Import tasks in one direction

To perform a one-way import of tasks from CollabNet TeamForge to Microsoft Project, use a blank Microsoft Project file to synchronize.

Note: You must have the task administration permission for the CollabNet TeamForge project with which you want to synchronize your Microsoft Project plan.
  1. Open a blank Microsoft Project file.
  2. In Microsoft Project, select File > CollabNet TeamForge > Synchronize with CollabNet TeamForge .
  3. If you have not logged in to your CollabNet TeamForge site, the Log In window appears. Supply your credentials and server name and do so now.
  4. If your project plan does not have the journal file required for synchronization, the Setup for Synchronization window appears. Answer Yes for the journal file to be created.
  5. In the Selection Dialog, select the task folder whose tasks you want to import, and click Next.
