Upgrading Jira 3.10.2 to Jira 4.45

Harsha Hegde

Iam currently using Jira version 3.10.2 which we are planning to upgrade to version 4.4.5 before upgrading to 5.1.2.

Could anyone please let me know, if i can upgrade the jira 3.10.2 to jira 4.4.5 in the same instance? If so, what is the procedure.

Do i have to install jira 4.4.5 as seperate instance and migrate the issues ?

In theory, your upgrade can be

Shut down Jira 3
Install Jira 4 in a separate directory
Tell Jira 4 to use the old database
Tell Jira 4 to use the existing home directory
Start Jira 4
Wait for it to upgrade

In real life, don't ever do this. Work on copies, so you can always revert back. More importantly, take copies and TEST the process first. If you have problems with direct database upgrade, then export all the xml from 3 and import it into an empty 4.

Hi Harsha,

a seperated instance is a very good idea! Export all items from old instance as XML file and import this file into your new instance. All the time have a look at the log files.

Mathias

I think you can try it but .... what do you do if somthing went wrong? If you have a seperate instance you reset this environment and try it again.

Is there no way to upgrade on the same instance ?
