It's all in the UPGRADING file:

[UPGRADING]
These instructions are for people upgrading OTRS from "1.1" to "1.2".

*) Stop all your services (e. g. rcotrs stop-force)

*) Backup everything (database, Kernel/Config.pm, Kernel/Config/GenericAgent.pm, var/*)

*) Make sure that you have backed up everything ,-)

*) If possible try this install on a separate machine, althoug
   I had always only production machines to upgrade

*) Install the new release (tar or RPM)

*) If you use the tar:

    a) the otrs themes between 1.1 and 1.2 are _not_ compatible
       (don't us the old theme)!

*) Update the database changes with:
    MySQL: 
      cat $OTRS_HOME/scripts/DBUpdate-to-1.2.mysql.sql | mysql -p -f -u root otrs   
    PostgreSQL:
      cat $OTRS_HOME/scripts/DBUpdate-to-1.2.postgresql.sql | psql otrs

   (Don't worry about the error messages, you can update all previous version
   with this script and in the most cases your database has already the most changes!)

*) Execute $OTRS_HOME/bin/SetPermissions.sh !

*) Restart your services (e. g. rcotrs restart-force or each service manually)
