All,

I've been going back through our RT system and I've noticed that links between 
"old" tickets are missing/broken. I think that I understand the reason for this 
but I'd appreciate someone confirming it for me before I hack the database (and 
potentially break things).

When I look at the tickets, I see things like:

Fri Feb 01 12:00:46 2008        fred - Dependency by added



The system is reporting that there is a Dependency relationship but not picking 
up which ticket is at the other end of it.


Picking around in the database itsefl, I see that the relationships seem to be 
in the Links table and that the items added to the tickets are in the 
Transactions table. I also note that there is a difference between 
"Base"/"Target" and "LocalBase"/"LocalTarget" in that the former also contains 
the sitename. It is *this* that I think is causing the problems.

We moved domain name some time ago and I suspect that the problems arise from 
this. The sitename in the Links that are "missing" is the old site name.


So, am I on the right track here? If I do a global find/replace on the old 
sitename, converting it to the new one, will all my links spring into life 
again or will I just trash the whole system? If this *is* the way to go, apart 
from Links (Base|Target) and Transactions (NewValue) what else will I need to 
tweak?


Thanks in advance.



Later,

Andy
