It depends. The two systems differ vastly and do not cover the same aspects of the Software Development Life Cycle. Jira is best of breed in PM, and issue/defect tracking while ADO is a good enough platform with top-notch cloud vendor lock-in.

It shouldn't be this difficult. However, it often is and I feel your pain. I will comment on your "Why spend money on addins when the tools we have work fine?" question. It's because the tools don't work fine. The marketplace addons are there because there is a use case that isn't being covered.

I'd have to go with AD&D. Most of my RPG days were in the 70s and 80's.

I would try that

next question. Do the links work? Meaning if you grabbed the link and used it in a browser, does it work?

It's a split between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3jgo5ea_zc and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkmS9tLgjDA

I have boxes of Disney VHS tapes for no reason other than I hate to toss them.

Have you looked at the Confluence log files to see if there are more details on the error? Site restore process failed with an error: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to restore plugin data: ImportExportException while importing plugin data for : com.atlassian.activeobjects.confluence.spi.…

Are these links internal, links to other Confluence pages, or external to other websites? If internal did the url to confluence itself change or did you keep it the same, e.g. you moved then renamed the server to the original server name? If editing the link isn't available, are the permissions correct after the move?…

Hi @Pierre Bosisio You don't mention if you are Cloud or Server. I have seen addons make exporting to a pdf troublesome, as mentioned in the links @Dan Breyen provided.

Try going thru this post. https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/unable-to-start-due-to-net-sf-hibernate-exception-genericjdbcexception-cannot-open-connection-128843899.html However, if Confluence is working and you have just noticed these exceptions in the log, it's likely that Confluence was having issues connecting to…

Congrats @satish_kumar 

@Katie_R I'm not from Atlassian but a fellow partner, feel free to reach out to me if you ever need anything, and could use advice from a partner's perspective. 

I'm a big fan of "Step 1".

My favorite is Confluence. I've always liked wikis and have used and been an admin for a lot of them. I run my company mainly from inside Confluence. My advice is to "explore the space". There is not a lot you can break, so go nuts, learn all the features, and see what everything does.

Here are my two Jindo's. Looking very innocent.

I'd like to sign up, I'm okay with being a pinch hitter or putting me down for a Feb date.

This comment seems to be sticking around. Is there a date range you can guestimate that your posts vanished? Possibly a glitch in the matrix?

I also can not reproduce this. If it's still happening could you list the addons you have, maybe we can help narrow it down.

I sometimes see a delay in my posts, nothing over a few minutes.

It appears you have been infected by ransomware. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/780618/c3rb3r-conti-v3-based-ransomware-lock3d-letter-o-l0ck3d-zero-0/ If you have a security team notify them immediately. 

There could be multiple causes. Browser issue: Try a different browser. Try using a browser w/o any plugins, like using incognito mode in chrome. Marketplace addons: disable addons one by one and see if you are able to edit the pages again Atlassian bug: There have been issues with special characters causing this problem,…

With years of experience in the industry, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of DevOps practices, and I'm eager to engage with all of you in discussions, share insights, and learn from the collective knowledge…

I would be interested in helping to host a Denver session.

Yes I have. It's usually something like, out of disk space, some dependency changing, or permissions-related issues. Can you expand on how you run Confluence? which OS, via a container, etc? Also, have you tried starting it from a command line and see if there are any errors/warnings? Maybe explain what troubleshooting…

It doesn't look like this error is what is stopping Confluence from starting. From this report, these errors can safely be ignored if not using Lucense logging. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-74303 "The above error comes from the log4j configuration that is related to Lucene query logging. It is safe to…

The short answer is Yes. You can connect JSM cloud with Jira on-prem. The longer answer is also yes, but you added a twist by asking about GitLab, there are a number of ways to connect GitLab and Jira.

I started using Jira in 2004ish. I became the defacto admin for it at one of my clients. Jira became one of the main products we supported over the following years. These days it's still the primary product we support at the majority of our clients.

Hi all, to introduce myself, I own ReleaseTEAM and we support our clients rolling our and using JSM.

I'd add this. 6. Build a relationship with the Accounts Payable team at your client. Building this relationship with the Accounts Payable team at your client is crucial for improving timely payments because it fosters open communication and collaboration. By establishing a rapport, you can gain insights into their payment…
