What is the possible implementation or advantage of doing such a thing? I am thinking when you said SVN, you are talking about Apache SubVersioning?

As per my understanding the basic use of SVN like its previous predecessor CVS is used to store data/content/Information and create versions of it.

Well if you are into Interwoven and Implementing TeamSite, Your CMS system does a much better versioning job than its competitors.

So the question is what is the Requirements and what were you trying achive in doing this?

Thanks

Hi,
If you want the versions of your teamsite files then you do have the facility there in your Teamsite(CMS) only.
I hope you are more concerned about the external sources(Read Java/.net files) and if so then the answer to your question is simply yes you can integrate SVN and CMS.
If I am not wrong then I hope by the term migration you mean integration.
You can manage the external/internal source by integrating the CMS and the SVN.

HTH.

Yes and no. Depends on how much money you/your company budgeted for this.

I'm going to assume you meant something like this:
Many customers implement a "Code" branch within the content store to centralize and version all customizations, and use a custom piece of code to copy them to appropriate places on the file system. This also makes it easier to move code from dev to test to prod. I'm thinking you meant you have this, and you want your "Code branch" to be in SVN now instead of TeamSite's content store.

Yes, it's quite easy to port it over if you already have it set up this way. You'll just have to write a new piece to copy the code to a target TeamSite server, this time probably across the network. No, there is no tool that will do this for you. What you can do is install an SVN client on your TeamSite machine, and do an "svn import" from the Y drive (or /iwmnt) to SVN as the initial content import. From there on, the code deployment process is up to you.

This is good, but again, I do not see an purpose here to do such a thing unless there are some intermediate external coders who wants to review the code (They shouldn't make changes, else you will have mismatch to the version what you have on Teamsite) and these coders do not have access to Teamsite.

i do not know the exact requirement, the person who have posted this never replied.

Thanks

Hi guys,

Thank you for your kindful reply. Our TeamSite will be sunset next month, so now we're planning to migrate all the external/internal resource to SVN, such as java code, workflow configuration...

so I'm wondering how to migrate and is it possible to keep versions after the migration?

You can follow Rick's Suggestion if that all you wanted. So you guys are moving away from TeamSite?

Thanks

So, if I get this right, you are asking how best to work yourself out of your (interwoven) job? If you had asked our help soon enough, or hired an expert, perhaps we could have saved your company from losing on this investment.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Yeah, we are moving away from TeamSite.
Now I'm considering using iwrlog and iwcat command to migrate. My plan like this.

1. Use shell script to list all the files to migrate.
2. Use iwrlog to get all the versions for each file.
4. User iwcat generate the content for each version and commit to SVN.

But I'm wondering what are used to store the versions? Is it a database or just some directories. If it is a database, migration of that database is much more easier.

It's not DB. TS stores File versions in Editions, both anonymous(numbered) and named

Thank you for all of you. Now I know how to do that.
