Note

Jira Data Center allows you to run a cluster of multiple Jira nodes. Perform and complete the migration strictly on one node only. Different nodes don’t share the same migration state.

Note

Before starting the migration, check the application link page, if there are multiple connections pointing to different Salesforce URLs, take a screenshot of those connections or copy them down.
