Hi,

I Need to import/migrate 2 projects from cloud JIRA to on premise JIRA from different company. Can anyone tell if this is possible and how.

Hi @Deepthi ,

Restoring a project from Jira Cloud to Jira Server

You cannot import a project directly from Jira Cloud to Jira Server — the importer will display errors about version mismatches. If you want to restore a project from Jira Cloud to Jira Server, follow the steps below:

1 - Install a new Jira instance (in addition to the one that you want to import your project into). This will be a temporary instance that is used to store a full Jira import from Jira Cloud. Ensure that the version of this temporary instance matches the version of the Jira instance that you want to import your project into, e.g. JIRA 6.2.

2 - Do a full Jira migration from Jira Cloud to the temporary Jira instance. See Migrating from Jira Cloud to Jira Server applications.

3 - Export the desired project from the temporary Jira instance.

4 - Import the project into your desired Jira instance, by following the instructions in the Restoring your project section below. 

5 - (optional) Delete the temporary Jira instance, once the project has completed.

Hello @Deepthi 

Welcome to the Atlassian community!

This document does not provide instructions for migrating selecting projects from Cloud to an existing Jira  on premise instance.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/migrating-from-jira-cloud-to-server-applications-938846963.html

However, this post indicates you would execute a full migration from Cloud to a new, temporary on premise instance, and then export the individual projects from that temporary on premise instance and import them to the final destination on premise instance

@Deepthi hi! I'll just add another option to the current list of propositions. You can opt for a 3rd party solution to help you connect, sync, and move the data you want from one Jira instance to another. ZigiOps is such. It will connect the Jiras, sync their data and allow you to migrate the exact projects between them. Feel free to look at it, just for reference.
