Changing JIRA to windows version

Question

Hi Team,

We are currently using JIRA server based application in our environment.

Requirement is we need to extract issues from JIRA based on a selected criteria but for that we manually have to do that.

If we can use windows version of JIRA we can use command prompt to extract the data.

is there any way to get addition windows/desktop of same JIRA which we are using in linux platform.?

Regards,
Nidhi

Right, if you're going to want more than 1,000 lines, you will need to find/write something that can page over the lists and get them in blocks.  I'd use Bob Swift's CLI add-on to do it - you can use that to pull the data over a simple connection and then write a few lines of script on the client machine to put them together and convert it to a pdf (this is a doddle on a Linux box, and a lot harder and more expensive on Windows)

I have no idea why you think moving the server to Windows would help you in any way - the extracts can be run anywhere, and don't care about the server.

Hi,

The extracts are :

For few specific projects from JIRA we need to extract all the closed issues for a whole year.

We require to take it in PDF using a PDF view plugin as it includes attachments and comments as well from JIRA.

For this purpose, we need to have a method by which we can every year get extracted data from JIRA in JIRA server in required format files.

We thought if we can use command prompt, it will be easy to use a script to extract data.

Moving to Windows just because you think you need it to do extracts is a lot of work for no reward - there are LOADS of ways of doing extracts.

Please could you explain what the extracts are?
