You must migrate each Design
Management project from a version 3 release that you want to re-create
in Design
Management 4.0.1 or later with the same comments and links. You can perform
multiple import actions until the Design
Management 4.0.1 or later project is equivalent to the Design
Management project from the version 3 release.
If the project contains several source folders, you can perform
incremental import actions where you add extra source folders to
the import definition before each import request. With the multiple
import process, you can create snapshots for partial project data.
The comments and links for resources that do not exist are not created
until the corresponding models are imported.
- In a browser, log on to the Design Management Server and create a new project area in Design
Management 4.0.1 or later that has the exact same name as the version 3 project
to migrate. You can add the same users and roles. After the migration,
you can create links to other Jazz™ applications; you must create project associations. If you do not
create project associations, the imported links will work if the friend
server connections are defined.
- Configure the space for the new project. Custom link types
do not migrate, but you can create them after a project is imported.
In Design
Management 4.0.1 or later, the predefined links are already deployed.
- Create the corresponding import definition for the Design
Management 4.0.1 or later project that uses the same source folders and path
maps that were used in the version 3 release of Design
Management.
- Perform the import process. You can perform the import
process multiple times if you incrementally add extra source folders
to the import definition.
