Important for Upgrading

  • From OTRS 2.4.x: Please read the UPGRADING and INSTALL files for detailed instructions.

Warning

OTRS versions from 3.0.beta1 up to 3.0.2 were affected by a bug in the GenericAgent which could cause the "Ticket Delete" flag to be active by default for new GenericAgent jobs, depending on the locale. If you used one of the affected versions and have created new GenericAgent jobs with them, please review them to check if the "Ticket Delete" flag indeed has the correct value. Otherwise unwanted data loss might occur.
