Moving old Jira to a new server

Sean Johnson

Hello,

We are currently running Jira 5.0 on RHEL 6.2 and Postrgres72 v8.4.9

We plan to build a new RHEL (7.5?) server and install Jira 7.9 (and confluence, etc) on it.

Can I simply stop the apps, export the data, copy attachments to the new server, and import data (mapping corrections) in the new version?

My question really is about importing data from old version VS. doing staged upward migrations (which seems like the path we'd take if we planned to stay on the same server and just upgrade Jira.)

Thanks,

Sean

Sean,

I don't think you can import data from an older jira version.

I would suggest to just install the jira 5.0 on the rhel 7.5 server and then upgrade jira on that one.

Always worked for me.

Regards,

Laurens

Import does not support imports of data from different versions of Jira. 7.9 will refuse to import data from 7.8, let alone 5.

If you are talking about database imports (i.e. you point a 7.9 to an older database), then in some cases, it will work. It's not supported, it's not recommended and it certainly won't work for 5.0.

You need to upgrade 5.0 to 6.4 then 7.0 and then 7.9

Thank you Nic and Laurens

so I will have some problem to update from version 7.0.2 to 7.9 ??
or I have to update first to 7.8 and then to 7.9

7.0.2 to 7.9 upgrade should work (not import, just upgrade)
