     1= Importing ticket data = 
     2 
     3== Bugzilla == 
     4 
     5Ticket data can be imported from Bugzilla using the [http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/bugzilla2trac.py bugzilla2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution. 
     6 
     7{{{ 
     8$ bugzilla2trac.py 
     9bugzilla2trac - Imports a bug database from Bugzilla into Trac. 
     10 
     11Usage: bugzilla2trac.py [options] 
     12 
     13Available Options: 
     14  --db <MySQL dbname>              - Bugzilla's database 
     15  --tracenv /path/to/trac/env      - full path to Trac db environment 
     16  -h | --host <MySQL hostname>     - Bugzilla's DNS host name 
     17  -u | --user <MySQL username>     - effective Bugzilla's database user 
     18  -p | --passwd <MySQL password>   - Bugzilla's user password 
     19  -c | --clean                     - remove current Trac tickets before importing 
     20  --help | help                    - this help info 
     21 
     22Additional configuration options can be defined directly in the script. 
     23}}} 
     24 
     25Currently, the following data is imported from Bugzilla: 
     26 
     27  * bugs 
     28  * bug activity (field changes) 
     29  * bug attachments 
     30  * user names and passwords (put into a htpasswd file) 
     31 
     32The script provides a number of features to ease the conversion, such as: 
     33 
     34  * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS:  Trac doesn't have the concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead. 
     35 
     36  * IGNORE_COMMENTS:  Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp. 
     37 
     38  * STATUS_KEYWORDS:  Attach ticket keywords for the Bugzilla statuses not available in Trac.  By default, the 'VERIFIED' and 'RELEASED' Bugzilla statuses are translated into Trac keywords. 
     39 
     40For more details on the available options, see the configuration section at the top of the script. 
     41 
     42== Sourceforge == 
     43 
     44Ticket data can be imported from Sourceforge using the [http://trac.edgewall.org/browser/trunk/contrib/sourceforge2trac.py sourceforge2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution. 
     45 
     46See #Trac3521 for an updated sourceforge2trac script. 
     47 
     48== Mantis == 
     49 
     50The mantis2trac script now lives at http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MantisImportScript. You can always get the latest version from http://trac-hacks.org/changeset/latest/mantisimportscript?old_path=/&filename=mantisimportscript&format=zip 
     51 
     52Mantis bugs can be imported using the attached script. 
     53 
     54Currently, the following data is imported from Mantis: 
     55  * bugs 
     56  * bug comments 
     57  * bug activity (field changes) 
     58  * attachments (as long as the files live in the mantis db, not on the filesystem)  
     59 
     60If you use the script, please read the NOTES section (at the top of the file) and make sure you adjust the config parameters for your environment. 
     61 
     62mantis2trac.py has the same parameters as the bugzilla2trac.py script: 
     63{{{ 
     64mantis2trac - Imports a bug database from Mantis into Trac. 
     65 
     66Usage: mantis2trac.py [options]  
     67 
     68Available Options: 
     69  --db <MySQL dbname>              - Mantis database 
     70  --tracenv /path/to/trac/env      - Full path to Trac db environment 
     71  -h | --host <MySQL hostname>     - Mantis DNS host name 
     72  -u | --user <MySQL username>     - Effective Mantis database user 
     73  -p | --passwd <MySQL password>   - Mantis database user password 
     74  -c | --clean                     - Remove current Trac tickets before importing 
     75  --help | help                    - This help info 
     76 
     77Additional configuration options can be defined directly in the script. 
     78}}}  
     79 
     80== Jira == 
     81 
     82The [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/JiraToTracIntegration Jira2Trac plugin] provides you with tools to import Atlassian Jira backup files into Trac. 
     83 
     84The plugin consists of a Python 3.1 commandline tool that: 
     85 
     86 - Parses the Jira backup XML file 
     87 - Sends the imported Jira data and attachments to Trac using the [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin XmlRpcPlugin] 
     88 - Generates a htpasswd file containing the imported Jira users and their SHA-512 base64 encoded passwords 
     89 
     90== Other == 
     91 
     92Since trac uses a SQL database to store the data, you can import from other systems by examining the database tables. Just go into [http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html sqlite] command line to look at the tables and import into them from your application. 
     93 
     94=== Using a comma delimited file - CSV === 
     95See [http://trac.edgewall.org/attachment/wiki/TracSynchronize/csv2trac.2.py] for details.  This approach is particularly useful if one needs to enter a large number of tickets by hand. (note that the ticket type type field, (task etc...) is also needed for this script to work with more recent Trac releases) 
     96Comments on script: The script has an error on line 168, ('Ticket' needs to be 'ticket').  Also, the listed values for severity and priority are swapped.  
     97 
     98=== Using an Excel (.xls) or comma delimited file (.csv) === 
     99This plugin http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketImportPlugin lets you import into Trac a series of tickets from a CSV file or (if the xlrd library is installed) from an Excel file. 
     100 
     101You can also use it to modify tickets in batch, by saving a report as CSV, editing the CSV file, and re-importing the tickets. 
     102 
     103This plugin is very useful when starting a new project: you can import a list of requirements that may have come from meeting notes, list of features, other ticketing systems... It's also great to review the tickets off-line, or to do massive changes to tickets. 
     104 
     105Based on the ticket id (or, if no id exists, on the summary) in the imported file, tickets are either created or updated.
