Will there be any problems with future upgrades? in Jira Datacenter after migration from Jira server

Question

We are currently upgrading from Jira Server to Jira Data center. We have installed Data center license in the existing Jira server. We are setting up multi node in data center. Currently we are on Jira 8.22.2 version. Will there be any problems with future upgrades? what problems can arise? Can you tell.

Problems depends from your own instance (plugins, customizations and so on). By the way in my experience there were no issues during 9.4 upgrade. You can find some useful information at the following link https://confluence.atlassian.com/jiracore/preparing-for-jira-9-0-1115661092.html

@Fabio Racobaldo _Catworkx_ ,

First we will upgrade in testing environment only, We are currently migrating from Jira Server to Jira Data Center. That's why I'm asking. Any problems come up? We want to know any Compatibilities in the Data Center at the time of migration from 8.22.2 to 9+ versions.

Thank You,

Yesuratnam.

Hi @Yesuratnam Maddu ,

what do you mean with the future upgrades? Each upgrade should be tested in a test environment first in order to ensure that there are not regressions. All of us we are tecnical guys and not soothsayers ;)
