Error importing Pivotal project

[Desislav Kamenov]

I'm using Jira v4.4#649-r158309

GreenHopper is v5.7.1

I've updated my Jira Import plugin to the latest version (3.5.3). Additional related plugins com.atlassian.jira.plugins.jira-workflow-designer - v.2.0.0, com.atlassian.jira.plugin.workflow.blockinglinks - v.1.0.0 , com.innovalog.jmwe.jira-misc-workflow-extensions - v.2.4.1

I want to import an existing project from Pivotal to Jira using the import plugin.

I started doing it as described in atlassin's confluence but when the import process starts I get to following error

As it is a bit difficult to upgrade our jira instance quickly, i will play a bit with a CSV export from pivotal and import it. I already tried it and it imports the project with small issues.

Hi Desislav,

There is a KB for this error, please refer to the following link.

• Subsequent Imports from Pivotal Tracker Fails with java.lang.Exception

Hope it helps.

Cheers,

The new project is being created but there are no PT workflow or issue type schemes created. Also this is my first Pivotal project to be imported in Jira.

Hey, you are running on a quite ancient version of JIRA Importers Plugin. I know that newer versions require JIRA 5.0+. Do you have a chance to run it on a newer version of JIRA?

Honestly it's quite possible that this bug has been fixed since then.

1) which version of GreenHopper do you use?

2) which exactly version of JIRA Importers Plugin do you use? The latest version works only with JIRA 5.0.2 and newer.

3) do you have some other plugins installed in this system?

4) do you have any additional information in JIRA log file? (<JIRA home>/logs/atlassian-jira.log)
