Migrating from mantis to jira on demand

[Max KS]

I am trying to migrate from Mantis to Jira On Demand and I am trying to figure out what the easiest way to accomplish this is. The answer seems to be exporting from mantis as a CSV file but there is not very much documentation on this.

Hello Max,

we have a dedicated importer for Mantis, but it's availiable only for JIRA BTF. To import your issues to OnDemand I think the easiest way would be to:

1. Download and install JIRA on your local machine (can be evaluation license)
2. Import Mantis issues to local JIRA via dedicated importer: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Importing+Data+from+Mantis
3. Migrate imported project from BTF JIRA to OnDemand. For more instructions please look at: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/20191/migrating-standalone-jira-to-ondemand

I hope this helps, Cheers

Would this solution still work 4 years later?
