TFS2012 Migration + Change project template

Question

Hi,

I'm envisionning a migration according to the following needs :

- Migration from TFS2010 -> TFS2012 (new server)

- Change process template

- Keep WIT and source code history, but do not keep old WIT customizations.

So, my conclusion is that TFS integration is the only way.

--- 1. Could you confirm ?

I made a quick test with TFS integration on a dummy project. (SC and WIT at the same time)

Everything is well migrated excepted the association changeset / WIT.

Seen in the history of the migrated WIT :
Resolved with changeset 106: Here a comment
(TFS Integration from 'vsalm (WIT)' Id: 46 (rev 2);)

... where 106 is the # of the original changeset and 46 is the # of the original WIT..

--- 2. Any idea ?

Thanks

Hi jldupin,

Thanks for your post!

Do you mean you use TFS Integration Platform to migrate from TFS 2010 to TFS 2012?

To migrate the sources code and WIT, TFS Integration Platform is supposed to do the work. It migrates the changeset history as well. Can you post the related errors here?

About "Change process template", you can refer to http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/EU/tfsprocess/thread/d380ce47-beee-488f-9ecc-dfc3de71d0cb

Hope it helps!

Yes, this is what I meant.

I'm not very confortable with this solution.

I would prefer an 'official' way, like using TFS Integration or 'upgrade scenario' in TFS 2012 new hardware installation.

Thanks
