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 to collection> /teamproject:<project name>
