18.6 Considerations for Migrating and Converting Data to the Integration

You can also use the integration with data from an existing Web. You may need to do so to migrate data from an existing VOB, or to convert data under source control from another source control vendor.

• Migration

The integration expects Webs under source control to be rooted in a subdirectory of the Web content VOB root. If you are relocating Webs from existing VOBs using cleartool relocate into the Web content VOB, relocate them to a VOB root subdirectory.

• Conversion

The Web at \source\qe_group\Webs\qe_Web is currently in Visual SourceSafe. To convert it to ClearCase, run clearexport_ssafe on the VSS library where these files reside. Then use clearimport, specifying \wwwroot\qe_Web as the target VOB directory (assuming that the default Web content VOB-tag is \wwwroot).

In either scenario, it is necessary to run a script (ccase-home-dir\etc\iisfix.bat) to install the FPSE and register the IIS alias and Source Control operations necessary to make such Webs visible and under source control in FrontPage and InterDev. After this has been done, the source control icons appear when the Web is opened in FrontPage and Visual InterDev.

NOTE: Use of VOB symbolic links in integration Webs is not supported.
