[rt-users] How to correctly dump metadata other RT environment?

[Markus.Wildbolz at eu.magna.com]

Hi guys!

I'm trying to move all customizations I did in our productive environment 
to our test environment (on a clean, fresh installation).
I do not want to transfer the complete database because I dont need the 
tickets (and all the other stuff like transactions, etc.). So I thought 
the right way is to use the rt-dump-metadata program.
If I try to import the metadata-file through rt-setup-database into the 
test-environment I get errors and the configuration is not transferred 
successfully!



Could someone of you give me an explanation, what the definite steps for 
moving this metadata are?
My approach was the following:

Export:
rt4/sbin/rt-dump-metadata -a -s > metadata.xml

Import:
rt4-devel/sbin/rt-setup-database --action drop
rt4-devel/sbin/rt-setup-database --action create,schema
rt4-devel/sbin/rt-setup-database --action insert --datafile 
../rt4/metadata.xml


Did I miss a step? I don't know if I have to do --action acl,coredata 
first or not. However, I get many different errors.

I'm using two completely separated instances of RT 4.2.7 with MySQL 5.5.38 
on Debian 7

Would be fine, if someone has some input for me! I will try the 
recommended steps and get the definite error messages for you 
afterwards...



Greetings,
