It migrates users, products, and bugs from the other bug-tracker into this Bugzilla, without removing any of the data currently in this Bugzilla.</p> <p>Note that you will need enough space in your temporary directory to hold the size of all attachments in your current bug-tracker.</p> <p>You may also need to increase the number of file handles a process is allowed to hold open (as the migrator will create a file handle for each attachment in your database). On Linux and simliar systems, you can do this as root by typing <code class="code">ulimit -n 65535</code> before running your script.</p> <p class="backlinkbottom"><b><a name="___bottom" href="index.html" title="All Documents"><<</a></b></p> <!-- end doc --> </body></html>
