Hi wbaccus,
activeCollab 1.0 requires that text of a comment is at least five letter long so importer skips the short ones.
Everything else is importer properly?

Everything else is imported, but there's not that much else in there. I only have 2 projects on both of my installations of 0.7.2, so it doesn't really import much of anything because of the limitation. I guess I'll have to comb through and find the short posts.

After installing the importer module, I do not see it under Admin / Tools. All I see are Mass Email and Test Email tools. activeCollab v1.1.2 Corporate version.

Greetings,
We are running 0.7.1 on an older server system and I would like to migrate to a shiny new 1.1.2 Corporate installation on newer hardware. What is the recommended upgrade path for this?
- Do I *really* have to install 1.0.6 first and upgrade twice to get to 1.1.2? Are you working on the issue?
- Would you recommend moving 0.7.1 to the new hardware, then upgrading the software, or upgrade the software first?
Thanks,

peterp:- Do I *really* have to install 1.0.6 first and upgrade twice to get to 1.1.2? Are you working on the issue?
Only route possible is to upgrade to v1.0.6 as described here and than upgrade to v1.1.2 as described here.
Importer module is not our highest priority now. It's not a simple hack to make it work, but the whole module needs to be rewritten.

Import procedure will run faster on new hardware, but it should make no big different if you import 1 - 3 projects at once.

Thanks for the info. I have 1.0.6 running with the importer, and have imported most of our 60 or so small projects.
A couple of the imports are failing with errors such as:
Oops! We found some errors that need to be corrected before we can proceed
1. Faild to import milestone NL
2. Faild to import task F
and the import fails. How should these errors be corrected?

Name of the milestone needs to be a bit longer - 3 letters at minimum. Correct them in 0.7.1 and import that project again.

Thanks, that got the projects imported.
For others going down this path: I had to dig through and find all milestones and tasks with names less than 3 characters and rename them. I found that the importer only flags the first of each type of object it cannot process for this reason, so you need to find them all.
Some severe import problems I've already noticed are:
- The only attribute of People that came across is their email address!
- Everyone now has Role: Administrators
- All projects now have me as Leader
- The project descriptions are *gone*. They need to move to the new overview field
- Company info is gone except for Name
The missing people attributes and project descriptions are a huge problem for us.

Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We'll see to address them when we revisit importer module.
