Thanks @mikutech ! I am in the process of migrating to cloud and DO have this connection in there but had not yet explored it. 

So... this topic has historical meaning to me. Moons ago in another lifetime, one of my colleagues was giving a talk on doing a sales pitch where he commented if I said <insert another colleague's name> is a pirate enough times, eventually you will think he is a pirate. He had a slide that said he was a pirate that…

Thanks @Dave Rosenlund _Trundl_ ! I am glad you like it. I think I can finally say that Cloud feels like "home" now.

Without question, JMWE can do this. That has become a Swiss Army Knife tool that I cannot live without both on Server and Cloud. The power of validators, conditions, and post functions that vary between point and/or shoot to set up coupled with full on Groovy on Server and Nunjucks on Cloud to do stuff outside the "box"…

This is a great function to have available @Dave Rosenlund _Trundl_ tightly bound to Structure. Beyond even the Structure Gantt approach, I personally find this methodology to be especially helpful in support group projects like IT where one has a delightful mix of Agile methodology, operational items injected constantly,…

All of the things @Mykenna Cepek said. Even more reasons to not be on SharePointless. The last paragraph is the big one and it applies to both Confluence and Jira. That is very much the "teach a person to fish" world and has served me well. I had "extra" time spent to get people rolling but I have far higher adoption,…

I am actually in the process if migrating from hosted to Cloud, @Kelly Arrey which isn't a headache but a full on bodyache. Will be good when I get there not least of which is the reason you cite. The recent CVE on Confluence, for example, becomes a SEP. When there is one of me running the entire stack from the bottom of…

@Kelly Arrey implies many of the things that made SharePoint an unpleasant thing to be around. I found it amusing to see "hopefully find what you need". In my experience, it felt like every search had an implied "not" operator added since it returned essentially everything except what I was looking for.

Hi @Chris Tetzlaff , I will start with the pros of adding Confluence alongside Jira * Extremely easy to add a Jira macro to a Confluence page that pulls issues from Jira live so it makes it very easy to have a reporting tool that always has up to date information in it * A Confluence page can be linked to a Jira issue with…

The other bit I would add to this... While JWM isn't as pretty as Trello, it is almost feature parity, allowing users to have the fully ad-hoc operation some of them desire. HOWEVER, if you are using JSW elsewhere, using JWM and team managed projects gets rid of a source of truth. I see many cases where I am still…

I am indeed taking the phased strategy, @Luzia Mendes [SmartBear] . I literally have no choice but to do that. The one galling thing that is in that as a "when to do this" is the "over 5000" users. Nope. I keep trying to get across to them that number of users is not directly related to complexity. I might have only ~600…

@acast2 I think I would tend to get JSD installed up front before you do any further work on the JSW part. The JSD projects act and behave completely differently and I would be worried that the upgrade mucking in the database might bork some of the JSD projects at least in configurations. You CAN upgrade it later but…

BTW, the 7.x to 8.x assessor might tell you good to go BUT there are API changes between the two. If you have any Groovy scripts or script fragments in JMWE, those may well break (notably ComponentAssessor moved)

Oh... didn't think about that... You SHOULD be able to point only the dbconfig file at the target. A couple of things that can bork you: * Make sure the user in the dbconfig file exists and has admin privileges on the jira database. * Make sure when you copy in the home directory from your source to the target that the…

@acast2 , to my tiny mind the thought of cloning off the VM is valid if you aren't looking at a platform version change. It simplifies things and makes a quick/easy way getting a snapshot of full production to use for test. I like your thoughts on proving out one bit at a time starting with the platform. However... if it…

Isaac Newton You make sure your team doesn’t fall down on the job no matter what kind of force you’re up against. You're the apple of your team’s eye when it comes to collaboration.

I have NO idea @Bill Sheboy I tried it that way the first time and it returned... nothing. As soon as I put the pipe in... it worked. Moving from Server to Cloud, every day I find a new faceplant event.

Found it myself... I was Doing It Wrong. Turns out THIS works Hi {{ issue.fields.customfield_10661.displayName.split(" ") | first }},

Athens is a lovely place. Most of my time there, however, has been usual tourist stuff along with other side journeys and not far from your location in Plaka... Good memories there.

I shall have to mention that to my brother as we both comment on how different our lives are since we escaped from analog society, @Flavien Gache 

Small World... Before I moved to California, I was living in the GTA for 7 years and... nearby. I lived in Georgetown. First job there was an engineering firm at the QEW/403 and then downtown (TSE then Citibank) taking the GO train every day to work.

I grew up on a farm just north of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. There is literally nothing there. If your dog runs away, you can watch it run away for 2 days. -40C in the winter 40C in the summer. it's a good place to be from (my brother and I both say we "escaped" but at least it HAS been mentioned as a joke on The…

@Linda Milne_Togetha Group_ speaks sooth. Moreover, with a bit of twiddling, you can export automations out of server and import them to Cloud. HOWEVER, you need to make a stop in the middle. Export from Server. Look at all the object IDs in the exported JSON file and then replace them with what the object ID is on your…

Put a fork in it. Done like dinner

Southern California. Those are not mountains; clouds

That, @Dave LIAO To my tiny mind, the most important part of the whole migration effort is getting the DATA there with the highest possible fidelity. Were a clean way to do THAT exist, the solo guy like me could chip away rebuilding function up top and move a project or group of projects at a time chosen to have a given…

What @Lorenzo Phillips said. It is true that for the simplest and smallest of implementations, one could get by without a Jira admin. Jira does a great job of being easy to do some stuff with but it is deceptive. When, not if, the environment grows, decisions made early on can come back to haunt you. A Jira admin does know…

If you would like an example of where piano and drums are used together with significant authority, I recommend this one. One of those that starts off gentle and light with the music becoming HUGE as it progresses. This is the kind of thing I listen to while working and have a big playlist of just this kind of music. The…

I was always a woodwinds guy when I played a lot, Soprano, alto, and contralto clarinet as well as tenor sax. Pipes; most people only think of them in terms of "Amazing Grace" but everyone should dig up some stuff by Red Hot Chilli Pipers (they are easily found on youTube) or listen to Shipping Up to Boston/Enter Sandman…
