Can we migrate JIRA data on a per project basis?

We currently are running on an older version of JIRA, and want to begin to take advantange of many of the new capabilities. We are currently running on a download version, and plan to remain in this configuration going forward

The steps I want to follow are:

1) Bring up the new JIRA instance and build a new set of projects. We will run in this limited configuration for about 2 months while we prove out the new definitions

2) Migrate data from the old version of JIRA to the new version of JIRA, without impacting the new projects. There are no overlaps in the projects, resources, or assets between our new projects and the existing projects.

You can do a project import but you will have to upgrade the older version of JIRA to be able to do that.

You should be able to import from CSV, but not XML due to differences in data formats. Simply do a Project Import and you shouldn't see anything irregular, so long as all of the fields and such are intact. During the process, the new system will yell and tell you what it needs if anything.

I do not want to touch the existing environment. My intention is to take a project at a time, export the data and configuratoins (Screens, work flows, etc), and then import it into the new instance.

Once the project has been exported, I will lock it down in the old instance and users will begin using the new instance of JIRA for that project.

Short answer is "can't".

Long answer is you can, but it'll take a bit of work. What you'll need to do is export everything from the old system (standard xml backup), import it into a dev system at the same version, upgrade the dev system to the same version as the target, export everything again, then you'll be able to use project import in the target.

In that case project import won't work. Your other option is to do CSV export/import as Andrew suggested.
