db/fixtures/history_user_profiles.csv Historic user profile evolution: which user had which profile at a point in time? The cmi:load_user_role_history loads the information from this file to the database.
-

rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=redmine_cmi rake cmi:create_data rake cmi:load_role_costs_history rake cmi:load_user_role_history rake cmi:recalculate_costs rake cmi:migrate

Install notesThe plugin needs one custom field to work. This field is created by the rake task cmi:create_data, based on the configuration in config/defaults.yml, but there is no automated way to remove it.
It is, thus, advisable to do a database backup before trying the plugin.
¶ ↑
UninstallAs stated above, you’ll have to manually remove the created custom field and values.
The plugin also makes some database schema changes wich you should revert. Stop the server and in redmine’s directory run (if you are running Redmine in, e.g. the production environment, you need to append RAILS_ENV=production):
rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=redmine_cmi VERSION=0
After this you can remove the plugin’s directory (vendor/plugins/redmine_cmi) and restart the server.
