Upgrade 7.1 to 7.12

wajih zouaoui

Hi,

we have actually the 7.1 release installed in our own server and we are trying to schedule an upgrade to 7.12 Asap.

We want to know if we must take in note all the features added from the 7.2 to the 7.12 ?

And what critical changes must be ware about it for this migration ?

We are using Windows server 2012 R2 and MS SQL server 2017.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

These pages are going to be the most beneficial for you to get started on your upgrade:

1) Jira Upgrade path
https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/upgrading-jira-applications-using-the-installer-938846937.html

2) Release notes for each version between 7.1.x - 7.12.x https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirasoftware/jira-software-release-notes-776821069.html

3) Supported platforms - making sure you're using the correct versions of all backend applications before upgrading -https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver070/supported-platforms-749382629.html

Another piece you're going to have to watch out for is if you're plugins are going to be compatible during the upgrade process.

The biggest piece of your upgrade effort should be cloning production to test and testing the upgrade while building a run book for the production change and having your users UAT it.

Hope this helps!

Hi @kris,

Can i list the Add-ons that we have and ask the support team about the compatibility ?

Thanks in adavance.

I had never done any Jira upgrade before and I am super nervous now to upgrade it because I have quite a bit of setting in Jira and afraid that I will lose them or have to redo them manually again after the upgrade. How difficult is it? Is there any good document out there that I can confidently follow? For my case, I have the following:

RedHat Linux 7 with Jira Data Center Version 7.5.0
SAML Authentication, SSL Certs for Authentication, Mail, etc.
Apache + Proxy setup to redirect https with no port
Quite a bit of Add-on plugins (Structure, Portfolio, ScriptRunner, etc.)
BitBucket & Jira Integration (again with all the SSL Certs and other Certs sync up)
System Dashboard custom HTML page
Custom Logo
etc.

Will I have to redo all those above manually? what do I need to do to be able to maintain them the same with minimum works to do after the upgrade?

Welcome!
