Redmine

h1. Migrating from other systems

{{>TOC}}

h2. Trac

The Trac importer migrates:

    * Users

    * Components

    * Milestones

    * Tickets

    * Ticket comments and changes (status and resolution)

    * Ticket files and custom fields

    * Wiki pages with history

Notes:

# User passwords are all set to ‘trac’

# Ticket ids are preserved

# Custom fields are all created as ‘text’ custom fields in Redmine

You need the sqlite-ruby gem (gem install sqlite-ruby) to access the Trac database.

The script was tested with a 0.10 Trac database and should work with 0.11 databases. It only supports SQLite Trac databases for now.

1. Run the following command, where test is your Redmine target environment:

rake redmine:migrate_from_trac RAILS_ENV="test"

2. The script asks you for your Trac settings:

<pre>

Trac directory []: /var/trac/myproject

Database encoding [UTF-8]:

Target project identifier []: myproject

</pre>

Trac directory is the root directory of your Trac environment. Redmine will look in this directory for db/trac.db and attachments directory.

Target project identifier is the identifier of the Redmine project in which the data will be loaded (the project is created if not found).

4. The script migrates your data:

<pre>

Deleting data

Migrating components..............................

Migrating milestones..............

Migrating custom fields.......

Migrating tickets.................................

Migrating wiki...........

Components: 29/30

Milestones: 14/14

Tickets: 1275/1275

Ticket files: 106/106

Custom values: 4409/4409

Wiki edits: 102/102

</pre>

The script gives you the total number of migrated objects.

Now, you should see a project called Myproject in Redmine with your Trac data loaded in this project.

h2. Mantis

The Mantis importer migrates:

    * Users

    * Projects

    * Project versions, categories and news

    * Project memberships

    * Bugs

    * Bug notes, files, relations and monitors

    * Custom fields

User passwords are all set to "mantis".

Bug files migration only works if they’re stored in your Mantis database (this is the default Mantis behaviour).

The script was tested with different 1.0.x Mantis databases and should work with any other recent versions.

1. Run the following command, where test is your Redmine target environment:

  rake migrate_from_mantis RAILS_ENV="test"

2. The script asks you for your Mantis database settings:

<pre>

Please enter settings for your Mantis database

adapter [mysql]:

host [localhost]:

database [bugtracker]: mantis

username [root]:

password []:

encoding [UTF-8]:

</pre>

Give the adapter, host name, database name, login, password and encoding of your Mantis database, or leave the default values.

The adapter can be mysql (default) or postgresql.
