Migrate assets from RM server to Team Foundation Server and Team Services

NOTICE - We have deprecated this tool. It will continue to serve as an open source sample solution.

What

As Bob,the Release Manager, I would like to migrate my assets from 2015 or 2013 U4 RM server to Visual Studio Team Foundation Server or Team Services, and start using the Release hub in Team Web Access.

What about TFS?

The release of Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2, or higher, includes the new Release Management (RM) features. This solution targets Visual Studio Team Services and Team Foundation Server 2015 Update 2, or higher.

Why

Customers have so far been interacting with RM Server using the WPF client, configuring the release templates and managing their pipelines using the XAML based workflow system. The new release management capabilities, that are available with VS Team Services and are going to be a part of TFS in a future version of TFS, are based on a light-weight workflow system.

The agent-based release templates authored using the WPF client used a set of fine-grained tasks that were available with the RM Server. The new workflow system does not provide all those tasks out of the box, making it harder to upgrade the templates to the new capabilities.

However, since both of them leverage Powershell heavily, it is possible to partially migrate the data from one to the other. This project aims to provide the guidance and tooling to help you with this migration.
