Can JIRA Configuration Manager add on migrate the Agile Boards as well?

[Ravi Sagar _Sparxsys_]

I am working on a migration project where I need to migrate around 30 projects from old JIRA instance to newer version on 7.1.1

Can we migrate JIRA Agile boards as well for those 30 projects? Or would that boards need to be manually created again on target? Any other way to migrate them?

Hi Ravi,

CMJ will add support for Agile boards in version 4.0 - we plan to release it in a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately there aren't easy alternatives at the moment. You'll need to create them manually or with some scripts. I've provided some more details in reply to the email you sent us.

Thanks,

George

George,

We recently used your latest version of Configuration Manager in which there is a feature to migrate Agile Boards as well. It worked well for few project but we got error with others. I have attached the error message too.

Please let me know the correct way to raise this issue.

We actually tried to perform Agile Board migration after data migration using Project Import but this error comes for few projects only.

Hi Ravi,

I replied to your email already. Shortly - the problem is that on some DBs the empty query strings are persisted as null and CMJ should handle this accordingly. We're working on releasing a fix.

Thanks!

Also, one more thing I wanted to ask that Agile Boards depend on the Filters. Would it be possible if the depended filters are automatically moved along with their Agile Boards? The reason is that it becomes very difficult to select the filters and then boards using checkboxes.

Even better if there could be an option to migrate the boards automatically (optional) related the the project's configurations that we are migrating.

[George Dinkov _Botron_]

Hi Ravi,

The filters for boards are actually included automatically in the snapshot and migrated. Although this isn't reflected in the filter selection table in the UI. We'll be adding improvements to make this more obvious in the future.

This is a great suggestion and we're planning on including such an option in future releases.

Thanks!

George, I am having the same issue as Ravi Sagar and please let us know if the future release is still happening and when do we get to use the product in the way we expected.

[George Dinkov _Botron_]

Hi Guhan,

The issue reported by Ravi has been fixed awhile ago and we have test running on our CI to make sure it doesn't come up as a regression.

You must be having a different issue. Can you send us more details at support@botronsoft.com ?

Thanks!
