This article describes how to export and import Polls data from one Confluence instance of the Data Center to another by using for the Polls for Confluence app.

Introduction:

Polls data in Confluence is not specific to a particular space but is global for the entire Confluence instance. Therefore, standard space export/import operations do not restore poll data. However, there are two cases in which you can export/import poll data.

Case1:

If you want to migrate to another Confluence instance fully, the following steps are required:

  • backup Backup Confluence data from source instance data to a file: Administration → Backup & Restore → Export this site → Export

  • On another destination Confluence instance:

    • Install Polls for Confluence from Marketplaceapp

    • Import backup file: Administration → Backup & Restore → Import Confluence data, choose archive file, click Upload and Import

    • After this, you should have all Polls for Confluence app data on this the destination Confluence instance

Case2:

If you don’t want to migrate the whole Confluence instance data and move Polls for Confluence app data, you can

...

follow these steps:

  • On the first source Confluence instance, dump the data of the following tables:

    • AO_7CB12A_OPTION_ENTITY

    • AO_7CB12A_POLL_ENTITY

    • AO_7CB12A_VOTE_ENTITY

  • On a second destination Confluence instance:

    • Install Polls for Confluence from Marketplaceapp.

    • Enter Update the license data for Polls from the old for Confluence serverapp.

    • Restore the date of dumped tables.

    • Now, you should have all Polls for Confluence app data imported into the destination instance.
