Greenhopper data from 5.2 is not importing to 5.1.8

Question

Hi,

My team is using the OnDemand instance which is running JIRA 5.2. I took an export and imported it into our on prem instance of 5.1.8.

Everything looked to have imported in until I saw our scrum boards. It appears that did not import over. Any ideas why? Is this a known issue? Is there anyway to fix that?

Cheers,

Graham

I'm pretty sure you can.  The server.xml file is more of a Tomcat config file, and I don't think the versions have changed radically enough to make it incompatible.  I'd check though.

Yup, the data is pretty close at a glance, but moving backwards is simply not supported.  I'm afraid the answer is to move to 5.2 and retry it all.

In that case, on a different note, after the install of 5.2, can I use my server.xml file from the last installation. In other words, can I replace the new server.xml file in 5.2 with my server.xml file from 5.1.8? I don't want to have to do all of the custom configuration for my security all over again.
