JIRA Database switch query

Sanu Soman2

Hi All,

We have two JIRA instance running like, JIRA A with HSQL and JIAR B with oracle DB1.. both having same data.

Now I want to change the DB for these JIRA instance like, JIRA A has to connect DB1 and JIRA B to new oracle DB ie DB2? Please suggest the best way to do this.

Is it possible to simply change HSQL to Oracle DB1 for JIRA A by editing dbconfig.xml file? Is this will work? or JIRA everytime look for empty DB?

Many thanks in advance

If both JIRA A and B are the same version, you can just swap the dbconfig.xml and perform a reindex. You might want to make sure that the plugins exist on each of the instance and is the same version.

So I can go ahead with changing dbconfig.xml file... right?

Sure, if you are afraid, make a backup of your Oracle DB and copy your HSQL database folder.

Yes.. both instance are having same version.. only difference is DB. So I can go ahead with changing dbconfig.xml file... right?

It shouldn't be problem if both are using the same version. Timothy has a point there which you need to backup the directories as a precautions. From Atlassian point of view, we would suggest the XML import method instead: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA060/Switching+Databases#SwitchingDatabases-differenttype

Do I need to restart the JIRA service for this? Or simply editing dbconfig.xml to map second DB will work? please advise.

You would have to shutdown the service, edit the dbconfig.xml and restart to ensure JIRA point to the new database.
