Please share the steps to upgrade from JIRA 5.2.10 to JIRA 7.1.1

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

The best thing to do is a couple of in-place upgrades (upgrade via export/import is generally not recommended as it's often painful)

Hi,

we are follow below steps to upgrade JIRA from 5.2.11 to 7.1.9

Migrate Data from 5.2 to 6.3 and then 6.3 to 7.1

1)      In JIRA 5 - administration - export => file "migration.zip"

2)      If doing the MTP:

Stop JIRA 5 (don't stop for test and dry runs)

3)      Copy JIRA 5/export/migration.zip to JIRA 6/import/

4)    Cleanup this archive to remove unavailable entries (KT*)

1 egrep -v "(QANDAA|QANDAQ|QANDAE|a_text|q_text|TimesheetEntity|TimesheetScheme|Myaa|ReportEntity|ReportScheme|LinkEntity|LinkScheme|WorklogExt|WorklogType|KPlugins|KPluginsCfg|cfgDefaultValue|cfgLDefaultValue|cfgValue|cfgLValue|jjlf_config|jjlf_project|jjlf_category|KListenerSils|JiraCapacityPlan|additionalTaskDescription|testexecutionhistory|KRSSecurity|KBlitzActions)" entities.xml > entities-purged.xml

1)      Zip the modified entities.xml file back into a backup file;

Note: If you're running an Unix-based operating system, you can run the below command on a terminal window.

1: mv entities-purged.xml entities.xml ; zip -r MyBackupFile.zip entities.xml activeobjects.xml

Restart the XML restores process;

6)      in JIRA 6 - administration - export => file "migration.zip"

7)   stop JIRA 6

8)   copy JIRA 6/export/migration.zip to JIRA 7/import/

9)   in JIRA 7 - administration - restore, override licenses with dev licenses

10)   copy content of JIRA 5/data to JIRA 7/data (mainly attachments, small dir with avatars)

11)   Set attachment directory : WebGUI => Admin => system => Advanced => attachments => Edit settings => Select Default Directory option
