Jira installation with exisiting Database

Question

Hi All,

I already have a JIRA install (let say JIRA application at serverA, and oracle DB name: JIRA in serverB, DB user: jirauser)

Now, I wanted to install a new JIRA instance in serverC, and use existing DB: JIRA in serverB with new user/schema/tablespace/service

It this can be done? Thanks!

Yes, you can run many JIRA user/schema in one Oracle database-server.  As long as the data sets are totally separate, it's fine.

You can re-use the same user, but I tend to recommend using different ones with ring-fenced access so that you can't make any mistakes (i.e. jira1 with access to schema jira1 for the first JIRA system, jira2 with access to schema jira2 for the second, and so-on)
