Restoring Jira Cloud from on-premise backup

Sergey Kazakov May 17, 2021

Hello,

 

We're about to evaluate Jira Cloud (free). So we're trying to migrate from on-premise Jira using backup file. Existing Import procedure fails with following error:

"Error importing data: org.xml.sax.SAXException: The XML document does not contain the root element or it was closed too early."

I used simple python script to check if entities.xml is well-formed.

So the question: is there a way to get exact error (line/tag/whatever)?
