Issues in Test Plan and Test Suites Migration from Azure DevOps Services (Cloud) to Azure DevOps Server 2022.2

[SohaibRashid808]

I am trying to migrate test cases, test plans and test suites from Azure DevOps Services (Cloud) to Azure DevOps Server 2022.2. Note that the Azure DevOps Server 2022.2 was previously upgraded from Team Foundation Server 2015. Both are also on different domains. The Project in the cloud is based on a custom, inherited process, HBL-Agile, from the built-in Agile Process. It has a few custom work items like Epic_CR, Release Notes etc. Also it has custom States as well for different work items. I have created the same HBL-Agile process with the same custom work items and states in the Azure DevOps Server as well. I am pasting below the configuration json file I am executing and the error it is throwing up. The main error is of "Target Reflected Work Item Not found for source WorkItem ID: 44"

Can someone help me out in fixing the json so that I am able to migrate Test Plan and Test Suites? Is there validator tool for processor type TfsTestPlansAndSuitesMigrationProcessorOptions, how to use it?

Problems I see in your config

1. You must migrate Test Cases before you migrate plans and suites.
2. TestPlanQueryBit is invlaid see docs

Have you followed the How To for Plans & Suits?
