STEPS TO MIGRATE VSS 6.0 PROJECTs TO TFS 2010

STEPS TO MIGRATE VSS 6.0 PROJECTs TO TFS 2010

Step 1: Keep your “Data” Directory of VSS 6.0 ready and importantly “VS 2005 should not be installed on the same machine”.

Step 2: Bind the “Data” Directory to VSS 6.0.

Step 3: Once Bind verify the Projects.

Step 4: Uninstall VSS 6.0 from machine > Restart if required (Recommended).

Step 5: Install VS 2005.

Step 6: Install VSS 2005 + SP1

Step 7: Verify the project in VSS 2005

Step 8: Create “settings.xml” file with the below mentioned content

     

           

                  C:\VSSDatabase

">

           

           

            $/FolderA

">

           

     

     

      

    

You need to have following .dll files at same directory where above file is created:

1.       Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Client.dll

2.       Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Common.dll

3.       Microsoft.TeamFoundation.dll

4.       Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Client.dll

5.       Microsoft.TeamFoundation.VersionControl.Common.dll

6.       Microsoft.TeamFoundation.WorkItemTracking.Client.dll

Above .dll files can be found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ReferenceAssemblies\v2.0

Step 9: Once above file is created, run the following command in Visual Studio Command Prompt > VSSConverter Analyze settings.xml

            It will create Analysis.xml output file, which will be used for Migration to TFS

Step 10: Now, Create “tfs_migration.xml” file with the below mentioned content

     

           

                  C:\VSSDatabase

">

                  C:\Migrate\Usermap.xml

">

           

           

                  $/FolderA

" Destination="$/TeamProjectA">

           

     

     

            server_name

" port="port_number" protocol="protocol" collection="tfs/DefaultCollection">

     

Step 11: Create a project in TFS named TeamProjectA (if project not created mentioned in above file)

Step 12: Run Command “VSSConverter Migrate tfs_migration.xml” in VS Command Prompt.
