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:
- Phase 1: Export the content of the source repository into a .tar
file
- Phase 2: Replicate the content of the .tar file into the target
repository
- Phase 3: Use the metadata file from Phase 2 to create a URL mapping
table
Procedure
- 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.
- From the list of available projects, select the projects
to be moved and export the contents into a .tar file.
- 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.
- Use the metadata file to create a URL mapping table.
- After the move is complete, you can delete the project
items from the target repository.
