Should ImportFBS bring history into Continua

Thanks for providing an upgrade tool from FBS to continua. That should save a stack of work on my side of things. 

I notice that the import process doesn't bring across the 2+ years of unit test results I had stored in FBS. It would be nice if some of those metrics were migrated seamlessly across. I notice that SQL.dbo.builds_unittest include a lot of detailed information, which is excellent to know. 

I've got a lot of nunit testresults.xml files triggered from FBS, could they get imported into that table by some other method?

Hi Jamie

The FBS import is never going to be able to bring evertything across. It is only looking at the xml config files for FBServer, it’s not talking to the log server (which is where the metrics are stored in FBS). Migrating builds, history etc from FBS really isn’t a simple task.

Our initial plan was to not offer an import at all since the two products are so different from each other… but we decided to try and do the simple stuff like projects etc to give a leg up if someone is converting from FBS to Continua.

Oh and importing the unit test files isn’t really an option either, as unit tests need to be associated with a build which won’t exist in Continua…
