Upgrading From 2.4 To 3.0 Using IIS6 And MSSQL
What SQL script do I run when upgrading from OTRS 2.4 to ORTS 3.0? Is it "scripts\DBUpdate-to-2.4.mssql.sql" or would it be the "scripts\DBUpdate-to-3.0.mssql.sql"?
Also... There is a Perl script in the scripts directory called "DBUpdate-to-2.4.pl". What is that for?
