HowTo Upgrade from 3.13 to 5.1x faster ?

Helmut Auer

Hello,

We are just evaluating the migration from Jira 3.13. to 5.1

It works fine now by installing a new 4.x version, migrating old db and then upgrade to 5.1

Is there a way to update the new testing version with the contents of the productive 3.13 system, without going through the two update steps and loosing all the plugins and settings we made to the new system ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Helmut,

The recommended method is to upgrade on two phase actually, first to 4.3 and above (4.3.x-4.4.x) then to 5.1. This is to ensure that the major migration process done in one upgrade phase so that the troubleshooting process will be easier if something happen.

For your information, JIRA 4.3.x-4.4.x is where the user migration occurred, then you could go straight to 5.x. However as describe earlier, it is recommended to upgrade to 4.3.x.

In order to upgrade with your plugin intact, you could try the following steps on your staging environment and see how it goes:

Upgrading Manually

Hope it helps.
