DB migration from oracle to PostgreSQL

[Sandesh Shetty]

In my organization we are using Oracle DB for Jira, We want to migrate the data from Oracle to PostgreSQL. If any one tried this migration, please help me to achive this. Please explain the practical challenges i can expect while migrating data from Oracle to PostgreSQL. Suggest any third-party tool to achive this.

note :We are using Jira Software 7.13.1

Just another suggestion, if your JIRA isn't large enough you can try generating an XML backup from JIRA (which was connected to Oracle DB) and then restore the XML backup file on to another JIRA (with the same version) and could be connected to PostgreSQL DB. If this is successful, you can restore attachments & install add-ons.
