Cannot create a backup from older version of JIRA.

[Pat B.]

We've been upgrading Jira from an older release to the actual 7.8.1, hosted on Windows Server 2008R2 on MSSQL.

After performing this, we're having some strange issues.

1. Cannot start a manual XML backup

   Fehler

   • Ausnahme bei Sicherung: java.lang.IllegalStateException: TABLE: AO_013613_EXPENSE: AMOUNT - CREATED - CREATED_BY - DATE - DESCRIPTION - EXPENSE_CATEGORY_ID - ID - SCOPE - SCOPE_TYPE - can't find type -151 (precision=23,scale=3) in field CREATED
2. Cannot create a Jira Help Desk project
   1. Hmm... we couldn't create your project due to an unknown error. Try refreshing the page to start again

How can we correct this? It's the first time we're having Issues with Jira - Please tell me how to troubleshoot this.

We will then move the Jira installation to a Ubuntu/Postgres based setup.

Kind regards

Hello Audrey,

For more information on Nic's answer, please see Language Support for Applications. You can either Set the Default Language, or users can Choose a Language in JIRA.

Yes, you can set JIRA to use French.  You can set the language for individuals in their profile, and set a global default if you are an admin.
