For a list of migration specifics, see Migration Specifics & Limitations.
After migrating ALM users and execution statuses, you can run several instances of the wizard to start simultaneous migration of multiple projects. The project migration procedure consists of three stages:
Pre-migration steps
Make sure the names of all ALM tests, releases, cycles, phases and so on contain at least two characters. If you have such entities, please rename them before migration. Otherwise, they will be ignored.
Rename ALM release folders if they contain special or international characters. Otherwise, they will be ignored.
Run the downloaded
.jarfile.
Migration steps
Run the migration wizard in the browser and specify the required data:
1. Open your browser and enter <IP address>:<port> where <IP address> is that of the computer where you ran the JAR file and <port> is the port number you specified when running the JAR file. For example, localhost:44444. The migration wizard will open:
2. Populate all the fields on the Zephyr & HP QC Configuration page and click Save Config:
You must log in to Zephyr as test.manager and your ALM administrator account must have access to all ALM modules.
3. On the subsequent screen, review the values, update them if needed, then click Next:
4. The next screen lists three options:
- Migrate All ALM Users, Testcase & TestStep Execution Status
- Migrate a Project
- Disable Users
Select Migrate a Project and click Next:
5. Select the QC domain to which the project belongs in HP ALM and click Next:
6. Select the project you want to migrate and click Next:
7. The wizard will show a list of entities available in the specified HP ALM project. Choose the entities you want to import to Zephyr and click Start Importing:
You can choose to migrate only some of the entities. For example, if you unselect Releases, all the items related to releases will be unselected as well. In this case, no releases will be migrated. All the migrated test cases will be placed in the Project test Repository folder, and all the migrated requirements will be placed in the Project Requirements folder.
Migrated test step attachments will be in the Attachments section of test cases. Test steps have no attachments in Zephyr.
Now, to start migrating another project:
1. Create a new folder and place the .jar file in it.
2. Run the file and specify another port in the following command: java -jar -Dserver.port=44444 -Xms2048m -Xmx2048m hpqc-zee-x.x.x.jar.
3. Repeat all the migration steps (1-7), but this time, enter the port number you specified in the command.
4. Start a new wizard instance in a new browser tab.
The number of concurrent migration sessions is not limited, however, we recommend that you launch a reasonable number of instances to avoid performance issues.
8. After the migration completes, you will see a report in each instance of the wizard:
Post-migration steps
After migrating all of your projects, you need to do the following:
Disable the users that are disabled in HP ALM (all the imported users are enabled in Zephyr).
Perform full reindexing in Zephyr.
