--warning-- --sales pitch-- I'd be remiss if I didn't mention one nice little feature of Northcraft in this area. Our cubes are based on .XML... and populated from the ARsystem database. Bottom line is, 2 of our customers are currently leaving our old cubes up (tied to a previous version of Remedy ITSM... 7.1), while they use our new cubes against 7.6.4. So, this allows you to retire the relational database, but leave the MD one in place without the same DB license and storage requirements. That can help.

Start clean. We did that back in 2009 when we migrated from an old custom app to ITSM. Else you need to go through HPD:Help Desk and identify all the required fields, this isn't necessarily going to be straight forward, e.g. the customer name will need a people profile, unless you hard code this to the same person on all data imported, same would be true for owner or person assigned, etc... Then there's Companies, Vendor companies, Support Groups that are all going to reference their specific request/entry Ids on the foundation forms. So unless you're hard coding these on the data import, it could be a headache. Regards, Andrew C.

We're trying to import data from our old custom ticketing form into Incident, but we're running into a lot of errors in the process where some fields are not accepting the data and other fields (such as the customer info) are not displaying data at all after the import. Does anybody have a list of all of the fields that need to be populated in Incident in order for a data import procedure to function properly? Also, if the list had any recommended values for the fields, that would be great.
