SCM tools version 6.x #41

Closed ycon-company closed 6 years ago

ycon-company commented 7 years ago

I currently use scmtools v5.0.2 for the migration process Sometimes during migration I encounter issues and errors deriving from scmtools cli, and I read online that many of these issues are resolved in v6. However, when trying to run migration with scmtools v6.x it seems not compatible with rtc2gitcli.

Do you have any suggestions / experience with using scmtools v6.x for migration process?

Thanks! Yael

@ycon123 unfortunately we got no experiences using v6.x versions, due the fact that we have migrated now almost 2 years ago. What I know out of the past that your client should match the actual RTC server version. So if you want to use the v6.x version of the client you will need to upgrade your server to at least also an v6.x version first...

Our RTC server is already V6 I thought maybe someone who tried migration with scmtools v6 could have some suggestions..

Sadly, we dont know anybody in person, who have tried migration with scmtools v6. Did you try using the docker image of rtcTo/rtc2git-docker?

Unless you havent tried, you can also try rtcTo/rtc2git. It's maybe a bit less likely to fail and easier to adjust, in case of errors.

I can try using the docker image. However - isn't just an image using scmtool v5 as advised in the rtc2git documentation? I believe the errors I experience will reproduce in this environment also.. but I'm willing to try!

About the rtc2git project - I remember I read in one of the issues that this tool may be slower and maybe rtc2gitcli is better for migrating large scale projects and changesets (which is what we are facing).

I've updated the rtc2git-docker project for v6.x lately with some additions of @akoptelov made in the past. In the project README you should find a documentation how to get a docker image that contains the correct RTC version including the rct2gitcli extension.

He could may be help you also with some hints when you got problems with rtc2gitcli within the docker image.

@ycon123 Sorry for missing the thread. Actually I did migration using scmtools v60 to match our server version and found no issues with it. Can you describe what kind of incompatibility you encountered? And how did you build the extension?

Hi @akoptelov !

Details about my environment: RTC server - v6.0.2 Eclipse Mars 64bit + RTC plugin v6.0.2 I import the rtc2gitcli project as Maven project to Eclipse. Then I configure target platform to be location of scm.exe on my local disk.

When I choose scmtool_v5 I am able to run migrate-to-git commands (specifically help migrate-to-git runs successfully) But when I choose scmtools_v6 as target platform - I get the attached message. image

I'm currently logged into #slack if someone if available to chat about this issue..:)

I was able to reproduce the same error using scm tools 6.0.2. In the meantime im in slack too.
