Import chat history

Is it possible to import chat history into Openfire?

We were previously using ICQ Corporate and we switched to openfire, but a lot of employees are emotionally attached to the years of chat history they built up. I have written a program (partly based on the source of ICQ History Reader) to extract the chat history from the ICQ Client, but now I need to know how I can import the history into Openfire, I haven't seen a Sql table that holds that information.

Kind regards.

Re: Import chat history

Chat history, or "message archiving" as that functionality is referred to in XMPP, isn't implemented in Openfire itself. There is at least one third party implementation that's available: you can read more on it at http://www.igniterealtime.org/blog/2007/06/28/xep-0136-message-archiving/

  Thank you for the quick answer, I see that Spark stores the Chat history in xml files in C:\Documents and Settings\<WINDOWS_USER>\Spark\user\<OPENFIRE_USER>\transcripts, I will make my ICQ extract tool modify these files.
