I have seen that migrated changesets with the free migration utility (2.0) no longer migrates the actual user who made those CheckIns

My question is:

¿ What about the changeset check-In date ?

I have read is a Know limitation ( from https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/28a90a17-d00c-4660-b7ae-42d58315ccf2 ):

Point 6:

Version Control Known Limitations

  1. If Branch/Move across project has been done in your on-premises TFS and only some of those projects are selected for migration. Then the utility will convert Branch/Rename (Move) -> to -> Add change type.
  2. Branching of a folder as a new project is not supported by the utility. Since in the VSO the $/ProjectName folder already exists.
  3. Migration of data in a project where tf destroy was performed with /keephistory parameter is not supported in the utility, since the data in question is no longer present in TFS.
  4. Labels created at Collection Level scope will not be migrated.
  5. Migration of check-in notes, check-in policies is not supported.
  6. The Check-in Date of a change set(s) will not be retained in VSO. Instead the current time value will be set by default.

As these limitations are below :

2.3.2 Functionalities Supported (Commercial Utility)

Does it means that The Check-In Date cannot be migrated with free even commercial Version ? Is there any workaround to migrate that check-in date? Or is not possible?

Thanks in advance.

Original changeset check-In date will not be retained in VSO in any of the free or commercial Version of migration utility. But in the commercial version you will get the check-in comment with each change-set in VSO having original check-in information like - check-in by and check-in date.

Original check-in information migration is no longer supported by free version now. You need to use commercial Version to get the original check-in date and user information migrated. Refer to this question for details: OpsHub Migrations don't seem to be running correctly anymore
