Replace the xml file using Rest API

[sai bharath]

Hi Atlassian Team,

Can we replace the configuration files like server.xml, setenv.sh, web.xml files on the host from where the jira is up and running, using Rest API. If yes please share any example.

This should be without resstarting the jira instance

Thanks,

Sai

No, that would be a disaster as you could easily wreck your installation or destroy its security completely.

  If you want to change those files, then you need to go to the server, stop the system, make the changes and restart.  All of the files you have mentioned are only read at start up, it is mandatory to stop and restart.
