Bamboo 3.4 : Moving Plans to a Different Project

A project is a collection of Plans. Projects enable you to easily group and identify plans which are logically related to each other. They are especially useful when generating reports across multiple Plans.

Moving a Plan to a different Project will therefore involve changing the Plan's Project Key (as well as possibly the Plan Name and/or Plan Key), which will also change the build key for all of the Plan's build results.

Moving a Plan does not affect the Plan's configuration, nor any comments or labels that have been applied to Job build results within the Plan.

Moving a Plan to a Different Project

Before you begin:

  • We recommended that you back up your Bamboo build results before you move a plan. See Exporting Data for Backup for instructions.

To move a plan to a different project:

  1. Click the 'Administration' link in the top navigation bar.
  2. Click the 'Move Plans' link in the left navigation column to display the initial 'Move Build Plan Wizard' page.
  3. Select an existing 'Destination Project' from the list in the dropdown box. You can create a new project to move your Plans to by selecting 'New Project' from this list. If you select this option, complete the following fields that appear:
    • Project Name — Enter a name for a new project or select an existing project. The plan which you create on this page will be associated with this project.
    • Project Key — Enter a unique key for this project or select an existing project key.
  4. Select the check box(es) for the Plan(s) you wish to move.
    (info) In the list of Plans on this page, Plans are grouped under the name of the project (in bold text) to which they belong (as shown in Screenshot 1 below). Selecting a project's check box automatically selects all Plans which belong to that project.
  5. Click the 'Move' button to display the 'Configure New Plan Details' page (as shown in Screenshot 2 below).
  6. If the destination project already includes a Plan with the same Plan Name, or if you wish to change the Plan Name, replace the existing content in the 'New Name' field.
  7. If the destination project already includes a Plan with the same Plan Key, or if you wish to change the Plan Key, replace the existing content in the 'New Key' field.
  8. Click the 'Move' button.

Notes

  • Moving a Plan will require Bamboo to re-index all its data, so your Bamboo system may run slowly for a few minutes.
