The Final Builder Server (FBS) Import may be run any time after Continua has been set up and may be run multiple times.
Importing Projects
The FBS Import matches the incoming projects and configurations in Continua CI based on Project name and Configuration name respectively. If a conflict exists then the project or configuration is not added. However, if a child of the configuration still needs to be added then this will be added to the existing Configuration.
For example, if you try to import a FBS project called "myTestProject" into Continua CI which already has a configuration called "myTestProject", then the FBS Project properties will not be converted over. However, if a new FBS Variable is attached to "myTestProject", then that will be added to the existing Configuration in Continua CI.
Importing Variables
Project Variables from FBS will be added as Variables on the Configuration in Continua CI. If a variable already exists with the same name on the configuration then the variable is not added to Continua CI.
Importing Repositories
All source control repositories that are imported from FBS are added as global repositories within Continua CI. The import matches on the following fields to determine whether repositories are the same physical repository:
- Accurev - Depot, Stream and Accurev Server.
- Bazaar - Repository to Monitor.
- File system - The File Spec or Directory and Monitor Sub-Directories.
- Git - Remote Repository and Remote Branch.
- Mercurial - Remote Repository Connection String and Remote Branch to Monitor.
- Perforce - Server and Pattern.
- Subversion - Repository Path.
- Surround - Repository Path and Branch.
- Team Foundation Server - Team Foundation Server and Location Path.
- Vault - Repository, Path, Vault Server and Use SSL.
