Parameters

Argument	Description
Configuration XML file	The XML file that specifies the CQConverter configuration parameters. For more information, see How to: Generate the Converter Configuration File.
Schema Map XML file	Migration schema mapping XML file. For more information, see How to: Edit the Schema Map File.

Option	Description
/c[ommand]:Migrate	Migrate ClearQuest database.
/m[igrationsettings]:	Specifies the configuration XML file that is used for migrating the ClearQuest database. For example, cqconverterconfig.xml.
/s[chema]:	Specifies the migration schema mapping XML file.

Remarks

The CQConverter migration parameters are specified in the configuration XML file. Specify this file at the command line using the command-line option /m: or /migrationsettings: as the expanded form. For example: /m:cqconverterconfig.xml.

Note

When CQConverter connects to ClearQuest the converter prompts you for a password. The converter connects to Team Foundation using the log on credentials.
