Hello,
Did anyone was able to successfully migrate data from clearquest to JIRA ? are there any tools/addon available ? JIRA cookbook refers to third party or csv importer but i believe csv importer wont bring the attachments ? is there an easy way to import field values along with attachments ? can someone with good insight share on how to go about the migration ?
-Thanks
I was able to migrate data using external perl script using clearquest api, JIRA Rest Client. I dont know that there are plugins available for that.
Otherwise you can export the data out from clearquest as a .csv file and import it into JIRA after a proper mapping
How did you import attachments?
clearquest - while exports it exports the attachments with CQ ID. while importing the clearquest data into JIRA create a seperate field to store the CQ ID and then add the attachments using that CQ ID field
so i believe export in CQ is via Cq eclipse client ? can u elobarate in detail about import ? how do you attach the attachment using CQ filed ? will it import attachments to attachment field in JIRA one to one mapping ? how about if CQ id has more than one attachment will it import that too ?
can u elobarate in detail about import ? how do you attach the attachment using CQ filed ? will it import attachments to attachment field in JIRA one to one mapping ? how about if CQ id has more than one attachment will it import that too ?
Also when i did CQ export via CQ eclipse client the attachments were created separate folder and when i open the csv file the attachment field is empty so how do the importer work ? the document mentions that in the attachments field specify the URL of your attachment in an 'Attachments' column within your CSV file how do you do that ?
when you export from clear quest, it creates a folder with the CQ ID right which contains all the attachments.
When you import that data in JIRA , create a custom field called ClearQuest ID and map it to the clearquest id.
Once the import is complete in Jira, you can use that QID and find the corresponding folder and add all the files as an attachment to JIRA
So the attachment has to be done manually ? i have more than 6k tickets
