Analysis of configuration changes to Jira Cloud
After analyzing the projects that will be migrated, Cloud Migration Tool presents users with a detailed report of the changes that will be introduced. The analysis process checks all the configuration elements and issues of a projectthe projects in the migration scope. Not only that, the app allows you to make transformations to the configuration in the migration scope before moving them to the cloud.
The analysis report contains information about phase provides you with the following information and data:
Counters summarizing the number of migrated configuration elements and the problems encountered. Learn more
Projects that are being migrated.Learn more
Configuration elements that are being migrated.Learn more
Users in the migration.Learn more
...
Configuration counters
On the Analyze changes page, the configuration element reports display the number of elements of each type that will be added, modified, or have problems on the cloud.
...
Learn more about the information displayed in the Configuration tab for each configuration element.
Projects being migrated
The Projects tab shows you the projects that will be added to the destination Jira Cloud site. In addition, it displays the name, key, type, lead, and issue count of each project.
...
If there are conflicts between projects on the current Jira and Jira Cloud, you can use the Conflicts filter to easily find and manage these errors.
Configuration elements being migrated
The Configuration tab lists the configuration elements that will be added or modified on the Jira Cloud site. The report there contains each configuration element's name, type, and problems if any are detected.
...
In the Configuration tab, there is a tag next to each configuration element name indicating its change type:
...
- the migration will add the element to your Jira Cloud.ModificationStatus colour Green title addition
- an element from the current Jira will modify its matching element on Jira Cloud.Status colour Purple title modification
...
Type - filters the elements based on their type.
Addition - shows only the elements that will be added.
Modification - displays only the elements that will be modified.
Problems - shows the problems detected.
Users in the migration
The Users tab shows the migration status of all users from the migrated projects. The users can be either existing on the Jira Cloud site, new users that will be added to the cloud, or unknown users with an undetermined status.
You also have the powerful option to change how a user will be migrated. Users with changed migration details are marked as customized.
The Users tab on the Analyze changes The Users tab on the Analyze changes phase contains all the information about the migration status of your users, plus the option . The Analyze changes page also offers a powerful feature to customize their the user mapping. With custom user mapping, you can map a source details. It's called Customize mapping and allows you to edit user details to:
map a Server/Data Center user to a different
...
Cloud account and
resolve user errors like missing or invalid email addresses.
The users in a migration Users with changed migration details are marked as customized.
The migration status of a user can be:
New: User who doesn’t have an account in the Jira Cloud site and will be invited to join
Existing: User with this email exists on this Jira Cloud site.
Unknown: User doesn’t have a valid email address, and it cannot be determined if the account exists on the Jira Cloud site. The user either doesn’t have an email address, or its email address is invalid.
Customized: User is mapped to an account on the Jira Cloud site via custom mapping.
Check out our complete User Mapping tutorial, which introduces Learn more about migrating users in the User Management and User Transformations documents. Read about the different options you have available to successfully manage your users during a migration and ultimately transport migrate them safely to the cloudCloud.
View the detected problems
Cloud Migration Tool detects essential problems and conflicts in the configuration during the Analyze phase of a migration.
The detected problems are two types: warnings and errors. Warnings do not stop you from finishing your migrations, but errors do. So in case the if analysis detects any error errors or conflict conflicts between the current Jira and Jira Cloud configurations, you need to take care of it them and fix it before you can them. Otherwise, you won’t be able to continue and complete the migration.

We advise you to carefully read through the texts of the problems and follow the resolution procedures if any are provided. |

Make changes to the source configuration in the migration & resolve errors
The analysis phase of the migration does not only report the changes required to blend the source and destination configurations, but it also allows you to make changes to the configuration before migrating it.
On the Analyze changes page, you’ll have the following tools at your disposal:
Inline transformations of projects and some configuration element types. Read more about these transformations.
Resolve action suggested for some of the errors detected by the analysis. Read more about this action.
Download mapping file with the information on how the source projects, configuration elements, and users will be migrated to Jira Cloud. For example, if a new configuration element will be created or an existing one will be updated on the cloud (the so-called mappings between the source and destination elements). This includes the mappings between the source and destination configuration elements.
Customize mapping - allows you to apply transformation to projects, configuration elements, and users in the migration scope including the mappings between source and destination configuration elements.
Resolve the detected problems
You can resolve the detected conflicts without leaving the migration wizard. To achieve that, Cloud Migration Tool allows you to:
change project name and key
rename workflows, workflow schemes, and issue type schemes, and
rename project filters

Rerun analysis
...
after resolving problems outside the migration wizard
To create migrations to Jira Cloud sites:
Start a migration as described in the Migrations tutorial.
Review what will be added to and modified on the cloud on the Analyze step. If the migration detects any problems or conflicts between the server and cloud projects, the analysis will alert you and show you the details of each problem.
On the Analyze changes step, review if any configuration problems are detected.
If you have configuration errors or conflicts, you need to resolve them before migrating. Otherwise, you won’t be able to proceed with the migration.
Click the Rerun analysis button to check if you have successfully resolved the errors. The gif below illustrates how to rerun the analysis after fixing the detected errors.
After resolving all errors and rerunning the analysis, click the Migrate button to run and complete the migration.
