I am attempting to migrate several projects from one JIRA instance to another. I am planning to migrate users manually, and therefore only want to migrate users who are currently active on our source instance.
Has anyone done this before? Is it important what order you do this in -- import of projects before adding users, or vice versa? What happens to issues or projects that have some reference to a user that is missing? Are the issues still migrated as they should be?
Some of these projects are being migrated for archival purposes, so it is very likely that some of the users who aren't migrated over have issues/projects associated with them. I'd like to know if I'll run into any problems with the migration because certain users to not exist in my target instance.
