Hello Jesse,
<-- cutted personal paragraph -->
Nowadays we are planning upgrade the really old RT 2.0.15 to
RT 3.6.x from Debian distribution. We want to keep all tickets from RT2
(more than65.000 tickets), but I have got a lot of problems with migration tool
(rt2-to-rt3-1.23). We wanted to migrate tickets to RDBS Oracle, but with
thistool I was able to migrate only users. See migration tool output:
---- output ----
...users were imported here...

.

When I deleted all transactions by hand after importing users then
I was able to migrate several hundreds of tickets. But, it ended with
this log:
--- output ----

.t-1145

$VAR1 = {

'id' => 47054,
'Creator' => undef,
'Data' => 'No Subject',
'ActivateScrips' => '0'
};
---- output ----
and exited the script.
When I tried to access the home page in RT it took more than 1 minute
(with those 1144 tickets). In DB I could see several million records
sent to the script. So I think the "limit" for the select is not working
properly in Oracle - OR - this happens due to interrupted migration. I
don't know.
Then we decided to stay on MySQL platform - but there are similar
problems with Transactions which has to be deleted by hand before
tickets import. And - I don't know if is it bug or feature - all
correspondence in tickets in RT3 are inserted by "RT system". It means
the migration tool doesn't save the identity of users who replied to
tickets.
The problem with ticket 1145 didn't appear when converting the data
within MySQL. But from time to time there are some other errors in the
output:

In the README file of migration tool there is a sentence "This tool
migrates your RT2 instance to an RT 3.0 instance". Couldn't be this the
source of problems when I'm trying to migrate data to RT 3.6.x?
Would you know about any newer version of migration tool without such
problems? Even commercial/payed version? Or any ideas what could be
wrong and what should we focus on?
Thank you a lot for concerning our problem, best regards
