For Dragnet setup, see Dragnet Help or Online help at: http://download.sourcegear.com/misc/dra ... efault.htm

2. Import your SOS Collab bugs into Dragnet

The Collab import tool will import your SOS Collab bugs and discussions into Dragnet.

To use the Collab import tool, create a SourceGear\Collab Import Tool directory and extract the Import Tool files. Double-click CollabImport.exe and follow the prompts to import your SOS Collab bugs and discussion items into Dragnet. Please note that Dragnet does not support threaded discussions. SOS Collab discussions will be imported in the same format as bugs.


Integrate Vault with Dragnet:

-- in Vault, configure Bug Tracking in the Admin Tool->Repository Options tab. Select a repository, choose Dragnet from the Bug Tracking Application dropdown. Enter the Bug Tracking Integration URL and click "Apply." For example:

http://<dragnetserver>/dragnet

-- in Dragnet, login as Admin and choose Setup. Under SourceCode Control, choose Vault from the dropdown. Enter the SourceCodeControl Server URL. For example:

http://<vaultserver>/VaultService

Select "Submit" to save your changes.

Note: Dragnet and Vault can be installed on the same machine and can use the same MS SQL Server installation.
