Hi ,
I've a very large database in a CRM (SugarCRM), I'm thinking of migrating that database to Odoo? How can I do that. What I can see is SugarCRM and Odoo have completely different database schemas, so I can't think of directly migrating database from SugarCRM to Odoo. I will have to manually import entries in Odoo. Or is there any possibility of programmatically importing the database in Odoo?
Thanks,
Abdul
Can you export your data to Excel or CVS? If so, you could just import it via standard import functionality, without much programming..
What kind of data do you have?
What more would you like to export?
Thanks dear Mathias, I've exported to CSV and tried to import in Odoo, but the problem is SugarCRM and Odoo have completely different DB schemas. So now I've come across the solution (either using ETL or writing a custom script to migrate the data). Thanks
I've recently been importing data from zoho to odoo using the standard import feature of odoo it worked perfectly using the External ID feature for Contacts/Partners/Oppurtunity/Country.
This slideshare was a great help:

Only problem, I wasn't abble to import the several "notes" or "messages" attached to each contacts or opportunity.
Thanks Ric. Have you been able to define relationships among various tables as well?
Yes I have. Here is what I did for the contact table: - Export contact data of zoho to CSV - Import data into google spreadsheet in order to clean the data like merging First and Last Name. In the process make sure there is a unique identifier for each contact and that the unique identifier of the company appears for each contact. It is also usefull the change the field name in order to help odoo retrieve automaticaly each field and suppress unecessary fields. and also don't forget to set a field "is_company" as "false" for all the contacts - Export data from google speadsheet to .csv format. - Import .csv file to odoo, if odoo hasn't retrieve automaticaly the name of the field you'll have to pick the correct odoo field for each field or your file (that's why it is better to rename the title of your field before exporting the data from google spreadsheet) for the unique identifier of the company set the name this field to "related company / external ID" and off you go you can import the data. If you have over 500 contacts to import I advise you to do some testing first with less than 3 contacts. Don't worry if you try to import the same contact many times since you have previously set a unique identifier for each contact and that you named the field "External ID" odoo will automaticaly detect that this contact has already been imported and only new fields linked to this contact will be added to your odoo contact. It took me a full day to import 1500 contacts 1000 companies and 200 opportunities.

Let's say you have two tables: one for "contact" and one for "companies" your "companies" table need to have a "unique identifier" field that you will name "external ID" it is this field that will allow you to relate the "company" to your "contact" Your "contact" table will have a field called "External ID" but also a field named "related company / external ID" which stands for the "External ID" of the company you've just imported.

I create module https://github.com/yelizariev/addons-yelizariev/tree/master/sugarcrm_migration
It's based on standard import functionality, but allows to create complex mapping rules, split importing records in batches, create child contacts from sugarcrm fields (e.g. primary_first_name_c, primary_first_name_c etc.), create tags from sugarcrm fields etc.
I am not sure that this module is ready-to-use for you, but it is a good start point.
Yes great! It was really helpful, thanks !
The problem seems to be solved using ETL, or may be I've to write a custom script in Python to do the migration. Here is more detail:
