Import XML data from JIRA 4.3.4 to 6.2

MilanCiti

Hello

Is it possible to import data from XML backup made in JIRA 4.3.4 to new instance 6.2.3 ? I have set up test environment , so I would like to migrate data there. I have XML backup and snapshot of jira home directory ( attachments,indexes...).

Any known issues, before I proceed with trying it out ? Thank you in advance.

Regards,

Milan

Yes... See https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Upgrading+JIRA+Using+a+Rapid+Upgrade+Methodto begin with.

Now, the good news is that 4.3 to 6.2 can be done in one go, but that only applies to the core, unmodified Jira. If you've added plugins to 4.3, you can run into problems if you try to do it all in one go. I'd test the procedure documented above first, but I'd plan for going via one of the v5 versions if you do run into trouble.

At the moment, I am checking the following link, as well. https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRAKB/Known+Issues+For+Oracle

Good plan.

I'd also have a read of the release notes for versions of Jira you are skipping. Nothing heavy, just skim them for anything that might apply to you, and I'd only read the major/minor notes, not the bugfix/point-releases (i.e. 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, not 5.0.0, 5.0.1 etc)

Good point, regarding plugins, then this is next point to check. Ok, I'll give it try. Thanks Nic.
