Hello @Roja Gurram

A similar question was answered by Thomas B regarding upgrading from 7.3.1. Thomas' biggest issue was the SQL connection string format changing;

The format changes during the upgrade due to a new SQL Driver but the format change in the config file was not changed automatically during the process.

Thomas referenced the Upgrading JIRA Tutorial that you could follow.

Let me know if you need any further information and remember to always perform a backup :)

Hope this helps,

Danny
