Rt2 to rt3 1.17

Is now available. The big change from 1.16 is that it now converts
messages and attachments which had been stored in RT2’s database into
UTF8 (Unicode) when moving to RT3. I’d be curious to know how folks who
were having trouble with 1.16 do with this version.

Jesse,

Is the conversion done on export or import?

Thanks,
Christian

Import. Dumps from the 1.16 exporter should be compatible with the 1.17
importer.

Thanks,

Hello, Jesse and other.
This solve only content problem, but subject of attach have to be
converted too.
Ruslan.
PS: Some other additions to re’s don’t break it. I want to speed up it,
but then do benchmarks with perl 5.8.0 and understand that it’s not issue.
PSS: Unicode translation realy slow down importing, but it’s better then
absense of content in browser :slight_smile:

Sorry for this patch. I don’t exactly understand but it’s breaking
convertion at all.
I don’t understand why $data=decode($enc, $data) isn’t same as
from_to($data,$enc,‘utf8’).
But decoding of attachment subject is still needed.
Best regards, Ruslan.
