Is JWFE a replacement for JSU?

Question

Hello,

We recently upgraded from JIRA 6.4 to 7.13 (big jump I know).

We had JSU and and JCFE installed as free add ons before the upgrade.

After the upgrade we noticed they needed updates and were no longer free.

We are using both in projects.  My question is JWFE a replacement for JSU?

I just do not want to buy 3 add ons to maintain functionality when previously 2 were free.

Hi Dawn

The Validators, Postfunctions, etc. will still be there, but only showing with their technical keys. And the functions will be unusable of course as some workflow transitions might fail.

Could be the easiest way of finding out what workflows are affected as users will probably start complaining. ;)

Thank you Niklas for your replies.  We do have a couple of admins on our team who may have used this utility in workflows for their project and I was looking for a solution to find out where this add on is being used.  It sounds like I have a couple of different approaches.  Go  to each post/condition/trigger function in each workflow for each project and search for (JSU) or export each workflow and search for the class.

So if I uninstall this add on it does not remove the workflow post functions?  Would I still need to go through and remove those functions, conditions, or triggers where JSU may be configured?

Thank you

Hi Dawn

We ran into the same problem a while back when, it is some manuel tidying up work. :(

Yes this is the key of the JSU app. And when JSU is active behind every function is "(JSU)" I think.
