How do URLs in CollabNet TeamForge 17.11 compare with URLs in CollabNet Enterprise Edition?

The URLs in CollabNet TeamForge 17.11 and CollabNet Enterprise Edition are not exactly the same, but they can be made to work together.

Any bookmarks you have saved in CollabNet Enterprise Edition projects can now be accessed from within CollabNet TeamForge 17.11.

CollabNet Enterprise Edition URLs that specify item identifiers, such as artifact ID, document ID or discussion post ID, are specified are routed to the exact item page in CollabNet TeamForge 17.11. However, CollabNet Enterprise Edition URLs that do not have exact item identifiers may be routed to the tool's main page or project home page. As an example, link to CollabNet Enterprise Edition's specific post ID is redirected to the exact post ID page whereas, the link to a discussion forum may be re-directed to the Discussions>Forum Summary page.

Note: If any of your bookmarked CollabNet Enterprise Edition URLs are not routed to the CollabNet TeamForge 17.11 URLs, contact your system administrator.

Only the URLs listed here will work the same way in TeamForge 17.11 as in CollabNet Enterprise Edition. You may need to change some other URLs manually and communicate the changes to your site members. For example, there may be a form submission to enter Project Tracker artifacts which may look like: /servlets/tracking/action/CreateArtifact?type=defect. The equivalent URL in TeamForge 17.11 would be: /tracker/tracking/linkid/prpl1042/action/CreateArtifact?type=defect . You should get the corresponding URLs from the CollabNet TeamForge site and update your HTML or project pages accordingly.

Note: If you are making the transition via a staging site, do this in production, after the upgrade is complete, because changes you make on the stage site are not preserved.
