe somebody can point out if I'm missing some configurations to get the user mapping into TFS as well.

Answer 1

Re: Is the TFS Integration Tool able to maintain the history of who has done the changes?

No, I'm sorry, but the current implementation of the TFS Integration Platform does not maintain the user identity when migrating to or from ClearCase.

Re: Is the TFS Integration Tool able to maintain the history of who has done the changes?

No, I'm sorry, but the current implementation of the TFS Integration Platform does not maintain the user identity when migrating to or from ClearCase.

 

Is there any plans for supporting this in the tool at a later stage ?

Answer 3

Can we tweak the configuration file to use simple replacement mapping and provide the values? Something along these lines:

<ValueMap name="UserMap">

  <Value LeftValue="michaf" RightValue="Michael Affronti (PM)" />

  <Value LeftValue="aprist" RightValue="April Stewart (Dev Lead)" />

  <Value LeftValue="dorikr" RightValue="Doris Krieger (Dev)" />

</ValueMap>
