I installed the Stats package, and then the Tickets tab stopped working.
The new Tabs Element that Statistics imports tries to go to
Search/Listing.html, while the 3.2.1 Tabs Element goes to
Search/Build.html. If you go to Search/Build.html manually, the Tab
doesn’t expand like it should to show the Query options. I don’t have a
patch for it, but it should be trivial for someone to solve.

Thanks Bryan. I figured it was just a Nav change for 3.2 that had
confused it. I actually solved it myself with a different easy fix
after I sent the email. I just changed Search/Listing.html to
Search/Build.html in the new Tabs file and it worked fine.

This way you won’t have to clobber the file:
/path to rt3/local/html/Elements/Tabs
This will use the Callback method to add Statistics item to the menu. Don’t
have to worry about changes to the original Tabs file anymore.

Thanks for the fix, I’ve been meaning to look at this one for a long time, but haven’t had a chance. This WILL be in the next stats release, don’t know when that will be, as Rik is working on a few things, but…

We have been happily running an instance of RT2 (and rt1 before that) here
at Global Crossing for several years and, this morning, we had a
catastrophic event happen… every admin’s worst nightmare. After having
one of two mirrored drives fail, I got right on my new machine to upgrade
to rt3 instead of replacing the drive (we’re a poor company nowadays).
Well, this am, after a power hit which took out our ac, the temperatures
rose in our data center (110 degrees +) and my last drive failed. Now, I
have nothing but a backup of the rt2 database from /usr/local/mysql.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I need to get my old data from
there (and /opt, which was backed up, too), but I’m not sure if anyone has
a nice script that can just magically import my old stuff from that into
mysql again, but in rt3 format.
Anyone?

How did you do your backup? If you used the mysql HotCopy, you’re in
luck. Both because the restore is easy, and I happened to do it last
week. With hotcopy, it makes exact copies of the databases, so all you
have to do is take mysql down, copy the “rt3” directory from your
hotcopy (or whatever your database name was) to wherever your mysql data
directory is (like /var/lib/mysql/rt3), and bring mysql back up…

OK, well, there should be many files in the directory that has the same
name as the database. You’re going to have to start by copying those
onto a shutdown, but working mysql machine (obviously make sure you have
a copy of the copy!). I’d probably just try bringing it up first to see
if it automatically replays whatever transaction logs exist, but you can
also check the mysql manual, I think there’s probably a way to tell it
to do that explicitly.
What state do you think the database was in at the time of this copy?
Was mysql running? Were transactions (especially write) likely to be
running on the database? If you were in the middle of your upgrade from
RT2 to RT3, had you done the database step yet?
Also, for the future, you’ll REALLY want to check out the hotcopy
script. It’s nice, easy, and fast…

BestPractical provides a conversion script, but You need a running rt2
instance to export the data.
I don’t think there is a better solution available.

That doesn’t work, because the application would probably need a lot of
“intelligence”. “Intelligence” that is normally sitting in RT itself.
So I doubt someone has made the effort and dublicated the functionality
of RT in a script.
RT is complex enough that you can’t simply modify the database directly
anymore (if you don’t know what you’re doing - and if you have to ask,
you probably really don’t…), you have to go through the API.
Good Luck.

Bueller?
There is no shortcut. In fact, you have to install and configure RT2
in order to run the rt2 export script. So just fetch RT2, point it at
your database and start running the converter.
If there was a shortcut, I’m sure the rt2-rt3 migration scripts would
vanish quickly and be replaced by the faster way.

I believe that they’re looking for a shortcut to surfing around, not a
shortcut for the conversion.

This is an awesome tip from Kelly. We were using Mysqldump every 6 hours
for backups, which is not exactly the quickest way to do it but it
worked. Tried mysqlhotcopy today and it was sub second ( ok we only have
5000 tickets so far) to complete the backup.
I’m a convert - thanks Kelly

[Kelly F. Hickel] That’s a good question, the databases that I’m backing
up currently aren’t for RT, and off the top of my head, I don’t know if
they’re innodb or not. Something I’ll have to look into, but it won’t
be in the next week or to, so if someone else fells like figuring it
