Archive Multiple Versions in a JIRA Project

Michael Roff2

Is there a way to archive multiple versions in a JIRA project all in one go?

We have MANY versions in JIRA due to autumatically adding each version after a new build is complete. We now want to be able to efficiently go through and clean this up as quickly and easily as possible.

Any ideas?

You can use JIRA Command Line Interface archiveVersion aciton. It does a single version. If you have a query that determines the versions to be archived, use runFromSql action. Otherwise you can script the archiveVersion in your automation. There is also an unarchiveVersion action. Example: jira --action archiveVersion --project XXXX --version v1234. getVersionList may also be helpful. You will need 2.4.0-SNAPSHOT or higher - https://bitbucket.org/bob_swift/jira-cli/downloads.

Thanks Bob.

I will give this a go once we have upgraded to v4.4.3 OR do you think the existing issues in v4.4.0 won't be a problem for this specific function?

That is an old SOAP API, should work on almost any JIRA release.

I had a few struggles getting CLI working - ended up being I had a % symbol in my password which was doing nasty things to the jira.bat script. Now I have that sorted, I have been able to extract the Version information from the project I want to work on.

Is there a way I can create a file which contains all the versions I want to archive and then pass this into the archiveVersion action?

Im still finding my feet with CLI [obviously ] so would appreciate any guidance you can offer. BTW - I am beginning to have evil thoughts about all the customisation and automation I can do with this tool - it's very neat!
