Just in case anyone is looking at this now, they've discontinued support for this plugin as of July 1, 2019.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Yes. I've done it for one client.

[Samuel Engelman]

How difficult is it? We are trying to determine whether it's worth converting or should we just start entering new tickets into Jira and keep Gemini for historical data.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

Depends on how much of your data you want out. It was a while ago, but all we really did was export the outstanding items and import them from CSV. There was a bit of SQL wizardry to line up a couple of things the CSV import couldn't handle, and then we left the old system read-only as a reference.

Does anyone know how to extract the attachments out of Gemini so they can be imported into Jira? I'm told that they are stored in the DB in Gemini rather than the file system.

Hi Nic I know it's been a while, but do you have these SQL statements? I've been looking for a solution to import the Gemini issues to JIRA. Best regards, Christian

Wow, 2011, and even then I said "it was a while ago". I know the SQL we used then is definitely invalid now, the shape of custom fields in the database has changed significantly, so it wouldn't help you now. I'd re-examine the current CSV import, it is better than the old one.
