Hi,
We have a handful of RT installations on campus, and we’d like to
merge them together, and we’d like to retain ticket history. That
means that we need a way to import tickets from one system to another,
keeping in mind that there may be duplicate ticket numbers involved.
We’re OK with ticket numbers changing - that’s unfortunate, but
unavoidable.
Is there any tool that allows us to import all the tickets (and
comments, attachments, queues, groups, users, etc) from one RT system
to another?

There isn’t currently a released tool for this.
We’ve been working on something and testing it out with a few clients
and expect that it will ship with 4.2.
If you need this prior to the public release, I can point you at the
right people to figure it out.

What’s the planned release date for 4.2? I think I can hold off
importing the old data for a few months, but probably not more than 3
months.

We have a similar situation where we want to import our open tickets from
the current 3.8.2 sytem to the new 4.0.8 installation. Is there a script
that can help do that?On Tue, Nov 27, 2012 at 1:19 PM, Tim Gustafson tjg@soe.ucsc.edu wrote:

Unfortunately, we can’t commit to release dates. We’re currently hard
at work on a lot of feature branches that will be part of 4.2. We’ll
be making 4.1 development releases, so it may be worth monitoring
rt-devel for those releases.

That sounds like you want a simple upgrade.
Have you reviewed the upgrading process documentation?
It’s covered in the README and UPGRADING-4.0 available from here
http://bestpractical.com/rt/docs/latest/
and written about here

Actually, there are 2 seperate installations of RT 3.8.2 and 4.0.8 on
centosos and ubuntu respectively. We need to import open tickets from 3.8.2
and export them into 4.0.8. Are there any scripts in the upgrade that can
be pulled to do this?On Tue, Nov 27, 2012 at 9:40 PM, Kevin Falcone falcone@bestpractical.comwrote:

Nope. Please see my earlier reply to Tim Gustafson.
