Export tickets to files

[chistilina_tn@…]

How is it possible to export tickets to the files. Is it possible to build a query that would export each ticket in a separate file or at least all the tickets in a single file.

It's not possible out-of-the-box, but it's quite simple to implement. As there's no standard format for representing tickets as files, this will be highly dependent on the use case. A standard implementation in Trac core is therefore hardly possible, hence closing as "wontfix".

The API for accessing the database is described in TracDev/DatabaseApi, and the model objects (Ticket in particular) in TracDev/DataModels#Ticket. That should hopefully get you started. If you need any help, please ask on the MailingList or the IrcChannel.

See #8383.

Ok, so it's a duplicate. OTOH, using the model API to export the data in a use-case specific format is probably easier for the OP than parsing RDF…

It's also somehow related to DistributedTrac and the idea to have a distributed store to keep the data, the db being used as a "cache" but not as the primary data container.
