proper way of archiving old issue in a project.

Question

Hi,

We need to archive old issues in one project. Could you please suggest a proper way of doing this. Not all issues in project just subset of issues.

I know a way to move these in a temporary project and then archive but without this, could you suggest another possible way.

Thanks,

Mustafa

It helps a little because one of the big performance things in Jira is permissions.  "Can't see whole project" is the second fastest permission check, so hiding a project makes Jira skip a whole pile of processing when it's doing permission checks.

I see that there is online archiving in following explanation https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver071/archiving-a-project-802592917.html

Does hiding a project helps in improving performance as I think the project issues are still in database.

Thanks,

Hi Max,

Thanks. I actually want to take those subset of issues in a project offline. So, I just will archive and remove so my number of issues reduces. I do not want to create a permission scheme, status or issue level security as in that case those will consume resources during search, etc.

Thanks,

Mustafa
