TFS Integration Platform – which configuration template should I use? Q&A-35

We have noticed the question “which template should I select” from users of the TFS Integration Platform when creating a new session configuration. The product “currently” ships with the following configuration templates:

Template	Technology Environment	When to consider …
VersionControl.xml	TFS, TFS	Migration of version control data between TFS Servers
VersionControlAndWorkItemTracking.xml	TFS, TFS	Migration of version control and work item tracking data between TFS Servers
WorkItemTracking.xml	TFS, TFS	Migration of work item tracking data between TFS Servers, with identical process templates
WorkItemTracking_ExplicitFieldMap.xml	TFS, TFS	Migration of work item tracking data between TFS Servers, with different process templates and the need for explicit field mapping
ClearCase.xml	TFS, IBM Rational	Migration of version control data between TFS and ClearCase servers
ClearQuest.xml	TFS, IBM Rational	Migration of work item tracking data between TFS and ClearQuest servers
FileSystem_To_TFS2008	TFS, File System	Migration of version control data from the file system to a TFS 2008 server
FileSystem_To_TFS2008	TFS, FileSystem	Migration of version control data from the file system to a TFS 2010 server
… more to come :)

Looking at the thread of posts TFS Integration Tools (Platform) … The world of TFS Project Template (Agile, Scrum) migrations – Part 3, you will find other possible configuration templates to consider.
