Hello @Arun Shanmugam 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Have you reviewed the logs to look for information related to this error?

Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it?

Hi Trudy,

Thank you for your response..

Could you help me to get into the logs as I am unable to find that.

I haven't uninstalled and reinstalled it... Will try that.

Hello @Arun Shanmugam 

Atlassian has a DC KB for this exact symptom, and one common cause is that Jira still has multiple jira-migration-plugin JARs or other old conflicting plugin JARs in the bundled/installed plugin folders, which stops JCMA from enabling cleanly. 

https://support.atlassian.com/jira/kb/jira-cloud-migration-assistant-is-disabled-after-updating-it-to-the-latest-version/ 

Check atlassian-jira.log first, also check for duplicate old jira-migration-plugin files before just reinstalling again.
