[rt-users] using RT libraries on a different machine then our 'main' RT install

[Emile Aben]

Hi,

I'm looking into using RT perl libraries on a different machine then
our RT-webinterface/mailgate/main-install runs on (currently version
3.0.9).
I'd like to use the libraries to get information from the RT-database and 
do some local processing of that data.

I couldn't find information in mailing-list archive and wiki about
this, so I hope somebody can give me some insight in the do-s and the
don't-s of this.

The quick and dirty way of getting what I want is just copying over my
/usr/local/rt3/ tree to my new machine, tweak the siteconfig a bit,
and I'd have a bloated (I don't need the mailgate/webinterface) but
possibly working version of rt there.

A better way would be to just install the library part of RT from the
RT distribution, but I haven't seen a way of only installing the
library part, and not the rest of it, that I don't need on this
machine. Furthermore I don't know if it's possible/advisable to use >
3.0.9 RT libraries on a 3.0.9 RT install (has the database changed
inbetween 3.0.9 and 3.2 or 3.4 branches?)

I hope somebody can give me more insight into this,

thanks in advance,
Emile
