     5To migrate issue tickets from other issue-tracking systems into Trac or perform housekeeping actions on tickets or simply synchronize different databases, there are some tools, plugins and scripts available.

    2637Currently, the following data is imported from Bugzilla:
    27 
    28   * bugs
    29   * bug activity (field changes)
    30   * bug attachments
     38 * bugs
     39 * bug activity (field changes)
     40 * bug attachments
     41 * user names and passwords (put into a htpasswd file)
    3142
    3243The script provides a number of features to ease the conversion, such as:
    33 
    34   * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS:  Trac doesn't have the concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead.
    35 
    36   * IGNORE_COMMENTS:  Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp.
    37 
    38   * STATUS_KEYWORDS:  Attach ticket keywords for the Bugzilla statuses not available in Trac.  By default, the 'VERIFIED' and 'RELEASED' Bugzilla statuses are translated into Trac keywords.
     44 * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS: Trac has no concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead.
     45 * IGNORE_COMMENTS: Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp.
     46 * STATUS_KEYWORDS: Attach ticket keywords for the Bugzilla statuses not available in Trac. By default, the `VERIFIED` and `RELEASED` Bugzilla statuses are translated into Trac keywords.

    45 How do you explain school to a higher intelligence?
    46                 -- Elliot, "E.T."
     56The adequate milestone for valid bugzilla2trac issue is usually ''Not applicable'', which means that fixes to the contributed script are not planned for a particular Trac release, but can happen anytime.
     57
     58== Jira
     59
     60[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/JiraToTracIntegration JiraToTracIntegration]: a plugin that provides tools to import Atlassian Jira backup files into Trac. The plugin consists of a Python 3.1 commandline tool that:
     61 - Parses the Jira backup XML file.
     62 - Sends the imported Jira data and attachments to Trac using the [th:XmlRpcPlugin].
     63 - Generates a htpasswd file containing the imported Jira users and their SHA-512 base64 encoded passwords.
     64
     65== Mantis
     66
     67[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MantisImportScript MantisImportScript]: a script to import the following type of data from Mantis into Trac:
     68 * bugs
     69 * bug comments
     70 * bug activity (field changes)
     71 * attachments (as long as the files live in the mantis database, not on the filesystem).
     72
     73== !PlanetForge
     74
     75[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/PlanetForgeImportExportPlugin PlanetForgeImportExportPlugin]: this plugin exports Trac data (wiki, tickets, compoments, permissions, repositories, etc.) using the open format designed by the [https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/coclico/ COCLICO] project. It extends the webadmin panel and the 'trac admin ...' command. Has no 'import' feature.
     76
     77== Scarab
     78
     79[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ScarabToTracScript ScarabToTracScript]: a script that migrates Scarab issues to Trac tickets. Requires [th:XmlRpcPlugin].
     80
     81== Sourceforge
     82
     83[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/SfnToTracScript SfnToTracScript]: importer of !SourceForge's new backup file (originated from #Trac3521).
     84Also, ticket data can be imported from Sourceforge using the [trac:browser:trunk/contrib/sourceforge2trac.py sourceforge2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution.
     85
     86== Other
     87
     88Since Trac uses a SQL database to store the data, you can also custom-import from other systems by examining the database tables. Just go into [http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html sqlite] command line to look at the tables and import them from your application.
     89
     90=== Comma delimited file - CSV
     91
     92See [trac:attachment:csv2trac.2.py:wiki:TracSynchronize csv2trac.2.py] for details. This approach is particularly useful if you need to enter a large number of tickets by hand. Note that the ticket type type field, (task etc.) is also needed for this script to work with more recent Trac releases.
     93
     94Comments on script: The script has an error on line 168: 'Ticket' needs to be 'ticket'. Also, the listed values for severity and priority are swapped.
