Missing Area or Iteration Paths

[Chandu001729]

Hello All,

I am facing the below error while migrating the work items from one project to another project, i have defined everything in the config and cross verified in the source and Destination side and all the configurations have the Area maps updated. All Area paths set for teams exist in both sides.

The error suggests something need to be mapped apart from what i have mentioned, need your help.

@MrHinsh need your inputs on the issue

Config:

"TfsNodeStructureTool": {
   "Enabled": true,
   "Areas": {
     "Filters": [],
     "Mappings": {
       "^PortfolioPM([\\\\]?.*)$": "PPM-Migration\\ART 03\\Audit Workflow\\Integrations\\Integrations With PortfolioPM\\"
     }
   },
   "Iterations": {
     "Filters": [],
     "Mappings": {
       "^PortfolioPM([\\\\]?.*)$": "PPM-Migration\\Levvia Train 03"
     }
   },
   "ShouldCreateMissingRevisionPaths": "false",
   "ReplicateAllExistingNodes": "false"
 },

Error:

[05:26:40 WRN] [16.1.0-Preview.7] NOTE: It is NOT possible to migrate a work item if the Area or Iteration path does not exist on the target project. This is because the work item will be created with the same Area and Iteration path as the source work item with the project name swapped. The work item will not be created if the path does not exist. The only way to resolve this is to follow the instructions:

Looks like you still have some non mapped items.

Just before "There are MISSING Area or Iteration Paths" in the log will be a list.

[Chandu001729]

@MrHinsh this is my log file, not sure what are missing as per the log or anything missing in the config file as above .

[MrHinsh]

It looks like whatever they are mapped to does not exist. If you turn on verbose you will see the full "missingItem" data.

[Chandu001729]

@MrHinsh I have turned on the verbose and here is the log file, it still show same issue. Not sure what all need to updated in the config file.

@MrHinsh any other way that i need to try to fix this issue.

[MrHinsh]

You have ShouldCreateMissingRevisionPaths turned off, so you will need to create any Area or Iterations that you are mapping to manually if they do not exist.
