Hi I'm trying to use the below script for an automated jira backup, although the script is seems to have a lot of errors when i attempt to run it.  Has anyone experienced ant issue using this script?  Thanks

$account = 'youratlassianjira' # Atlassian subdomain i.e. whateverproceeds.atlassian.net

$username = 'youratlassianusername' # username with domain something@domain.com

$token = 'youratlassianpassword' # Token created from product https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/api-tokens-938839638.html

$destination = 'C:\Backups' # Location on server where script is run to dump the backup zip file.

$attachments = 'false' # Tells the script whether or not to pull down the attachments as well

$cloud = 'true' # Tells the script whether to export the backup for Cloud or Server

$today = Get-Date -format yyyyMMdd-hhm

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12;

if(!(Test-Path -path $destination)){

write-host "Folder is not present, creating folder"

mkdir $destination #Make the path and folder is not present

}

else{

write-host "Path is already present"

}

#Convert credentials to base64 for REST API header

function ConvertTo-Base64($string) {

return $encoded;

}

$b64 = ConvertTo-Base64($username + ":" + $token);

$auth = $b64;

$string = "cbAttachments:true, exportToCloud:true"

This value is wrong:

$account='XXXXX.atlassian.net'

From the code, you can see that the script will append ".atlassian.net", therefore it expects only:

$account='XXXXX'

Can you follow me?

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

Vague question.

What is the problem exactly? Symptoms? Error messages? etc.

[Andrew Adams]

Apologies, was meant to include errors...below.

Hmm, this output looks like a lot of important details are trimmed (and replace with "..."). You should give us the complete and precise output.

But, let me ask something. The script has a bunch of configuration parameters in the first lines, to enter the site's name, the user's credentials and such.

Have you actually configured those (at least the first 3) when you try to execute the script? Without setting the correct values for those, it will never work.

[Andrew Adams]

Hi , yes I have completed the required variables.

$account = 'XXXXX.atlassian.net' # Atlassian subdomain i.e. whateverproceeds.atlassian.net
$username = 'XXXXX' # username with domain something@domain.com
$token = 'ATATT3xFfGF0XXXXXXXXX

I have created a new copy of the script, the error has changed to the below:

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

From the script code you can see, that it will append the ".atlassian.net" suffix to the URL.

Therefore

$account = 'XXXXX.atlassian.net' 

should be only:

$account = 'XXXXX' 

[Andrew Adams]

Thanks, updated to:

$account = 'xxxx-staging' # Atlassian subdomain i.e. whateverproceeds.atlassian.net

the script got a bit further then there seems to be something in the code cuasing the error  linked with "\d+"

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

The next thing that looks strage is:

with -1-byte payload

I can see from the script code that it compiles a JSON for the request body, but -1 suggest that it is not correct.
