Tool 1: Team Foundation Server Integration Tools – Comprehensive package to help teams that are migrating from 3rd party ALM tools to TFS. Tool 2: TFS Integration Platform – This platform enables the development of two major classifications of tools: tools that move data unidirectional into TFS, and tools that synchronize data bidirectional. Tool 3: VSS Converter Tool Walkthrough – In this walkthrough you will find detailed information about how to prepare a SourceSafe database and user list for migration to Team Foundation Server.

 

Tool 1:Team Foundation Server Integration Tools (March 2011 Release)

Team Foundation Server – Migration and Integration Forum

Description:

The TFS Integration Tools is a project developed by the Team Foundation Server (TFS) product group and the Visual Studio ALM Rangers to integrate Team Foundation Server with third party systems for migration and synchronization of data. Although the tools can be used for many purposes, planning, thorough testing and honest evaluation of extra resources and cost that will be required should precede any decision to use the Integration Tools. The Integration Tools are not intended to replace a server upgrade as a path to TFS2010 and this scenario should be avoided if possible.

This release (March 2011) is an update to the August 2010 release that fixes several important bugs that were reported by customers. No new scenarios are enabled in this release. If you are using the August 2010 release, you should upgrade to this release by uninstalling your current tool and installing this version in its place.

Tool 2:TFS Integration Platform(From Codeplex)

TFS Integration Platform – Home

Description:

The TFS Integration Platform is a project developed by the Team Foundation Server (TFS) product group and the Visual Studio ALM Rangers to facilitate the development of tools that integrate TFS with other systems. Currently, the scope of this project is to enable TFS to integrate with other version control and work-item/bug tracking systems, but the eventual goal of this project is to enable integration with a broader range of tools/systems (i.e. build). This platform enables the development of two major classifications of tools: tools that move data unidirectionally into TFS, and tools that synchronize data bidirectionally.

Tool 3:Walkthrough: Migrating from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation

Walkthrough: Migrating from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation

Description:Visual Studio 2008

This walkthrough describes how to migrate from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation using the VSS converter tool, VSSConverter.exe. For information about how to prepare the database for migration, see Walkthrough: Preparing to Migrate from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation. In that walkthrough you will find detailed information about how to prepare a SourceSafe database and user list for migration to Team Foundation and gain a better understanding of how the migration process works.

In this walkthrough, you will accomplish the following tasks:

• Modify the settings file to specify which folders to migrate.

• Run the converter to migrate the source from Visual SourceSafe to Team Foundation and generate a migration report.
