IBM SC34-4499-03 manual Migrating project data bases

designate TeamConnection as the Source Code Control provider. From the TeamConnection GUI you can create new work areas (if you have the correct authority), retrieve previous versions of a part, open or process defects, and perform many other actions against parts.

Migrating project data bases

One key issue for programmers and project managers moving from another source code control system to TeamConnection is how to migrate the database of projects. The following describes one way to bring the current level of code for a small to medium sized project into TeamConnection.

Migrating an existing project: The following example illustrates the simplest way to migrate an existing Visual Basic source code control database into TeamConnection. Lets say we were using the ABC source code control system, and we are going to migrate our project, Baylout, to TeamConnection. The idea is to extract all the ®les in Baylout using the ABC source code control system, and then add them as parts in TeamConnection. Follow the steps below to perform this migration.

1.Make ABC the default source code provider. To do this, set the registry key ProviderRegKey to point to the registry entry for source code control provider ABC. See ªInstalling the TeamConnection source code control DLLº on page 268for more information on how to perform this step. Once you complete this step, ABC will be the Source Code Control provider when we open Visual Basic.

2.Start the Visual Basic development environment.

3.Open project Baylout.

4.Extract all the ®les to your system.

5.Exit the Visual Basic development environment.

6.Edit the registry key ProviderRegKey to be:

SOFTWARE\IBM\TeamConnection

See ªInstalling the TeamConnection source code control DLLº on page 268 for more information on how to perform this step. TeamConnection is now the default source code control provider and is attached when the development environment starts.

7.Restart the Visual Basic development environment.

8.Open project Baylout again. Save the Baylout project. The TeamConnection Settings window will display.

9.When the TeamConnection Settings window opens it will have Baylout listed as the project. Fill in the values for family attributes, release, component, and work area, then select OK.

10.Add the ®les toTeamConnection following the steps in the Visual Basic development environment.

11.Repeat these steps until all of your projects are migrated to TeamConnection.
