I have found the solution.

I have imported backup of my Jira instance and deleted all caches.

Hi @Akhmed Mokhamed Did you check the Jira application logs when you enabling the plugin or installing the same, that could give you insight what the cause here.

Also, most of the time plugin enable/disable issues are related to the plugin cache, so I would suggest try clearing the plugin cache as mentioned in the below document and restart nodes once by one, this should resolve the issues if there is no issues with the plugin version itself.

Hi @Akhmed Mokhamed ,

I am afraid that you cannot install the BigPicture version, which was released in July 2021, on Jira DC 9.12.4, which was released in February 2024. Versions are not compatible, there will be database conflicts, not to mention that BigPicture communicates with Jira through Rest API. 3 years ago that interface was completely different.

To resolve that issue, please open a support ticket here.

Best regards,

Hello Lukasz,

You are right, but my question is why BigPicture is suggesting me to install version 8.1.x, when I am trying to install the latest 8.35.0.

Hey

What was the version that you had before the installation of 8.1.12?

Akhmed Mokhamed

Hello,

It was 8.29.0. Then I updated it to 8.35 thru Manage Apps and the error occurred.

Hello Sagar,

Nice suggestion, I have tried to clear the plugin cache. Unfortunately, the issue is persisting.

I think something happened with the DB when all of these updates were happening:

Database upgrade is impossible because of the lack of upgrade tasks continuity. Current database version is: 0 but next Upgrade Task version is: Optional[TaskCoreUpgradeTaskV28@185@DML]

I have found the solution.

I have imported backup of my Jira instance and deleted all caches.

I had a backup from today. Then I simply imported it into Jira which fixed my issue.

Thank you all for your support !
