Here are the migration details and migration notes for projects and
categories.
Migration Overview
- The public and private projects are retained appropriately.
- The project members in CTF 8.1 consist of users assigned a role in the
current project.
Note: In CEE, a project member must have a role whereas, in
CTF 8.1, a user can be a project member without being assigned a
role.
- Locked projects in CEE are migrated as locked projects to CTF 8.1.
Note: The
locked projects seem to allow certain actions even after being locked.
For example, forums can still be monitored by administrators.
- CEE projects that are imported into CTF 8.1 can be selectively deleted, if
required.
- CEE's Project groups project is migrated as a regular project in CTF 8.1.
Members of the Project groups project are migrated as it's child projects in
CTF 8.1.
- In CEE, categories could behave as projects, having tools like tracker,
documents, discussion and so on. However in CTF 8.1, categories are plain
containers which have projects in them, enabling any project to be placed in
a category. CTF 8.1 categories do not have project tools like tracker,
documents, discussions etc.
Note: Categories from CEE to CTF
8.1 are
migrated in two steps:
- A CTF category (with the same CEE category name) is created
- The tool data (eg. artifacts, documents, discussions etc) are
migrated into a CTF 8.1 project with the CEE category name.
.
Consider this example. Assuming there exists a CEE category (named -
"cat") having projects (proj1, proj2) with tool data of its own
(document folders: folder1, folder2). When this category is migrated to
CTF 8.1, a CTF 8.1 category called "cat" is created, and the projects
(proj1 and proj2) are placed in this category. Also, a CTF 8.1 project
"cat" is created which holds the tool data that the category had in CEE
(document folders folder1, folder2).
- The project-subproject, category-subcategory association is maintained.

Notes
- In CTF 8.1, unapproved projects (requested project) are just
project-creation requests, with the project name and description. However,
in CEE, unapproved projects can be actively used by the project creators. As
the unapproved projects are conceptually different between CEE and CTF 8.1,
these projects are not migrated.
- The IsDeleted field in CTF 8.1 corresponds to whether the project is deleted
or not in CEE.
- If the project creation date is not found in the audit log, the fall-back
value specified in the
/opt/collabnet/cee_dump_load/conf/c6migrate.conf
file is used.
- The Date Created field in CEE does not have an equivalent field in CTF
8.1.
- There is no default project language in CTF 8.1.
- The monitoring feature in CTF 8.1 supports desired user notification.
- In CTF 8.1 a project is created "Private" by default.
- In CTF 8.1, the "Artifact Code" is constant across the site. It is not
configurable project-wise.
- In CTF 8.1, the project creator becomes default project owner.
- CEE categories have project tools while the CTF 8.1 categories do not have
tools.
- The name of the category can be edited in CTF 8.1.
- Only the site administrator can create project category in CTF 8.1.
