Have you checked out the /opt/otrs/scripts/backup.pl and /opt/otrs/scripts/restore.pl scripts? These are both described at https://otrs.github.io/doc/manual/admin/stable/en/html/backup-and-restore.html.

When performing restore from the generated backup files, I usually find that it's necessary to drop/create the mysql otrs database. Otherwise, the restore will complain that the database already exists.

On the production environment, generate a backup:
sudo /opt/otrs/scripts/backup.pl -d /path/to/backup/folder

On the test environment:
1. Copy the backup from the production system.
2. Drop/create the otrs database. WARNING: make sure you're on the dev environment.
mysql -e "drop database otrs;"
mysql -e "create database otrs;"
3. Restore the backup.
/opt/otrs/scripts/restore.pl -b /path/to/backup/folder/YYY-MM-DD_hh-mm/ -d /opt/otrs/
4. Verify the DB.
su - otrs -c '$HOME/bin/otrs.CheckDB.pl'
5. Re-configure the otrs cron jobs.
/opt/otrs/bin/Cron.sh restart otrs
6. To disable otrs user cron jobs, for testing or to avoid colliding with an existing production instance, disable the otrs crontab with '/opt/otrs/bin/Cron.sh stop otrs'.
7. Start the Scheduler.
su - otrs -c '$HOME/bin/otrs.Scheduler.pl -a start'

Hope this helps.

Hello,

The way we have done that before is:

on app:
tar --exclude=var/article --exclude=var/tmp -cvpzf ../otrs_app.tar.gz *

on db:
mysqldump -u root -p otrs > otrs_db.sql

And then restore both on your new environment, previous installation of the product so all software requirements are already met.

Hi everyone!

 

I’m using OTRS 4.0.11.

 

Because of some company policies, I need to set up to environments, one for testing and another for production (operational).

 

The problem is: How to export the required configuration data from test env. and deploy it into production env?

 

I know I could copy and paste the ZZZAuto.pm file, but is that enough? Is there any database configuration data I should also take care? If so, how?

 

I know I could use the provided backup.pl script, but I don’t want to backup/restore all the data, only the configuration data. Is there any way to do so?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Samuel
