There is a table called link_relation that maintains those links. I will be attempting a merge of that table from one of my environments to another since cloning and importing don't seem to carry this table.

We have multiple ITSM environments for system and acceptance testing and then production. I have created my CIs and Services and have linked them in their upstream and downstream relationships in the systems test environment. I can export/import the CIs to populate the next two environments, but I lose the relationships. Where are these links maintained and how can I preserve the relationships as I migrate through my environments? (without having to create them all over again)?

Hi Jim, according to Marcos Mail (http://lists.otrs.org/pipermail/itsm/2010-August/000933.html) the relationships are stored in the database table "link_relation" (http://ftp.otrs.org/pub/otrs/misc/otrs-2.4-database.png , look a bit left and above the center). But I haven't yet delved into this. Exporting or importing them is a common question but AFAIR there was no answer to this on the mailing list or in the forum, I'm sorry :( Regards Alexander -- radprax Gesellschaft fuer medizinische Versorgungszentren mbH, Bergstr. 7 - 9, 42105 Wuppertal, Fon: +49 202 2489 1110, Fax: +49 202 2489 94 1119 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Andreas Martin, Dr. med.
