Import the Jira backup file in 4.x to jira6.x.

After the Jira upgrade, we found that the zip backup file exported from jira4.x cannot be imported to the latest version of Jira 6.x.

Later, we can only compare the differences between the two versions, and then copy XML fragments one by one for upgrade.

The steps for upgrading are as follows:

1. In the new version of Jira, first back up a file sample, find the zip package, decompress it, and you will see: entities. XML, the entities. copy XML Information to the file.

Ii. Copy XML fragments:

1. Copy project: copy the XML file in 4.x to the file exported by Jira 6. x.

The XML Element tags to be copied include project, projectroleactor, remembermetoken, resolution, and schemepermissions.

2. Copy user information
The XML elements to be copied include user and userattribute.

 

3. Copy system configuration information

The XML elements to be copied include avatar, issuelinktype, issuetype, issuetypescreenscheme, membership, and nodeassociation.

 

4. Copy questions:

The XML elements to be copied include action, fileattachment, and issue.

 

5. copy the data files of earlier versions of jira4.x, such as D: \ Atlassian \ Application Data \ Jira, to the same directory of the new version.

 

6. Change the modified entities. add the XML file to the ZIP file backed up in step 1, put the file in data/import, and then log on to the new Jira version to restore the file.

 

Note: After the import, you may not be able to see the project information. You can click all projects to see if they are displayed. If they are displayed, click OK.
