Upgrade path from Confluence 3.2.1_01 and Oracle 10g to 4.3.1 and Oracle 11g

Question

Hello,

We need to make an upgrade of our Confluence System from 3.2.1_01 version in Oracle 10g to another server, Confluence 4.3.1 and Oracle 11g.

What is the best way of doing this?

Recently we've made a similar scenario with JIRA. Then we did this:

1. Install the latest version of JIRA in a new machine with a new Database in Oracle 11g

2. Make an export of old instance

3. make an import in the new one (and Oracle 11g

4. Copy attachments for the old to the new one.

Everything went fine.

Is it possible to make the same approach for migrating Confluence?

Did you mean v3.5.13? I can't find version 3.5.17 in the Downloads Archive (https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence/download-archives)

Hello there!

Since your Confluence is an old version, there's important to perform some intermediate upgrades:

1) First upgrade your 3.2.1_01 to a 3.5.x version.
2) Then upgrade your 3.5 version to 4.3.1.
3) Now you can install a new Confluence 4.3.1 with Oracle 11g in a new machine.
4) Export the data from your Old Confluence with Oracle 10g;
5) Import the data to your new Confluence with Oracle 11g;

Hope it helps! :)
