Hi there,
I am migrating 350 users from openfire 4.0 with the embedded hsql database to 4.2 on a mariadb database. I used the user export import plugin which did a nice job. I had to script the the groups and group membership but that was quick and easy with the rest api plugin…
I am now faced with getting the avatars out of the old database and into the new one. Once this is done I should be practically done with the migration and… hopefully nobody will notice a difference.
Does anyone know how I might be able to get the avatar files out of the embedded database along with their associated username, so that I can insert it into the new one? Are the files kept outside of the database with only pointers inside? Looks like the table ofVCard may have the files encoded… but I don’t want to waste too much time trying to save some jpegs.
Thanks!
