"Hide completed issues older than" setting on Jira Software Kanban Boards

[Matthew Stublefield]

Can anyone say definitively what this setting does? Does it:

1. Hide issues from the board when there has been no activity on them for more than X weeks and they are in the right-most column?
2. Hide issues from the board when there has been no activity on them for more than X weeks and they have a resolution set?
3. Hide issues from the board when there has been no activity on them for more than X weeks and they have both a resolution set and are in the right-most column?

Hi all,

what I did (and what worked for me) was the following (Unix platform):

• · Unpack the installer to a temporary directory on the machine the new Jira runs on.
• · Shutdown the existing Jira instance to avoid port clashes
• · Override the 'JIRA_HOME' environment variable (at least for the running session)
• · Start the installer process
• · Call the default URL from a webbrowser
• · Click through the setup until it displays the ServerID
• · Throw away the temporary stuff
• · Run the SQL below to update the ServerID of the already installed instance
• · Generate the license key on my.atlassian.comusing the ServerID
• · Restart the already installed Jira and update the license on the admin page

UPDATE propertystring
SET propertyvalue = 'xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx'
WHERE id = (SELECT id FROM propertyentry WHERE PROPERTY_KEY='jira.sid.key');

(Where xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx needs to be your true ServerID)

Thanks,

Carsten

Hi there,

We have Jira v5.1 installed on VM in CentOS platform and we like to update to Jira v6.2. What are the procedures we should follow to install Jira 6.2 successfully.

Hello Pietro,

thanks for that quick reply...

That new installation will be used by a different department in our company and license costs will be billed to their cost center.
They got a totally new (and isolated) server and that's why I bought a new license for them as I wanted to have a clean cut between the two installations...

Regards,
Carsten

Hi Carsten,

Instead of using the new 25 user license, you can use a development license which is completely free for customers who have bought a commercial license. The development license contains the exact same type and amount of users as your commercial license. You can retrieve this license under your profile in my.atlassian.com.

Let us know if this helps!

Cheers,
