migration as well version upgrade for jira

vidhi goyal

Hi,

I want to migrate my jira from one server to another as well upgrade also.

In the jira document they say either about migration or upgrade.

As per my assumption do I need to first install a older version of jira in new server for migration. And after that inplace version upgrade.

Please tell in more detail

Er, the documentation absolutely does cover moving from one server to another, upgrading and changing databases amongst other things. I don't think you've bothered to look for it frankly. Try any search engine for "jira upgrade" and you'll find hundreds of links to the Atlassian documentation.

Anyway. The order is up to you. You could upgrade your current system in place, then move it. Or move it, then upgrade it. Or do both at the same time.

I'd tend to do move then upgrade myself, with a view to doing both at the same time - the reason is that if you don't touch the old original server, you've got a fail-back if your live implementation goes wrong. It all depends on how your testing goes as to whether you think it's possible/safe to do it all in one go.
