As you can see, I got errors importing the groups and then after it imported
30 tickets. I am able to log into the web interface and see these 30
tickets as well as all of my groups. I have been searching the mailing list
archives for the error seen during the ticket import but haven’t found an
answer to the error.

Can anybody shed some light on this for me, it would be appreciated. If I
have left out any pertinent information, please let me know and I apologize
in advance.

Thanks,
Dave

I had problems with the import due to a too new version of
DBIx::SearchBuilder, I believe. I ran the dump out of RT2 with the
version specified for RT2 (0.48 I believe) and then I upgraded to the
version required for RT3 (I used RT 3.2.3 so not sure what version it
was off hand) and then ran the dump into RT3 without any problems. Might
want to check that out, along with any other tips that come along.

Thanks Tom, that wasn’t really my answer, but you pushed me in the right
direction. Chalk this one up to the DUH factor. I was using an older
version of the conversion script (1.11). I downloaded 1.21 and it works
beautifully.

Thanks again.

Ah. Well, glad I helped anyway. The latest is1.23, I believe, but if
1.21 works for you, then great.
