Staging Environment

[Yuval Maron]

Hey,

I'll be happy to know what's the best way to set up a staging environment in Jira DC.

Also, is it possible to auto copy all the configuration, custom fields, workflows etc. between the two environments.

Thanks in advance.

@Yuval Maron  This guide is the best that I know that can help you. If you can make a VM snapshot copy the things can be easier, but make sure that there is not service that starts Jira on VM startup and edit the settings that point to the production database, and disable email settings both incoming and outgoing

@Fabio Oliveira Silva Hey, thanks for that but It doesn't suggest any way of copying all the plug-ins data which is one of our main issues with doing that.

Is there any solution for it?

@Yuval Maron for staging enrivonment with plug-ins/App data copy, there is no better way than copy/snapshot VM/database and disabling email settings, and redirecting database settings to the new database. I think it is something that anyone from your IT/DevOps team can do it to you
