12. To Migrate or to Integrate? Migrate Replace the existing system/tool with Team Foundation Server This may require some customization Integrate Leave the existing system/tool in place to co-exist with Team Foundation Server This will require some customization

13. Some Common Scenarios Full Migration Work items, version control, builds Partial Migration TFS for version control TFS for version control + work items TFS for version control + builds Integration with existing systems Work items (requirements and/or defects) Build system Testing tools

14. Migrating Using Available Client Tools

15. Migrating Work Items Many tools available for migration CQConverter.exe – for IBM ClearQuest http://tinyurl.com/ch67qb Microsoft Excel copy/paste,.csv &.xml files TFPT.EXE WORKITEM … Work Item Object Model TFS Migration and Synch. Toolkit (CodePlex) TFS to TFS Migration Tool (CodePlex)

24. Work Item Object Model Scenarios Create Get Edit Save View history

25. Version Control Object Model Scenarios Create and manage workspaces Get, check-out, check-in Manage pending changes Label, branch, merge, shelve, unshelve Custom check-in policies

26. Team Build Object Model Scenarios Create and manage build definitions Queue a build Determine who requested a build Determine all files associated with a build Accessing a finished builds log Creating a custom MSBuild task Team Build API Reference (.chm file) http://tinyurl.com/dbl8tt

27.
