CVS database to Vault repository conversion tool

Post by Rachel Lavoie » Wed Sep 22, 2004 2:38 pm

We try to unify the tools we use in our compagny, and I'm in charge to make an application that will be able to convert a CVS database (the history is the most important thing to keep) to a Vault repository.

I wonder if somebody has already did that before and if I can use it or have any hint of what Vault API to use to do this (If I have to do it)?

(Did I post this in the right Forum? Should I post it in the support?)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Rachel,

Currently, I don't know of any CVS to Vault import tool. Writing your own tool would be a very tricky proposition, but we would be happy to help you along with it. First, I would recommend looking at http://weblogs.asp.net/jeremy_sheeley for examples of using the Vault API.

When you've got a basic introduction, email me and I'll provide some tips that might help your import.

Another possibility is for you to keep your history in CVS but put your development going forward into Vault. It's understandable if that is unappealing to you, but it could save you lots of time and effort.
