    Team Foundation does not ship with a migration tool from Mercury to Team Foundation work item tracking. You can write a migration tool to do this using Team Foundation work item tracking Object Model (OM). The OM exposes APIs using which you can save work items in TFS. Your program would use the Mercury APIs to read data from Mercury and use TFS OM to write that data into TFS.

    We are in the process of writing a white paper and samples that will help customers like you write a converter. However it will take some time and I cannot commit a release date at this time. TFS ships with a migration tool, CQConverter, to migrate work items from ClearQuest to TFS work item tracking. CQConverter help documentation in MSDN may give you some pointers as you set out to write your own converter.

    Did you ever release the Mercury integration white paper Have more people successfully integrated with Mercury now How challenging is it to create the integration through custom code Do you know if TFS supports integration with a content management system like Vignette If so, could you direct me to some resources on this Thanks.
