Xray DC to Cloud Migration

[Deepanshu Natani]

Hi,

I am trying to migrate Xray from DC to cloud.

In this process, I am trying to run python Scripts provided by the vendor here: https://github.com/Xray-App/xray-cloud-mig

The file xray_variables.py requires ID of a custom Field "GLOBAL_preConditionDetails".

However, I have not been able to find any such custom field.

The custom fields available in Jira DC instance are: "Conditions", "Pre-Condition Type", "Pre-Conditions association with a Test" and "Tests association with a Pre-Condition".

In readme file for python scripts (for migrating to Xray Cloud) https://github.com/Xray-App/xray-cloud-mig/blob/master/README.md
In the section "Understanding the Global Variables" for "JIRA Onpremise", the last custom field is specified as :
GLOBAL_preConditionDetails (The ID of the Pre Condition details customfield)

Can anyone here help me understand which field is the "GLOBAL_preConditionDetails"?

[Deepanshu Natani]

I just confirmed that it will be the "Conditions" field.

Putting this answer so that anyone having the same query can find the answer here.

Hello @Deepanshu Natani

Kindly share if you have been successful with the migration using the scripts. I have been struggling with the scripts for the last 2 weeks where I am trying to migrate the Xray server data to cloud.

Any guidance would be really helpful to achieve the migration.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Gaurav ,

Yes, after going through a lot of issues, I was able to migrate Xray Data to Cloud.

Can you elaborate on the issue you are facing?

Hi @Deepanshu Natani

I have executed all the scripts and quite a few of them are erroring out. Some of the errors are as below:

Hi @Deepanshu Natani

Is it possible for you to share the general approach which you took for the migration and troubleshooting the issues.

Thanks in advace.

Hi @Gaurav 

This error is most probably occurring because one of the test cases which the script is trying to sync is not present on your Cloud environment.

General approach:

• Before running the scripts, please make sure that you have completely migrated all the Jira issues to your Cloud environment.
• Install Xray on Cloud, check if your issue types (for Xray) are correctly identified by Xray. If not, take the necessary steps to reconfigure those issue types.
• Once the issue types are identified by Xray, you can start running the scripts.
• If you encounter issues with scripts, check if the corresponding issue/ test case is present on cloud or not.
• If the issue/ test case is present on cloud, check the error in detail. The script may not run if there is some invalid characters in your test case/ issues fields.
• You can also alter the JQL query/ ignore flag to skip the Jira issue causing the error.
• Some of the scripts can take even upto 3-4 days (depending on your data set). Specially the script for syncing Manual test definitions and test execs and test linking one.

Hi  @Deepanshu Natani 

Xray is integrated in the Jira Cloud Migration Assistant (JCMA), and there is Early Adopters Program (EAP) already started.
Please file your application for the EAP [here|https://surveys.atlassian.com/jfe/form/SV_6SAs9OX0eAbGk5f].

Hello Deepanshu,

Please suggest the best approach and if any document for the flowing issue and Friday is deadline for these...

In the below activity two companies are separate.(Ex. A&B Co.. now separate A company and B company) we need to do the B company projects migrate from Data Center to cloud. 

1) I want to migrate data from q-test to x-ray in Jira. I have 100 projects in my Data Center these need to be migrated to Jira cloud. May I know the best procedure to perform these activity. My q-test is no more using in Jira cloud.

2) And one more migrate data from x-ray to x-ray in Jira cloud. I have 50 projects in my Data Center these need to be migrated to Jira cloud.
