We are looking for any proven migration path for moving a Subversion repository to a Team Foundation Server. Seems that there has been a discontinued product named CS-Converter(ComponentSoftware homepage) but can't find anybody having used it. Is CS-Converter a solid product, are there any other resources I haven't found or does anybod...
Hello, I'm thinking of migrating my sites from coldfusion MX to Coldfusion 7. Are there any issues I should be aware of. I heard that coldfusion is backwards compatible. Thank you all. ...
I'm terrible at naming and realize that there are a better set of names for my models in my Rails app. Is there a way to use a migration to rename a model and its table? ...
My organization has a lot of legacy ASP software on its hands. Since our perception is that Microsoft has shown a distinct lack of support for its older products, we need to figure out what to migrate to next. If we migrate to ASP.NET from Classic ASP, It feels like that'd be a 'complete rewrite' "migration". Since that is probably th...
a couple of days ago I had this idea, why not implementing asp-classic as another language in .net... it would have helped lots of people to migrate to the new platform... I mean there's IronRuby, IronPython, etc... It sounded to me like a great idea... but, come on, I'm no genius, there must be some reason why they haven't done so......
We have an old project that requires occasional maintenance that uses VS2003 and Dot Net 1.1. It is on a machine that has become a 'dedicated' machine since no one wants to mess with it. We need to use the machine for other purposes - so I am trying to get it moved to another computer with the least amount of trouble as possible. I h...
We are moving from ClearCase to TFS2008. I easily found the MS migration tool but it seems to be targeted to TFS 2005. Any suggestions on other tools that could accomplish this? ...
I have had a local Source Depot repository for version control since my days at Microsoft. Lately, I've been wanting to migrate to SVN and take the change history with me but there seems to be no script to migrate to SVN. Since there are quite a few Microsofties who hang out here, I thought I'd try here. I am basically looking for an ea...
I have a C# application which works with an Oracle database and has been already shipped. Now it's time to ship out a new release. The C# object model have been revised and had an impact on the table structure. If I ship out the new release, I need to take care of existing data. Just dropping tables and recreate these tables wouldn’t ma...
I've been looking at the options for getting our database schemas under version control. It seems that Ruby folks have got Rails Migrations, and .NET folks have got a few options (for instance this, this, and this). What about Perl? I've seen this thread on PerlMonks which doesn't have much, although it mentions DBIX::Migration::Direc...
what is boost jam and is it jam worth migrating to? I understand that jam is build system built by perforce however I am not sure how the boost jam & regular jam is different. I'm also hoping there could be someone in the SO community who has worked with it and maybe can highlight some differences and/or benefits. ...
We have an application (well, 3) which uses Oracle 9i, however this is being end-of-life-ed shortly, and we need to move to another platform - Oracle 11 or Postgress being the obvious ones. I've heard comments to the effect that porting from 9i to 11 isn't straight forward, but no-one here can confirm one way or the other. I'm not over...
I'm trying to create a migration for a simple table that is just used as an enum. So I want to populate the table immediately with its values. I tried the following: class CreateUserTypes < ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :user_types do |t| t.column :type, :string t.timestamps end end def self....
When you run: rake db:migrate the only files that are being processed are those in db/migrate/ right? Well since relationships such as one-to-one, one-to-many and many-to-many are defined in the in app/models/ , how does Rails enforce such relationships? After I do my migration and look at the generated database schema, I can't see a...
I'm migrating an old portlet application from WPS5 to WPS6. The application is using IBM legacy container. According to the migration guide, I only renew some portal library and some tag reference. The application is still using IBM legacy container and the modified Struts Portlet. When I create a link like by: <html:link page="/page1....
Someone suggest me to use a wamp for the intranet but the database is already setup with a mssql. I want to know if it's a great move to use mysql instead of mssql cause I have to migrate all data from mssql to mysql. Plus, I want to know some crappy problem that I can face during the migration. Thanks! ...
I migrated an SVN server today and ran into an issue. I have a repo that has an svn:externals property on a trunk subfolder. This folder has been branched a bunch of times and now this svn:externals reference needs updated on every single branch to refer to the new server. Is there an easy way to update all of these properties? I'm not...
We are considering moving from ClearCase to Subversion. The project has been there for a while (7 years) and there are three "major" versions (branches) that we actively support, plus some occasional fixes in older releases. The project is fairly large - around 2 mln lines of java code. I am curious if there is someone that has done sim...
I'm working on an AIR application that uses a local SQLite database and was wondering how I could manage database schema updates when I distribute new versions of the application. Also considering updates that skip some versions. E.g. instead of going from 1.0 to 1.1, going from 1.0 to 1.5. What technique would you recommend? ...
I need to migrate extremely large quantities of data (millions of files, Terabytes of data) to an SQL cluster. The migration process is partitioned into weekly migrations, with a few hundreds of new users (i.e request-generators) every week. So far things have run pretty smoothly, but lately i've discovered that the SQL cluster started ...
