Moving single Jira-Projects from 6.2 instance to 6.2.1 instance

Mario Günter

Hi folks,

once again I need you to help me.

I wonder, if you know the best way to do that. I cannot Upgrade 6.2 for the next couple of weeks (PROD). But we would ned to have some of the projects including issues into our 6.2 instance.

I tried to do a Backup in 6.2 and then importing it into 6.2.1 - no success.

Is there any other way?

Best Regards,

Mario

Hi all,

i got it!

Transfering a project from FOO(6.2) to BAR(6.2.1), HowTo.

1. Full Export of FOO

2. Created a virtual VM Win7 x86 with Jira 6.2 - let's say TEST

3. Imported a single project into TEST (followed the Jira Wizard)
- Restoring from FULL-Backup ended up in errors an died completely! See (log.log).

4. Upgraded TEST to 6.2.1

5. Full Export of TEST

6. Create the project you want to import in BAR and customize the project settings, so that
project-FOO matches project-BAR

7. Import single project from TEST-Export into BAR

8. If an error like 'projectroleid... ' occurs, follow this instructions from Marcus Silveira
[Atlassian] here:
https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/93770/no-projectroleid-field-for-projectroleactor<br< a="">> Than do step 7 again.

9. Done.

That worked for me. Hope this helps someone out there.

Best Regards,

Mario
