Attachments

[John Moss]

I have manually uploaded around 10,000 historic cases into JIRA from an old solution we had for reference purposes.

Along with this i need to attach around 3gb of attachments.. There are around 30,000 although most of them are quite small.

If I go to the default location and copy the existing attachment folder and rename it to the issue number in JIRA it doesn't show up.. what do i need to do to attach these files to these issues?

If you want to add attachments legally without going behind the covers, you can use addAttachment using https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/JCLI/JIRA+Command+Line+Interface . And you can import issues more easily too, especially with the 2.1.0 support - https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/wiki/display/ACLI/Release+notes+2.1 . Specifically, runFromSql if you have a database of the information that can drive the import/add.

Attaching an issue means lines in the database. I actually answered something almost the same earlier today - have a look at https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/1406/how-to-import-attachement-files</p<>>
