+= Importing ticket data
+
+[[PageOutline(2-5,Contents,pullout)]]
+
+To migrate issue tickets from other issue-tracking systems into Trac or perform housekeeping actions on tickets or simply synchronize different databases, there are some tools, plugins and scripts available. 
+
+== !TicketImportPlugin
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/TicketImportPlugin TicketImportPlugin]: a plugin that lets you import or update into Trac a series of tickets from a '''CSV file''' or (if the [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd xlrd library] is installed) from an '''Excel spreadsheet'''. 
+
+== !ExportImportXlsPlugin
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ExportImportXlsPlugin ExportImportXlsPlugin]: a plugin that adds an admin panel for exporting and importing tickets via '''XLS file'''. Requires the python packages xlwt/rxld.
+
+== Bugzilla
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BugzillaIssueTrackingPlugin BugzillaIssueTrackingPlugin]: a plugin that integrates Bugzilla issue data into Trac keeping TracLinks. Ticket data can be imported from Bugzilla using the [trac:browser:trunk/contrib/bugzilla2trac.py bugzilla2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution.
+
+{{{
+$ bugzilla2trac.py
+bugzilla2trac - Imports a bug database from Bugzilla into Trac.
+
+Usage: bugzilla2trac.py [options]
+
+Available Options:
+  --db <MySQL dbname>              - Bugzilla's database
+  --tracenv /path/to/trac/env      - full path to Trac db environment
+  -h | --host <MySQL hostname>     - Bugzilla's DNS host name
+  -u | --user <MySQL username>     - effective Bugzilla's database user
+  -p | --passwd <MySQL password>   - Bugzilla's user password
+  -c | --clean                     - remove current Trac tickets before importing
+  --help | help                    - this help info
+
+Additional configuration options can be defined directly in the script.
+}}}
+
+Currently, the following data is imported from Bugzilla:
+ * bugs
+ * bug activity (field changes)
+ * bug attachments
+ * user names and passwords (put into a htpasswd file)
+
+The script provides a number of features to ease the conversion, such as:
+ * PRODUCT_KEYWORDS: Trac has no concept of products, so the script provides the ability to attach a ticket keyword instead.
+ * IGNORE_COMMENTS: Don't import Bugzilla comments that match a certain regexp.
+ * STATUS_KEYWORDS: Attach ticket keywords for the Bugzilla statuses not available in Trac. By default, the `VERIFIED` and `RELEASED` Bugzilla statuses are translated into Trac keywords.
+
+For more details on the available options, see the configuration section at the top of the script.
+
+=== Known Issues
+{{{#!comment
+Don't merge this section in the default page
+}}}
+[[TicketQuery(keywords=~bugzilla,status=!closed)]]
+
+The adequate milestone for valid bugzilla2trac issue is usually ''Not applicable'', which means that fixes to the contributed script are not planned for a particular Trac release, but can happen anytime.
+
+== Jira
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/JiraToTracIntegration JiraToTracIntegration]: a plugin that provides tools to import Atlassian Jira backup files into Trac. The plugin consists of a Python 3.1 commandline tool that:
+ - Parses the Jira backup XML file.
+ - Sends the imported Jira data and attachments to Trac using the [th:XmlRpcPlugin].
+ - Generates a htpasswd file containing the imported Jira users and their SHA-512 base64 encoded passwords.
+
+== Mantis
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/MantisImportScript MantisImportScript]: a script to import the following type of data from Mantis into Trac:
+ * bugs
+ * bug comments
+ * bug activity (field changes)
+ * attachments (as long as the files live in the mantis database, not on the filesystem).
+
+== !PlanetForge
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/PlanetForgeImportExportPlugin PlanetForgeImportExportPlugin]: this plugin exports Trac data (wiki, tickets, compoments, permissions, repositories, etc.) using the open format designed by the [https://gforge.inria.fr/projects/coclico/ COCLICO] project. It extends the webadmin panel and the 'trac admin ...' command. Has no 'import' feature. 
+
+== Scarab
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/ScarabToTracScript ScarabToTracScript]: a script that migrates Scarab issues to Trac tickets. Requires [th:XmlRpcPlugin].
+
+== Sourceforge
+
+[https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/SfnToTracScript SfnToTracScript]: importer of !SourceForge's new backup file (originated from #Trac3521).
+Also, ticket data can be imported from Sourceforge using the [trac:browser:trunk/contrib/sourceforge2trac.py sourceforge2trac.py] script, available in the contrib/ directory of the Trac distribution.
+
+== Other
+
+Since Trac uses a SQL database to store the data, you can also custom-import from other systems by examining the database tables. Just go into [http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite.html sqlite] command line to look at the tables and import them from your application.
+
+=== Comma delimited file - CSV
+
+See [trac:attachment:csv2trac.2.py:wiki:TracSynchronize csv2trac.2.py] for details. This approach is particularly useful if you need to enter a large number of tickets by hand. Note that the ticket type type field, (task etc.) is also needed for this script to work with more recent Trac releases.
+
+Comments on script: The script has an error on line 168: 'Ticket' needs to be 'ticket'. Also, the listed values for severity and priority are swapped.
