We have run the migration tool on one of our projects, to test things out. We have had to go through and 'clean up' quite a few changes to the workflow. These were spelled out nicely in the reports after the migration, but take some time to manually change.
We have had some people do some verification, etc, and now some time has passed.
Ideally, I would like to 'update' the existing stuff with new changes that have happened to the source (jira server) project, such as new tickets, comments, etc.
This link makes it sound like this should be possible: https://support.atlassian.com/migration/docs/how-the-jira-cloud-migration-assistant-links-your-data/
however, when I try, I get an error that says:
Projects already exist in your cloud site
Each project must have a unique name and project key. This includes the history of any changed project keys on your cloud site. To continue, you can:
learn how to delete duplicate projects in your cloud site
read the guide on resetting your entire cloud site
remove these projects from the migration by selecting Remove projects from this migration
is this not possible?
Is my only solution for each project to migrate, manually update, get sign-off and verification, then delete the project and do it all again? I have >80 projects, and some are very large and full of attachments.
Solved! Go to Solution.
In order to speed up the cleaning, you can create a groovy script to delete all project automatically.
You can run that script using some add-ons, maybe trial versione, like scriptrunner.
