Offline project move

Move the contents of a project when both target and source repositories are offline or when both target and source repositories are in different geographies and the latency between the servers is high.

About this task

There are three phases in moving projects from source to the target repository in offline mode:

Procedure

  1. In the Web client or stand-alone client, select Manage Projects.
    Note: You must be logged in as an Administrator to perform a project move.
  2. From the list of available projects, select the projects to be moved and export the contents into a .tar file.
  3. Replicate the contents of the .tar file into the target repository. A metadata file is created which contains the information about the new work item numbers, server name of the new repository, and so on.
  4. Use the metadata file to create a URL mapping table.
  5. After the move is complete, you can delete the project items from the target repository.
