How can i move projects from one DC to another?

[musienko71]

Hello Community,

Our company has different organizations which use their own DC JIRA instances. We would like to consolidate this approach and move some of JIRA projects from one DC instance to another, while keeping other projects where they are. I spent some time searching for a possible options, but haven't found anything which suits it well. Would appreciate any guidance you can provide.

Thank you,

Alex.

Hi @musienko71 welcome to the community.  Are your DC instances clustered nodes?  or separate instances?  There are apps available that I've used in the past to move projects from pre-prod to prod, check the marketplace.  Another thing that you could do is to create application links between the instances allowing you to Federate your systems.

Hi Craig, we are on separate instances. Thank you for recommendation on martketplace apps, while  it might be an issue with our internal security. I'm looking more for a JIRA built in options.

Hi @musienko71 sorry there is no built in option that I am aware of.  Maybe someone else knows something I don't.

Hi @Craig Nodwell

I have the same scenario; can you provide me the marketplace apps that helps in migrating from one DC to another DC?

This tool here:
I've found that you'll have to do some cleanup on the exported file before importing.  For users/groups etc.

Do you have any documentation on the migration process using CMJ plugin?

[Craig Nodwell]

Sorry @Neelufar Shaik I do not.  I've not used it in a couple years now, and that was at a different client.  However I have used it many times over the years, just no need for it now.  The one pain that I remember was the necessary clean up for users and groups, but it was easy enough to do since the contents of the export are in a .xml text file.

I would suggest that you get a trial version and try it out in a test environment.
