The first post was the high level overview. Now it is time for the details on what was done
to the existing CMMI Project based on CMMI v 4.2. The first step was
to go into Visual Studio, then from the Team Project Collection Settings and then
to the Process Template Manager. Once there, it was a matter of selecting the appropriate template (MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0) and download
to a point I could reference later (for example C:\Templates). Then on
to using the steps from the guidance post. Since I was using an x64 deployment, I will make reference
to the path as <toolpath>, however the actual path
to reference in a 64-bit environment is “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE”. As I mentioned on the previous post, make sure
to first perform a backup of the Configuration, Collection and Warehouse DBs. If you did not apply any changes
to the names and such, then you will find those as tfs_Configuration, tfs_DefaultCollection and tfs_Warehouse. Now, the work needed with the witadmin tool: That includes the uploading of the structures that differ from v4.2
to v5.0 There is likely going
to be an issue with the naming of some fields. For example, TFS 2010 likes something along the lines of “Area ID”, whereas TFS 2008 would have had it as “AreaID”. So, this will need
to be corrected. Some posts will have you go through this after the errors pop up. I would recommend doing this process prior
to executing the importwitd process. witadmin listfields /collection:<path
to collection> > c:\ListFields.txt Review the following fields: AreaID, review the Name property and validate if it states “AreaID”, the you will need
to rename the Name field
to reflect “Area ID”. ExternalLinkCount, RelatedLinkCount, HyperLinkCount, AttachedFileCount and IterationID would be the other fields
to check.
To correct the issue, then execute the following: witadmin changefield /collection:<path
to collection> /n:"System.ExternalLinkCount" /name:"External
Link Count" Repeat for Area ID, Related
Link Count, Hyperlink Count, Attached File Count and Iteration ID. Once this is done, proceed with the commands below. witadmin importwitd /collection:<path
to collection> /p:<project> /f:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\WorkItem Tracking\TypeDefinitions\TestCase.xml" witadmin importwitd /collection:<path
to collection> /p:<project> /f:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\WorkItem Tracking\TypeDefinitions\SharedStep.xml" witadmin importcategories /collection:<path
to collection> /p:<project> /f:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\WorkItem Tracking\categories.xml" Modifications
to the Bug Definition: First step is
to export the existing definition. witadmin exportwitd /collection<path
to collection> /p:<project> /n:bug /f:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\MyBug.xml" Make modifications
to recently exported MyBug.xml file. Details for the modification are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff452591.aspx#ModifyTask Once the changes are done, proceed with the import command witadmin importwitd /collection:<path
to collection> /p: <project> /f:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\MyBug.xml" Repeat the process for the the Scenario or Requirement Type Definition witadmin exportwitd /collection<path
to collection> /p:<project> /n:requirement /f:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\MyRequirement.xml" Make modifications
to recently exported MyRequirement.xml file. Details for the modification are here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff452591.aspx#ModifyTask Once the changes are done, proceed with the import command witadmin importwitd /collection:<path
to collection> /p: <project> /f:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\MyRequirement.xml" Provide the Bug Field Mapping definition, after creating the file as specified here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff452591.aspx#TCMBugFieldMapping tcm bugfieldmapping /import /mappingfile:"<path
to downloaded template>\MSF for CMMI Process Improvement v5.0\bugfieldmappings.xml" /collection:<path
