How to import CSV files into JIRA

Laks

I am trying to migrate all my test case and defects from Rally onto JIRA. All my test cases and defects from Rally are exported into a CSV file. I would like to know how i should import them into JIRA?

Hi,

From your description it looks like you are using JIRA OnDemand, (or JIRA Studio - an older Atlassian hosted offerings).

In this case you need to apply this trick - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/23019/importing-via-csv-and-sysadmin-account/23027 - as CSV importer UI is hidden for normal admins in this mode (it's only available for sysadmins). Good news is that we are making CSV importer (and a few other importers) available for normal admins without such trick in a very near future.

You can use The JCLI utility https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JCLI/JIRA+Command+Line+Interface Search for help on runFromCsv

I have the JCLI utility running and i have my CSV file in my local machine. Can you guide me what i should do next?

I'm a fan of JCLI but isn't it easier to just use the built-in CSV importer? Google for the docs...

Where can i find the wizard to use built-in CSV importer? I tried the Administation>Wiki>configuration>Import spaces

to import my csv file. But it wouldn't let me import it.

An example for jcli can be found at https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/JCLI-119 You still need to add the parameters for the base url and the credentials of the user who must have the permission to create issues, e.g. something like that: --server https://myserver.com/jira --user admin --password 123456

Dieter

It really depends how often you import issues. If you have to migrate projects again and again, i.e. If Importing is a really repetive task, i'd suggest to learn JCLI because it will save you a lot of time and you also can delegate this work to some experienced user. Afaik the GUI importer is only available for the jira-administrators, but not sure if this has changed in Jira 5
