How to create a fresh server-id for Jira

Martin Bayreuther

We are cloning our production instance to a test / development machine every other week. During the restore process, the Server-ID is restored as well which means both instances run with the same ID. Now we are going to implement some new features and we want to test that on the development machine.

However a new application link cannot be created due to "Duplicate Server ID". This is correct. However I have a developer license as well (which is not used anywhere because the dev instance is a clone),

How can I change the dev instances server ID to my correct dev license ID?

Look for the propertyentry with PROPERTY_KEY=jira.sid.key and take note of its ID

e.g. One I checked as 10110

Then do a select * from propertystring where id=10110

The value returned is the Server ID

Sounds like you are after this answer - https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/28659/confluence-how-can-i-change-the-server-id-and-what-will-this-affect

Similar like that. I just need this for Jira not Confluence.

The Jira properties file does not contain the server id.

Neither does the server.xml.

I have no idea where it is stored.

Colin Goudie

It is stored in an OSPropertyString

You can either

1. Export your JIRA instance to a zip. Unzip it, and read the entities.xml file. Change it. Reimport back

2. Use the id from the above zip and change directly in the database

Give that a go

Hello Colin,

our instances ZIP file is about 150 Meg. Unzipped it is huge and therefore it is quite hard to edit in a "conventional" way. I could use awk or perl or something.
