Changing Jira, Confluence and Bitbucket Access URL

Yogesh Mude_qi979c

Hello All,

We have to different teams which are using two separate Jira instance to manages their work/project now we are planning to merge these two different instances to one and we want to have a common access/base URL.

Let say, we have two Jira, ie. Jira A and Jira B...for two teams. Jira A access URL is jiraA.xyz.com and Jira B access URL is jiraB.mno.com and after merging these to Jira A and Jira B instance, we want to have a common access URL called jira.abc.com..so both the team can access Jira with this new URL.

So my question is after merging what are the things we need to take care of...

1. As we have integration between Jira, confluence, and bitbucket.

2. Where are all we need to change the access URL? like application links, confluence user macro, rest API, GIT repo URL etc..

3. WHat are the precaution we need to take care of before merging.

 

If anybody has done this before so please share your thought on the same or any suggestion will be a great help for us.

Note: We are going to merge Jira, confluence, and Bitbucket one after another.

 

Thanks in advance.

Yogesh.

Hi @Yogesh Mude 

You have to have one primary instance that is the main one. Once you have decided which is the main instance, let's look at the steps you need to follow

Take the system backup of the secondary instance, and in addition to that inspect the apps you are using in the second instance.

Now all you have to do is import the secondary instance to primary instance project wise. Here what we to notice is copying attachments, copy the contents inside the attachments directory as it is into primary instance.

Make sure you don't have same project key for multiple projects while importing.

Install the apps in primary instance.

If there were application links configured in secondary instance, you have to redo it manually in the instance you are importing.

 

While this is all the main things, to make sure everything is fine, you can note down the facts in system info and cross check once the import is done.

 

Best to carry it out in test instance first and then on production.

 

Thanks,
