Features¶ ↑

• __FEATURE__

Getting the plugin¶ ↑

A copy of the plugin can be downloaded from {Little Stream Software}[https://projects.littlestreamsoftware.com/projects/_XXX___/files] or from {GitHub}[http://github.com/edavis10/_XXX___]

Installation and Setup¶ ↑

1. Follow the Redmine plugin installation steps at: www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Plugins

2. Restart your Redmine web servers (e.g. mongrel, thin, mod_rails)

3. Run the merge as described below

Usage¶ ↑

Make sure you backup both of your databases. There is no undo for these commands.

Define the second database (Source)¶ ↑

Edit the config/database.yml in the Redmine root, adding a definition for the source_redmine:

production:
  adapter: mysql
  host: localhost
  username: root
  password: password
  database: redmine_target

source_redmine:
  adapter: mysql
  host: localhost
  username: root
  password: password
  database: redmine_import

Run the database merge¶ ↑

Run the included rake task from the Redmine root “rake redmine:merge_redmine RAILS_ENV=production”

Check your data¶ ↑

When it’s completed, the contents of the source_redmine database (redmine_import above) should have been merged into your production database (redmine_target).

Tips¶ ↑

• Before running the rake task, run “rake redmine:data_report RAILS_ENV=production” to print out the total number of records you are using in your target database. After the migration, you can rerun this to see how many were added.
