While restoring a JIRA backup, the following exception is thrown
"Exception importing entity: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal group reference".
atlassian-xml-cleaner-0.1 utility cleans up all illegal characters (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Removing+invalid+characters+from+XML+backups)
java -jar atlassian-xml-cleaner-0.1.jar entities.xml > entities-clean.xml
But even after using the above utility, the exception is thrown. What could be the problem and what is the solution for this?
Thanks and Regards,
Krish
Hi Krish.
Just to be sure, after run the command line to clean the XML, did you rename the files, removing the '-clean' part e made a new .zip file with them to be imported?

In this case, I would recommend to open the files and look for special characters such as the $ in the column headings and remove it.
