Merge one jira cloud instance to another

[Sudharshan Mohan Rao]

Hi Team,

 We have a requirement to club two different jira instances into one. I had been searching the forum for a solution, and I had found this:
https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-merge-two-different-jira-cloud-applications-together-779160767.html?_ga=2.194442219.733222258.1561352442-149660257.1556012053

But it looks like there will be few data loss in the process, which we do not want. So please help me in understanding a better alternate solution where we can migrate only a single project at a time, because we have only few projects.

Thanks,

Sudharshan M

Hello,

Another way would be to export both Jira Clouds to two Jira Servers and then user either Configuration Manager or Project Configurator to merge these two Jira instances. Then load the backup to a Jira Cloud.

Thank you for the suggestion Alex. We have installed few plugins in our instances and the issues use them. Will there be any data loss to these plugin configurations during this migration process?

It depends on the apps. For most apps you will loose data. You should read the docs for each app on how to migrate this app. Some apps can be migrated, some can be migrated partially and some can not be migrated at all.
