Custom application tabs gone after migrating to Atlassian OnDemand

[Alexander Klimetschek]

I just migrated from Atlassian JIRA Studio to OnDemand, using JIRA + GreenHopper only. Now all the customized application tabs are gone from our projects.

The documentation is wrong, it seems to mention the old Studio administration UI. There is no "General" tab & there is no "Tabs" section anymore:

I have the fear that the tabs are gone because I only use JIRA + GH now. This can't be true, right?

Since you are using JIRA OnDemand only, the application tab is, indeed, not available for configuration. We have raised this issue to our technical writers to correct the doc.

The (forced) migration did not mention the loss of this useful feature. Should I contact support directly?

What is the functionality you have lost? Everything should still be there, just presented through the regular JIRA admin UI instead of the re-organised Studio admin UI.

Our customized tabs are gone - with often-used links related to the projects. I don't see them anywhere anymore.

Ah I see! Yes, that is an unfortunate side-effect. There was a need to have a JIRA-only OnDemand instance look just like standalone JIRA, so we weren't able to keep these in. While this is not an ideal workaround, you could add another application (e.g. Confluence or FishEye) at the cheapest price point to get these tabs back. Otherwise I don't think we can get them back for you :(

Ok, not really satisified, but at least a definite answer...
