HipChat Importation

Hi everyone. I sincerely apologize for the delay that it’s taken to respond here. My team and I have been awfully busy with work for a client over the past several weeks so it’s been hard to find time to devote to this. Also, I didn’t see @Sergiy’s post until I saw @Niels’s post, so I apologize especially for that.

In response to @Sergiy:

  1. No, Hipmost can be run on any system which has the Hipchat data on it. It operates on the data retrieved from Hipchat, converting it to JSONL files which can be imported into Mattermost.

  2. Yes, decrypt and unzip the file before trying to use Hipmost. We’ve added new documentation on how to do this.

  3. I’m not quite sure what you mean by this, but I’ll try to answer as best I can. The new documentation covers all of this in more detail, but in short: the typical scenario of data transfer from Hipchat (Cloud or otherwise) to Mattermost, would consist of setting up a Mattermost server, exporting Hipchat data, converting the data using Hipmost, and importing the data into Mattermost one room at a time.

Please feel free to ask anymore questions. I will make sure to reply in a much timelier fashion this time.
