When we migrate JIRA instance to a new server, In the new server do we need to create administrator account manually in the wizard ? We are not going to change the Database. Our database is in the separate instance.
If you migrate your JIRA (configuration and data are transfered to new server) all accounts will be retrieved from old instance.
There is an option to restore data from backup when setting up new instance.
Hello,
There's no need for that as the users are stored in the DB, you can check the administrator accounts with the following query:
select M.child_name, SP.perm_parameter, SP.permission , U.directory_idfrom schemepermissions SP, cwd_membership M, cwd_user U, cwd_directory Dwhere SP.permission in (44,0) and SP.perm_parameter = M.parent_name and U.user_name = M.child_name and U.directory_id = D.id and U.active = 1 and D.active = 1
select M.child_name, SP.perm_parameter, SP.permission , U.directory_id
from schemepermissions SP, cwd_membership M, cwd_user U, cwd_directory D
where SP.permission in (44,0)
and SP.perm_parameter = M.parent_name
and U.user_name = M.child_name
and U.directory_id = D.id
and U.active = 1
and D.active = 1
Or all the users with a simple SELECT
SELECT * FROM cwd_user
If you don't hook JIRA into a clean database, all your configuration will be loaded from the database so there is no need to create an adm account manually.
The documentation below should help you to perform the migration:

Hope it helps!
