Project Import on JIRA

[Rahul Aich [Nagra]]

Hi All

I am going to perform project import on production jira instances.

My question is - Is there any issues to perform project import whilst users are using JIRA or is it recommended to use it during a time when there is minimum traffic (ie.e weekends)

Hello Rahul,

Since Project import is not acutually a trivial task to do, it's advisable to perform it during the minimum traffic time. Because you may need to change some configuration in your JIRA. You may refer to the following link for further details on project import:

I hope that helps.

Better be safe than sorry right? I'd always recommend to either do it during non peak hours or disable JIRA access during this time.
