Hi Julia

I am struggling with Step 1. I follow your instructions, but I get the error "Input String not in correct format" as well. The requirements do not get loaded, nor is the a task created named: <DONOTDELETEORCHANGE><TestCaseMigratorPlus><LinksMetaData><Stored as a Task work item>.

If you could email me your xls example that would be good. alexszarko@hotmail.co.uk Many Thanks

New Post: No prompt for proxy authentication credentials

hellofawedge — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 05:56:25 GMT

I'm trying to connect to my fresh TF Service instance and test the migration of work items using tcmimport from within a corporate environment. The TCMImport connection attempt fails as proxy authentication is required, but there's no manual prompts to enter this.

I get the same thing with the Excel Team tab, so I'm guessing the same mechanism is in play.

Is there a workaround here? Or do I just have to attempt again outside the proxy (i.e. from DMZ etc ...).

Cheers

New Post: Multiple steps with multiple expected results

djung42 — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:56:32 GMT

I might be missing something. When I import from Excel that have multiple steps, it works as described and imports the steps as separate line items in the test case. However, I have some expected results for some of the steps. Is there a way I can import a specific expect result into a given step?

For example, if I have a 10 step test case, and step 2 and 7 have expected results, I would hope I can put a carriage return on Expected Result 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10.

Thoughts?

New Post: Problems running from command line

yonitdm — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:36:16 GMT

Here are the contents of my batch file:

"c:\binaries\testcasemigratorplus" excel [source: c:\binaries\RR26714.xls][worksheet: Sheet1][headerrow: 7][collection:http://tfs:8080/defaultcollection][project: TRY][workitemtype: Test Case][settings: c:\binaries\TestCase-settings.xml][report: c:\binaries\Report\]

When I run this I get this:

testcasemigratorplus excel [source: ExcelSourcePath]

[worksheet: WorskSheetName]

[headerrow: HeaderRow]

[collection: TeamProjectCollectionUrl]

[project: TeamProject]

[workitemtype: WorkItemType]

[settings: SettingsFilePath]

[report: ReportFolderPath]

HeaderRow: Excel row containing filed names

Press Enter to Exit...

What is it expecting? After all this, the work items are not created. I was able to successfully migrate one item at a time using the GUI, but we have thousands to do and that is not efficient.

New Post: bug import errors but no xml file generated

petercaito — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 23:52:40 GMT

I am running into an issue where I am migrating bugs from excel (pulled out of another system into a spreadsheet with columns matching TFS). I map all the data through the app and it starts to import but about halfway through it stops each time with the below error:

	Failed	Migrate Work Items	There was an error generating the XML document.
	Failed	Publish Report	No Workitems are migrated

Since no report is generated I am at a loss as to what the problem is. Any ideas?

New Post: Excel format when having test cases with multiple test steps

Esbob — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 09:47:13 GMT

Hi,

I need to migrate test cases from HP Quality Center to TFS and to achieve this I've started by exporting my test cases from QC by running a SQL query within the report generator in QC. This resulted in an Excel file where each test case is represented by one or several rows of data: I use a join in my query so that each test step is joined with the test case data. In other words, I end up with multiple rows of data for one test case, where test case ID, title, description, etc, is precisely the same, only the test step data is different.

Unfortunately, this format does not seem to be supported by TCMImport - test steps must apparently be either placed in one single cell separated by newline or placed on consecutive rows but without content in any other cells than those related to the test steps, ie. action and expected result.

It's far from easy to create a SQL query with a table join where some fields are left blank after the first result row is returned, i.e. a query that would yield a data format directly importable by TCMImport. Since it is not uncommon to export data from a system using SQL queries, I hereby suggest a new feature in TCMImport: Allow data format for test steps to be in a SQL query similar format - make the Excel row parser able to discover that several rows have the same test case title and if so, ignore any other fields, just read the test steps for each row and add them to the test case.

New Post: Test Migrator Plus to support TFS 2012

New Post: difficulties when creating area paths

vlabatut — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:01:44 GMT

Hi,

I'm having very very slow execution time on my VM followed by an error (see below), this happens only when I set the option to create area paths automatically.

This works sometimes for a very few test cases, but generally slows down and crashes.

To figure out,I recompiled locally, the tool was just sleeping in the WaitForTreeNodeId method. My VM is TFS 2010 SP1...

I also created a unit test project to try the AreaAndIterationPathCreator->Create method

I also get an exception at the following code line :

parentUri = m_css.CreateNode(node, parentUri);

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Cannot insert duplicate key row in object 'dbo.tbl_nodes' with unique index 'uq_nodes_parent_name_project_type'. The duplicate key value is (f85d799d-d0f9-47ff-b76c-45c6be4417f5, 8060334d-fef1-442c-8076-2e5bb9a38fdd, TestImport2, ProjectModelHierarchy).
Error 450005, severity 16, state 1 was raised, but no message with that error number was found in sys.messages. If error is larger than 50000, make sure the user-defined message is added using sp_addmessage.

Can you help me with this ?

Regards,

Vincent

New Post: Changed Data showing as Mandatory - Set as not mandatory on TFS

JoeEarly — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 14:34:55 GMT

I have one field I just get to go away. We don't use the "changed on" data in excel when creating our tests, this only happens with MTM.

Now when I am on the "Field mapping" section, changed date is set to be Mandatory.

But on TFS work item list, its not Mandatory. It has no "REQUIRED" flag yet the Importer thinks there is?

Anyone able to help me out?

Cheers

New Post: TF30063: You are not Authorized to access Error

nvkelkar — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 05:09:55 GMT

The issue here is when you try to connect to a remote TFS server from a client. This happens when you already have authenticated tour access via some client tool and you try to connect through TCM.

The resolution here is you can add following line as mentioned below in WorkITemGenerator() constructer and recreate the exe, so that it will re-ensure your Authentication.

TeamProjectCollection.EnsureAuthenticated();

e.g.

TeamProjectCollection = new TfsTeamProjectCollection(new Uri(serverName), new UICredentialsProvider());

TeamProjectCollection.EnsureAuthenticated();

Now after this when you connect , it wikk re-ask you to put your credentials and this will resolve your issue

I've got the same problem, as have several other people in this previous thread: http://tcmimport.codeplex.com/discussions/230783

If you do get it sorted, please do post here to let us know the solution. I'll do likewise if I manage to resolve it!

New Post: How to import Date values

FredSimonsAPEX — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:53:42 GMT

I have test cases the various departments have written in Excel and housed in SharePoint. I have created a crawler program that allows the user to select the folder/sub folder and extract all the test cases and apply all of them to a new Excel spreadsheet. Everything is working great with only one exception. The created date the departments required [original date the test was created] is being moved to an archive date field. The Migration tool appears to be skipping the web part even after I tell it to migrate. I have actually had to in excel convert the string [read from sharepoint housed excel] to double and use the Conversion function to create the date and load the date into the new Excel spreadsheet. It appears like it skips that field. I have tested this manually by creationg a date in an excel spreasheet abd it still does not use that date.

Any help to allow the date imported let me know.

Thanks,

Fred

New Post: how does tool seperate out steps action and expected result data

robertob — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 02:32:19 GMT

what i'm hoping for is an update to this tool or the tfs migration tools that allows me to easily migrating projects from one environment to another or from one process template to a new project using new different process template with test case fidelity and work item links retained. migrating version control repository content I can handle manually.

New Post: how does tool seperate out steps action and expected result data

russweb — Thu, 04 Oct 2012 16:52:15 GMT

Yes, have same problem.
This tool is useless to me w/o an answer for this.
Exporting/Importing records is not a huge leap with Excel.
However, test cases are a nightmare because of test steps. They do not export in a nice fashio (as you see above).
This tool only addresses importing Test cases if you have test steps formatted correctly.

How to we actually MIGRATE from one server to another w/o mass overhead for test steps in the middle?
Currently we have testers migrating 5000 test cases overy by cut/paste of steps because there is not tool to do it correctly.
