Starteam migration to Subversion
At work we have been using Borland's Starteam for a while for our SCMS (Source Code Management System). I don't know it is good or bad, as we have simple team, but when I asked for additionnal licences, I found out that their prices are very high: 1 Named user: 750$, 1 Concurrent user: 3900 (discounted by 50% at the moment I asked for a quote). And add to that 22% yearly maintenance cost. As we already started using Subversion for other projects, we decided to move from Starteam to Subversion for all of our projects, but our concern was of course how to import all the project versions from Starteam to Subversion. Thanks to a nice company named Polarion, it is possible with their svnimporter tool http://www.polarion.com/downloads/svn.php . This tool is available to migrate from other SCMS to Subversion with support for CVS, PVCS, VSS, ClearCase, MKS and Starteam. It took me some time to figure out how to run the tool (which is java-based). At first I just used the tool
