I currently have Jira Software 7.3.0 running on Windows 2012 R2, and I'd like to upgrade to 8.8.1. Should I upgrade to any version(s) in between first?
This document includes a checklist with instructions and notes for the upgrade to 8.8. Since you're on Jira 7.x I believe you can upgrade directly to JIRA 8.8.1 (as indicated in the checklist, If you were starting from Jira 6.4 or earlier, you'd need to upgrade to Jira 7.x first before you upgrade to 8.x.)
This is an important tip for the upgrade (You'll see this note in the checklist too):
If you're upgrading from Jira 7.x to Jira 8.x we recommend changing the pool-max-size parameter to 40 in your dbconfig.xml before the upgrade. Leaving the default of 20 can sometimes lead to “ResultSet Closed” errors during re-indexing on 8.x.
@Carlos Garcia Navarro Thanks very much for your reply! I've already got that page open :) But I was just bit in the a$$ by a Confluence article saying it was okay to upgrade directly from 5.7.1 to 7.4.0, and I learned on this community board that it was not. So I was just trying to make sure. Anyway, I'll just upgrade to the latest 7.x version first to be safe.
Thanks very much for the pool-max-size tip!
