Migrate ONE project to another Redmine server

Added by Alexis GUNST over 13 years ago

Hello to everybody,

I've a big problem.

  • I have an existant Redmine Installation which is working (Debian/Mysql)
  • I have a project hosted on an external Redmine server
  • I want to move this hosted project to my Redmine server.

How to proceed ?
I have a root access to the hosted redmine if needed.

I want to export only ONE project, not all.
Is it possible ?

Thanks a lot for your answer !

Hello,

I just wrote a PHP script to do exactly that. You may find there: https://github.com/PowerKiKi/redmine-tools
Be sure to test it out before using on production database. You'll find basic instructions in migrator.php

I think that this tool might interest you : https://github.com/dctremblay/Project-Rescue

With that tool, you can migrate individual project from Redmine 2.x / 3.2 from an instance to another with all their dependencies (issues, users, parent projects, children projects, news, documents, attachments, custom fields etc..)

It is a script made in Python3 so make sure that it is already installed.

Looks just like the tool I want, however I need to migrate from MySQL -> MSSQL and are not skilled enough to modify the orm.py file to make that connection work. Hopefully it will be added in the near future.

Current Redmine could filter the issues and send them to the REST API of the external server

  1. Create a proper rake task: /usr/share/redmine/lib/tasks/migrate_to_redmine.rake
    namespace :redmine do
      desc 'Migrate to another Redmine'
      task :migrate_to_redmine => :environment do
    
        query = IssueQuery.new(:project => Project.find(123), :name => 'CurrentProject')
        query.add_filter('status_id', '*', [''])
        query.add_filter('parent_id', '!*', [''])
    #    query.add_filter("issue_id", '><', ['32500', '42100'])
        issues = Issue.joins(:status, :tracker, :project, :priority).where(query.statement).to_a
    
        issues.sort.each do |issue|
          migrate_issue issue.id, nil
        end
    
      end
    
      def migrate_issue id, parent_id
        issue = Issue.find(id)
    
        created = {POST issue to the REST API of the external server}
    
        if created
          for child in issue.children
            migrate_issue child.id, created.id
          end
        end
      end
    
    end
    
  2. cd /usr/share/redmine/
  3. rake redmine:migrate_to_redmine
