Importing Bugzilla bugs

You can create work items based on the content of Bugzilla bug reports.
About this task
To import Bugzilla bugs:
  1. Click File > Import.
  2. In the Import wizard, expand Team and select Bugzilla Bug Reports. Click Next. Specify the location of the bugs (either the URL of a Bugzilla repository or a zip that contains bugs). For example, https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/.

    Specify the range of bugs to import. You can specify one bug, a range of bug numbers, or all bugs associated with a particular product.

    If the repository requires authentication, select Server requires authentication, and enter a user name and password.

    In the Options section, specify whether to import the bugs directly into a project area or as XML data into a zip file. If you import into a project area, you can select Use custom data mapping and specify an XML file to use to configure the mapping of Bugzilla bug fields to work item properties. Click Save Default As to save the default XML file used for mapping.

    To create a custom data mapping, click Compute from Data. The bugzilla_mapping.xml file opens. Modify this file to specify the mapping of Bugzilla attributes and values to Jazz™ attributes and values. Specify the modified XML file in the XML File field.

    Restriction: The Description field can contain no more than 32,768 characters.

    Click Finish to start the import operation.
