Jira Software and Core Upgrade. (7.1.9)

Question

Hello Cool People,

We  are planning to Upgrade our JIRA instance from version 7.0.0 (core:7.0.0 & software: 7.0.4) to the latest release which is 7.1.9.  Please correct me if I'm wrong but I understand that upgrading JIRA Software to 7.1.9 will also automatically iupgrade JIRA core to version 7.1.9. I hope someone can shed some light on  my queries below.

* Are the workflows will be automatically carried over to the upgraded instance?
* Should I manually copy the modified configuration to the new instance?
* Will it automatically connect to the existing DB (MSSQL) after the upgrade?

Any response will be greatly appreciated.

Best!

I would suggest upgrading your plugins after you have upgraded JIRA - it would probably be prudent to verify that there is a compatible version of all the plugins you have installed with 7.1.9 however, to be sure that everything will continue to operate once you have upgraded.

Hi @Jeff Sinclair,

Thanks for your response and for pointing me the right direction. This would surely help a lot.  I have another query below:

* Does the plugins needs to be upgraded first prior the the JIRA upgrade or can I do that post upgrade?

Best,
