We currently host JIRA internally on a cloud server.  We are changing cloud service providers and I need to know how to transfer JIRA to the new server (I realize about redirecting the DNS), I need to transfer the software.  Could it be as easy as moving the Atlassian directory to the new server, then pointing the DNS?

 

Thanks in advance

You need to:

1 install Jira on the new server,

2 take a Jira backup on the old.

3 create empty database on new system

4 Move the attachment directory and files to the new system

5 start Jira on new system and configure it

6 import backup  on the new system.

Thank you.  If I may follow up...

I've inherited this migration. 

1.  Would the Installation files for Jira (step 1) be within the installed files, or is something else required (such as an install CD).  Would install media be easy to obtain (I have our license info)?

2.  Is "JIRADB" the only database required?  I see a number of other DBs installed on the instance.  Not sure if related.

 

Thanks in advance
