UserMapping Issues

[TanimaSrivastava]

In TfsUserMapping tool class file , there is a method GetUsersListFromServer , it fails with following error,

Instance validation error: '5' is not a valid value for Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.ApplicationGroupSpecialType.

Any idea why this is happening

Hi there,

ACTION REQUIRED

In order for us to help you will need to provide both the log, and the configration file that you are using.

Generate and Attach Log

Steps:

1. In the Config file, change LogLevel to Debug.
2. Identify a work item ID that exhibits this issue and create a query that only selects this work item.
3. Delete any existing copy of that work item from the target.
4. Run the migration.
5. Comment here with the full Log attached as well as the full (redacted) configration file that you are using.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Azure DevOps Migration Tools team

Hi ,

I can't share the entire logging. But here is the context:

In my config .json , OnlyListUsersInWorkItems is set to true ,and I am trying to use TfsExportUsersForMappingProcessor with TfsUserMapping Tool to export the users that are tagged to the workItems that are passed in the WIQL Query in TfsWorkItemMigratorProcessor.

It invokes the TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersInSourceMappedToTargetForWorkItems method and generates following lines in the log file:

TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersInSourceMappedToTargetForWorkItems [workItemUsers|5]
[14:27:52 DBG] [16.0.9] TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersInSourceMappedToTarget
[14:27:52 INF] [16.0.9] TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersInSourceMappedToTarget Loading identities from source server
OnlyListUsersInWorkItems is true, only users in work items will be listed

and then invokes :

TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersListFromServer Found identities (users and groups) in server.

and tries to load the users and generates the following warning/error:

TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersListFromServer::[user:] Attempting to load user
[14:27:54 DBG] [16.0.9] TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersListFromServer::[user:] Not applicable identity type "ApplicationGroup"

My Question:

1)Though the OnlyListUsersInWorkItems is set to true , why it proceeded with the entire users count and identified the Total # of users and groups and tried to load all of them.
2)I used TfsExportUser processor with TfsUserMapping tool to export users , but it returned the blank file.

{
"processor": "TfsExportUsersForMappingProcessor",
"Enabled": t,rue
"WIQLQuery": ,
"OnlyListUsersInWorkItems": true,
"SourceName": ",
"TargetName": ""

}

Though the OnlyListUsersInWorkItems is set to true , why it proceeded with the entire users count and identified the Total # of users and groups and tried to load all of them.

"GetUsersListFromServer" needs to return all the users as we have to pattern match the data in the work item fields (which is a string) to find the identity.

The message [14:27:54 DBG] [16.0.9] TfsUserMappingTool::GetUsersListFromServer::[user:] Not applicable identity type "ApplicationGroup" is a debug item and does not represent a failure. We cant tell until we load the user if its a real user or something else.

Warnings and Errors star with [14:27:54 WRN] or [14:27:54 ERR]

I used TfsExportUser processor with TfsUserMapping tool to export users , but it returned the blank file.

if there are not users to map it will not add anything to the file.
