You can now migrate apps using the Cloud Migration Assistants

1160x620_2.png

When it comes to Cloud migrations, we know that apps are an important part of the equation. More than 60% of Atlassian Server customers use at least one Marketplace app or integration. And when asked about what factors they evaluate when choosing software, 65% of Atlassian Community leaders said that extensibility and apps are “very important” or “extremely important” factors to consider.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that automated app migration is now supported in the Jira and Confluence Cloud Migration Assistants.

 

The Jira Cloud Migration Assistant is already installed in Jira 8.14 and above, or can be downloaded from the Atlassian Marketplace. The Confluence Cloud Migration Assistant is already installed in Confluence Server 6.13 and above, or can be downloaded from the Atlassian Marketplace.

 

We’ve partnered with more than 25 top Marketplace Partners to enable automated app data migration for more than 70 Marketplace apps. Today, customer favorites like Questions for Confluence, JSU Automation Suite for Jira Workflows, Viewtracker Analytics for Confluence, Markdown Macro for Confluence, and Create on Transition already support automated app data migration. We are continuing to work with Marketplace Partners to bring even more automated app migration paths to you. See here for the full list of development in progress.

 

When you assess your apps within the Jira and Confluence Cloud Migration Assistants, you’ll be able to see whether your apps have migration paths, and if they do, whether those paths are manual or automated.


Here’s what assessing your apps will look like within each tool:

I was quite relieved when I saw that JCMA was finally working with JSM Projects. Unfortunately, it still doesn't work for us. Manually importing to the cloud isn't working yet for us either. I've been trying to get this done for a month and we still haven't run a successfully test run. It's a nightmare.

Hi @Nick Dring

Are you in contact with Atlassian Support about this? You'll get a dedicated Cloud migration specialist that can help you during the migration process. Additionally you may want to reach out to an Atlassian Partner that can help as well.
