Upgrade OCS Inventory from 1.02 RC3 to latest

Question

Hello,

We have a server with OCS Inventory running version 1.02 RC3. We want to install a new server, install a newer version of OCS Inventory, and migrate the data from the old OCS Inventory to the new one.

In the FAQ section of the OCS Inventory website (https://wiki.ocsinventory-ng.org), they don't recommend updating OCS Inventory to the latest version directly. They recommend updating to version 2.0 and then to the latest version.

The problem I'm encountering is that I can't find version 2.0 of OCS Inventory available for download. Where can I get it?

Thanks

I give some ideas with 'Upgrade from ocs 2.0.5 to 2.7'.

Starting from 2.2, it's possible to go to any upper version executing sql scripts provided in 'file/updates' dir (with Apache2 stopped).

But before 2.2, it's not easy due upgrade is done each version by each version : so I suggest compare database schema and write your own upgrade sql script.

But 1.02RC3 is very very old : why you want keeping history ? Did you consider directly create a new server ? Before, you need to verify if old agent could inventory on 2.2 server or more ...

(old versions are available at launchpad.net)
