Title: RE: [OzTFS] Copying workitems from one server to another
Hi Grant,
 
I am working on a WorkItem Manager tool at the moment that should be able to do what you are talking about. My primary deliverable is to allow the removal of default work items from the process template and then allow you to selectively inject work items from a store of workitems into your new team project. One of my clients has reasonably different default work items depending on the project type or category and I didn't want to have to maintain multiple process templates for this. While what you are trying to do is not the same, it should be much of a change to add this functionality.
 
I will see if I can add a bulk import/export feature to the tool and get back to you.
 
Cheers

Anthony

That is what I have done in the past. And Mitch is spot-on - that is my concern.
 
If you use Excel to copy work items and re-import them in, you lose lot's of valuable information like "links", "attachments" and multi-line descriptions.

Be careful doing that – it doesn’t do the multi line descriptions properly.

Exporting WI queries to Excel has worked nicely in the past.

Subject: [OzTFS] Copying workitems from one server to another

Hello all,

Has anybody worked out a way to copy work items from one server to another - without doing it individually.

I was thinking that I could probably use the new "tfpt.exe query" and pipe the output into "tfpt.exe workitem" - just wanted to know if anybody had seen it done before I invest the time.
