BigPicture disappeared from top navigation bar in Jira 7.1.2 after reboot

[eiger3970]

Hello, I started working with BigPicture and added some 'Programs' in BigPicture with tasks (issues). I turned off the server and the next morning, JIRA 7.1.2 shows with its navigation bar and options to Dashboards, Projects, Issues, Workload, Boards, Portfolio, but BigPicture is not there?

Where is all my work from BigPicture.

Luckily, I added the tasks as JIRA issues, so JIRA shows the issues, but i need the JIRA Gantt chart, as I don't know how JIRA projects or Portfolio for JIRA can offer useful charts/gantt charts to show a nice graphic timeline like the BigPicture Gantt chart?

Ok, found the problem. In Add ons > Manage Add ons > BigPicture > Enable needs to be selected each time.

A hassle, but maybe that's because it's the free version?

I changed the line

JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=""

to

JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS="Datlassian.plugins.enable.wait=300"

After starting jira, the localhost:8081 would not load, even after 300 seconds.

I changed the line to the original text and JIRA started up fine.

I think a different command or different location for the argument is needed...any suggestions please?

I think you need to add:

-Datlassian.plugins.enable.wait=300

(With the "minus" sign at the beginning)

That behaviour is not normal and certainly not a limit of the free edition. For some reason your JIRA constantly disables the plugin, will check that.

Most likely the fix would be to:

• Stop JIRA
• Following these instructions: https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/Setting+Properties+and+Options+on+Startup add the below argument to JIRA's startup parameters: Datlassian.plugins.enable.wait=300
• Start JIRA
