Overview

Infotip

You’ll need version 3.0.0 or higher of Project Configurator.

3.7.0 Update: Security vulnerabilities fixed in accordance with our bug bounty program. These vulnerabilities affect all prior versions of Project Configurator up to and including 3.6.2. We strongly advise that you upgrade to version 3.7.0 or later. See the 3.7.0 release notes for more information.

This section explains how to drive Project Configurator from the command line so you can create scripts that export or import complete projects. The method is based on interacting with the Jira server by issuing HTTP requests to concrete URLs. You need a tool that lets you issue HTTP requests from the command line, such as wget or curl. If you are not familiar with wget or curl, it is recommended you first have a look at the manual for these products.

...

In order to execute the scripts provided, copy them to a folder included in your machine’s path for executable files and make them executable.

Script versions 3.7.0 and newer

Download the following .zip file for our latest script versions for Project Configurator 3.7.0 or later:

...

The ZIP file contains the following scripts:

Auxiliary scripts

The auxiliary scripts are required by the Import and Export scripts:

wait-task-script

sh export.sh jira-host-url jira-context-path admin-user admin-password export-file-name export-mode project-key1 project-key2 ... -O export-options

Import script

This is an executable script that imports complete projects.

...

This 3.7.0 script version requires that you update the command used to invoke the import/export scripts. If you are upgrading, refer to the usage command at the top of the related scripts. It is also provided as a snippet

Export options

jira-host-url: Host part of the exporting instance base URL, including port if needed (for example, http://my-server:2990)
jira-context-path: Context part of the exporting instance base URL (for example, "jira"). Note that jira-host-url + "/" + jira-context-path equals "Jira base URL" (for example, http://my-server:2990/jira)
admin-user: Admin’s username
admin-password: Admin’s password
project-key [project-key2 …]: Keys of the projects to export, at least one must be provided
export-mode: COMPLETE for complete export or CONFIGURATION for exporting just configuration

Temporary files and error handling

These scripts create two temporary files in the same directory where they have been invoked. These files are cookies.txt (it holds the authentication cookie for the session in Jira) and response.html (it keeps the last HTML response received from Jira).
Scripts include a basic level of error handling. If any of the interactions with the server return an error HTML status, the script will stop and display the error status with its intended meaning. The last HTML response (that came with the error HTML status) will be left
in the response.html file. For example, if you try to run the export script
in
a version previous to 2.1.3,
the response.html file
will show the trace of a NullPointerException
.

In this example, something in Project Configurator failed. After searching PCP’s wiki or contacting support, we find this error occurred because we tried to export a project with agile boards from a Jira instance with Jira Agile v6.7.6, and Project Configurator is only compatible with Jira Agile v6.7.7 or higher.
