Migrate JIRA to a new server while keeping same database

Alex Zuroff

We need to migrate our JIRA application server (version 7.4.2) to a new box in a different data center, but keep using the same database (Oracle 11g). All the migration guides I've seen talk about migrating the database server along with the app server, which is not what we want.

Is there a migration guide that I'm missing that covers this scenario? If not, what would be the safest approach to do this?

Alex,

moving jira app directory and data directory to the new server should work.

what i usually do is:

Copy the directories
point to the db, in your case no change is needed
setup the users to run jira
setup the permissions for the directories
optionally setup the service
start jira and remember to update email config if it’s necessary

then you can follow the guides to setup jira as a service

That's pretty much what we did - used rsync to move everything from the old server to the new server - we had the same named user on both servers, so rsync was able to copy the ownership and permissions over.
