Import jira backup files in 4.x into Jira6.x_html/css_WEB-ITnose

I recently upgraded Jira and found that after the upgrade, the zip backup file exported from Jira4.x could not be imported into the latest version of Jira 6.x, which was very frustrating.

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

The approximate steps for upgrading are as follows:

1. In the new version of jira, first backup a file sample, and then find the zip package. After decompressing, you can see: entities.xml , we will copy the entities.xml related information in the old version backup to this file.

2. XML fragment copy:

1. Project copy: Copy the project xml fragment in 4.x to the file exported by jira 6.x.

The XML element tags that need to be copied are: project, ProjectRoleActor, RememberMeToken, Resolution, SchemePermissions

2. Copy user information
The XML elements that need to be copied are: user, UserAttribute Two elements.

3. Copy system configuration information

The XML elements that need to be copied are: Avatar, IssueLinkType, IssueType, IssueTypeScreenScheme, Membership, NodeAssociation

4. Issue copy:

The XML elements that need to be copied are: Action, FileAttachment, Issue

5. Copy the data file of the old version of Jira4.x For example: Copy the data directory under D:AtlassianApplication DataJIRA to the same directory in the new version.

6. Add the modified entities.xml to the zip file backed up in "One Step", and put the file into data/import, and then log in to the new version of jira Just perform a system restore.

Note: After importing, you may not be able to see the project information. You can click on all projects first to see if it is displayed. If it is displayed, OK.
