Migrate Work items Not Teams #2547

I am attempting to upgrade to use a version 16 config instead of a 15.2..
I've got a Work Item Migration configured to migrate a set of work items, however it's erroring as:

{"Timestamp":"2024-12-03T11:55:58.5226939-06:00","Level":"Fatal","MessageTemplate":"Error while running {MigrationContextname}","TraceId":"48645ea5c2ba2f8aef9da05e9c65865c","SpanId":"ae3134754740deec","Exception":"System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: TF400493: A team iteration cannot be created for a tree node that is not an iteration node.\r\n at

I see this in the log
[11:55:57 INF] [16.0.8] Migrating all Teams before the Processor run.
[11:55:57 INF] [16.0.8] TfsTeamSettingsProcessor::InternalExecute: Found 8 teams in Source?
[11:55:58 INF] [16.0.8] -> Settings found for team 'Team123'..
[11:55:58 FTL] [16.0.8] Error while running TfsWorkItemMigrationProcessor

How can I make this NOT try to migrate the teams? I've got the teams configured in the target, and have area paths/iteration paths mapped so things land where I want them, I don't want this to do anything more than move the items I've selected in my query. I have configured a TfsWorkItemMigrationProcessor but have not configured a TfsTeamSettingsProcessorOptions so I am confused as to why it's trying to "Migrate all Teams".

The default behaviour is that the TfsTeamSettingsTool runs to migrate teams.

All of the Tools can be disabled with:

{
  "MigrationTools": {
    "Version": "16.0",
    "CommonTools": {
      "TfsTeamSettingsTool": {
        "Enabled": "False",
      }
    }
  }
}

Thanks @MrHinsh will go apply that. I will double check the docs to ensure I understand what other tools now are set to Opt-Out instead of Opt-in through the configuration ... and I thank you tremendously for all the work you do for this community and tool, but fwiw I am yet not sure I am a fan of Opt-Out through the configuration vs. the Opt-In in the previous version of the tool. I might need to think about situations where that makes sense, but coming from the previous Opt-in method i am feeling confused :D

The dificulty @jeffpriz is that many of the users do not have an understanding of ADO and can easily mess things up. Ive set defaults for things as they arise to minimise issues... I'm happy to have different options. All of the default and samples are listed in the appsettings.json file!

If its a node it will load as below then apply the provided config over the top... if its a list it will load the default... e.g. MigrationTools:EndpointDefaults:TfsEndpoint then the specific config... samples are only for the docs...

just to follow up, I was able to get this configured and running successfully. I did run in to a bug found in v16.0.8 (User map null bug) but it was fixed in 16.0.9 that was release today, so migration is executing!
