Upgrade from RT2 to RT3

RT Users

hi,
i have a question regarding upgrade. currently i’m
running RT2.0.15 with mysql as the database. i just
installed on another server RT3.2.2 with oracle 9205.
i downloaded the migration tool
http://bestpractical.com/pub/rt/devel/rt2-to-rt3.tar.gz.
the README in that tarfile isn’t clear on whether the
migration method is strictly for mysql going tom rt2
to rt3. or the migration method will work between
mysql and oracle. has anyone try to migrate from rt2
using mysql to rt3 using oracle?
thanks
jim

I know it’s been done. I’m in the middle of triaging some rt2->rt3
issues for a customer that might actually affect imports.

This is the patch I’ve been testing out. It will fix possibly truncated
