Unable to migrate Test plans and Test suites.

[sathish-scantron]

Hello @MrHinsh & Team,

I'm trying to migrate the azure devops Test plan and suites from one org to another org. I used the below json structure in the version 16.1.

{ "ProcessorType": "TfsTestVariablesMigrationProcessor", "Enabled": true, "Processor": "TestVariablesMigrationContext", "SourceName": "Source", "TargetName": "Target" }, { "ProcessorType": "TfsTestConfigurationsMigrationProcessor", "Enabled": true, "SourceName": "Source", "TargetName": "Target" }, { "ProcessorType": "TfsTestPlansAndSuitesMigrationProcessor", "Enabled": true, "OnlyElementsWithTag": "", "TestPlanQuery": null, "RemoveAllLinks": false, "MigrationDelay": 0, "RemoveInvalidTestSuiteLinks": false, "FilterCompleted": false, "SourceName": "Source", "TargetName": "Target" }

If I execute it, it caused an issue with the error below.

Also, I tried following the documentation which you have provided on the website.

I tried using the below json structure

{ "ProcessorType": "TfsWorkItemMigrationProcessor", "Enabled": true, "UpdateCreatedDate": false, "UpdateCreatedBy": false, "WIQLQuery": "SELECT [System.Id] FROM WorkItems WHERE [System.TeamProject] = @TeamProject AND [System.WorkItemType] IN ('Test Case','Shared Steps','Shared Parameter') ORDER BY [System.ChangedDate] desc", "FixHtmlAttachmentLinks": true, "WorkItemCreateRetryLimit": 5, "FilterWorkItemsThatAlreadyExistInTarget": true, "GenerateMigrationComment": true, "SourceName": "Source", "TargetName": "Target" },

I got the error as

When i tried to add the Shared Steps variable in the project settings, I was not able to add. I get the below error.

_VS403066: The work item type name Shared Steps you specified is already in use. Choose a different name and try again.

Could you please check and let me know what caused this issue?
