Migrating project from Mantis


This page describes how to import a project from Mantis to Changelogic.


Please note that the functionality discussed here is not yet available in public release; it is available upon special request.


Scope


In Mantis database, only SELECT queries are performed; transfer script does not attempt any modifications to existing data. In Changelogic database, INSERT / UPDATE / SELECT / DELETE / LOCK privileges are required.


The following data will be transferred:

  • Mantis components -> Changelogic tasks
  • Tasks
  • User accounts of users that own or have manipulated tasks (except when the user already has an account in Changelogic, matched by real name)
  • Users' Mantis project access level -> Changelogic roles (only for users who do not have any role in the project yet)
  • File attachments
  • Comments

Needed data


You will need the following data to perform the migration:

  • where the MySQL database for Mantis is and how to access it – host, port (default 3306), schema, user, password
  • the exact project name in Mantis
  • project owner – who will be responsible for components that have no owner in Mantis

Preparing

  • Make sure the project owner has a user account in Changelogic
  • Add the project to be imported. Intergration with code in VCS is not required for import, so «n/a» may be used as “project repository” for now.
