How to move XRay Projects between jira instances?

Anja Gawlik July 4, 2019

I currently try to move all our projects from our company's instance to the company group instance. It works fine with Configuration Manager Add-On for normal projects, but many projects use XRay, and Configuration Manager seems to simply ignore XRay. I also tried exporting and importing as CSV, but again no XRay data. Although it asks for mapping for all the XRay fields while importing. Additionally comments and attachments are gone this way.
Has anyone successfully moved XRay data between instances? If, how can this be done?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Anja,

Here you can find all the necessary information with all stages of this process: https://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/public/XRAY/Backup+and+Restore

Xray took advantage of the Jira "Project Import" feature that had already imported projects. The Xray feature lets you:

  • Copy a project from one Jira instance to another;
  • Restore a project;

In the document I shared with you, you have all the information on what to evaluate before using the import tool and steps to back up a project, restore a project, and information about how to import a project.

Best regards,
Xray Team

Hi Ines,

I have the same issue when trying to migrate from one site to other. I tried to open your link but its broken - do you have a relevant link?

Thanks,

Tal

Looks like Xray docs have moved - this looks like the equivalent one :)
