Mr. Doherty is correct, the migration script was written for a specific project over a year ago and may be out of date. If you need assistance using this script for your migration please feel free to contact me or leave a comment on this post.

DO NOT use this script for anything important! BugZilla and Redmine have both had substantial updates in the past few months. Without using the exact versions that Mr. Heath wrote this script using, you can’t be sure your data will be properly preserved.

If you need to migrate from BugZilla to Redmine, write your own script and TEST. If you can’t do that, you have no business professionally programming at all. Harsh maybe, but true.

Hi Robert,

i have been writing a ruby migration script and i have been
reusing quite a bit of your code. especially the SQL-Statements and the mapping
of Bugzilla-entities to Redmine-entities have been a great help for me.

Thanks a lot

you can find the script here:

I used Bugzilla version 3.1.3 and Redmine version 0.8.0.stable.2361

Hi Robert

thanks for publishing the script you did, it’s going to be really useful to me as well. Just one question: which Bugzilla version did you use as source for the migration? And Redmine?

Thanks again a lot!
