similar question to Visual Studio Online migration (VSO to VSO) - however we're looking for more than just source code migration. We'd like to take everything, code, work-items including links, test plans, test results, the whole shebang.
Has anyone done this, is it possible - or even better supported?
Microsoft partnered with OpsHub to support this scenario. This recommended over using the TFS Integration Tools.
OpsHub provides a free version of their tool which you can find here. This tool supports migrating:
If you need more features, like migrating a customized process template you'll need to use the paid edition.
This does not work. The OpsHub tool requires a TFS repository as a source, not a VSO repository. Perhaps the commercial version gives the ability, but this isn't clear from the website.
Our company had the same problem 2 months ago and spent more than 2 months scratching my head and wandering what to do. We had project running with outsourcing company and we decided to have the repository with them. When the project was over we wanted to migrate the project to our own VSO.
I was surprised to find out that moving all your changes history is possible only with EXPENSIVE software. No way to pay 5K to move 2-3 projects. We asked Microsoft support and they said we can only change ownership to entire VSO account or pay. Well played MS!
I started googling and asking people and at the end we found out a small company specializing in such services called RuseSoft / www.rusesoft.com. The guys were very helpful and for a few hundred we moved the projects with ALL THE HISTORY! Took them less than 24h from the time we contacted them.
Still wandering why MS does it and OPS Hub is asking for 5K!
Hope that helps!
