Relevant log output

MigrationTools.Tools.TfsNodeStructureTool[0]
The node \Project B\Area\ABC is being excluded due to your Filters setting on TfsNodeStructureToolOptions.

MigrationTools.Tools.TfsNodeStructureTool[0]
The node \Project B\Iteration\XYZ is being excluded due to your Filters setting on TfsNodeStructureToolOptions.

etc. for all iterations/areas from the source project.

What happened?

I am trying to apply a filter on iteration and area paths for migration. I have tried filter combinations as described in the documentation, but none of them seem to work. My filter is never applied.

For testing, I used a wildcard filter "*", expecting it to include all nodes and migrate them accordingly. However, even with the asterisk filter, all nodes are excluded and none get migrated. The mapping works fine though.

A null or empty list for filter is everything.

Otherwise its a glob pattern.

The below example on the documentation page doesn’t work for me either. Any filter results in all areas being excluded, including the ‘ProjectName\Team 2’ area path that I have in my source project.

"Areas": { "Filters": ["*\\Team 2"] }

[MrHinsh]

I think that should be:

"Areas": { "Filters": ["Team 2"] }

There is no project name in the area path field in the field.
