Due to several reasons we will set up a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Cluster in the next few monthns.
Therefore it would be nice, to migrate all SQL-based Applications on this cluster.
Since i had no experience with migrations from MySQL to MSSQL i started with the same system setup.
I tried to migrate the data from our productive OTRS-System (2.1.5) via ODBC (MySQL ODBC 5.1) into a VM (Server 2003 with SQL 2005 and OTRS 2.4.7).
I tought it may be possible to update the database afterwards on the MSSQL-System and tried to run the scripts located at "<OTRS-root>\scripts\database\", but there were several error messages.
At least a login with root@localhost was possible, but since the charater sets between MySQL and MSSQL differ german "Umlaute" (ö,ä,ü) and special chars can't be displayed.
All other configurations and settings we set in the productive system, are gone in the test VM.
In my opinion the only way to do this, is to update from 2.1.5 to the newest Version (with MySQL) and AFTERWARDS migrate to MSSQL?
I already found the 2.1.5 installer on our file server (it's not online anymore on the otrs ftp!), but I'm not completely sure about the update process.
How excactly do i update from such a old version to 2.4.7?
First to the next minor like 2.2 and then 2.3 and 2.4, or in even smaller steps?
Thanks in advance for your time and help,
sincerly,
Thomas
