Shareware for JIRA Migration (Server to Cloud)?

Josh Oliver Silva

Hey everyone,

A little background before question:

My company contains about 1.5+ years worth of data in our JIRA server instance, and we are currently in process of migrating all that data over to a JIRA cloud instance.

Question:

Is there any efficient shareware (or tools) that my company can use to make the Jira Migration smoother and easier?

Hello,

Did you try to follow this KB?

If it works for you, then why would you need other tools?

In the process of importing we can only move current backlog items and not those from closed sprints. We end up losing some past data.

Ultimately, we're looking for some software/add-ons to move the history as well.

Short answer is that you can't. Importing data in full from a Server Jira on to Cloud requires you to import *everything* - the whole system. And overwriting what you currently have on Cloud.

There is a way to do it if you wish to preserve Cloud data.

Install the very latest version of Jira on a dev system
Download and import your Cloud server into it
Upgrade your server Jira system to the same version
Export from your server Jira system
Configure any projects you wish to move to Cloud in the dev system
Use project import to pull the issues in from the server export
Delete issues you don't want to put on Cloud
Export from there and use it to overwrite your current Cloud system
