Can we upgrade on Prem to SQL2017 from SQL2012

[Glenn Matsushima]

Hello,

We currently have an on-prem installation of Confluence and JIRA.

We are in the process of upgrading our SQL Servers from SQL 2012 to SQL 2017.

Our DBA team has the following questions:

1. does JIRA/Confluence works with SQL 2017
2. Migration advice or documentation.

JIRA:

• Version: 7.2.4
• Build Number: 72006

Confluence:

• Version: 6.7.1
• Build Number: 7601

Thank you.

Hi @Glenn Matsushima , 

Jira 7.2 and Confluence 6.7 will support only SQL 2012 and SQL 2014. So, you first need to upgrade both applications to a version that supports both 2012 and 2017, and then perform the SQL Server upgrade.

• Jira 8.5 supports both versions and can be your target for the upgrade.
• Confluence 6.13 supports both versions and can be your target for the upgrade.

Let me know if this helps,
