What happens if an error occurs in the middle of migrating thousands of work items #1767

Hi @MrHinsh and Team! Firstly, I would like to understand the behavior of the migration process in the event of an error. Specifically, if I am in the midst of migrating approximately 10,000 work items and encounter an error, will the migration come to a halt, or will it continue for the items unaffected by errors? Secondly, I am interested in exploring the possibility of migrating by batch, particularly based on work item types. If I choose this approach, will I lose the Related Work Links? Given that one of the projects I am working on involves the migration of nearly 13,000 work items, I am seeking advice on the best strategy for such a sizable migration. I appreciate your assistance and guidance on these matters. Thank you in advance! |

The tool will restart from a failure at the revision level. Mostly it will continue and we may lose some revisions for a work item. These can be reclaimed by a re-run.
The links are added as each work item is processed. So if a work item does not exist it does not add links to it. However, when that other work item is processed it will add the links back. So, you can run a migration is whatever config you like and be sure that all the links will work. |
